WebOS app for me has been working like a champ for a long while now. It's so nice that it just works with my existing remote and everything.
Blocked all traffic to my TV at the router except local, and now it's a beautiful, free beast. Love the jellyfin crew.
I'll happily say I must have overlooked something, but I did try using update-alternatives. I don't remember all the nuts and bolts from the start, but it involves python3 and distribution upgrades. I spent a good number of nights over the years trying to unmess it up, and am happy to never think about it ever again.
Installed python3 before it was made the native python on the dist. Half broke everything, including apt & python. So I uninstalled it, and then everything was broken. Finally got python3 reinstalled, and lived with it kindof working & awful distribution updates.
I have finally freed myself of that prison last month, by nuking everything and starting fresh.
Its a meme at this point, but I tried to install arch. Ran into display issues during install and couldn't progress. Gave up and did Ubuntu instead.
I know there's supposed to be some helper stuff out there now to make it go smoothly, but don't think I am motivated enough to retry ever.
I've only just started looking myself, but theres agora online

Good luck, and thank you!
In fairness, I frequently forgot my steamdeck root password, because the need to use it was so few and far between. If you're always in game mode, then there's almost 0 reason that I'd need my password.

Reddit has many people who talk about a topic, and it's searchable.
Daily I google/duckduckgo: site:reddit.com [recommendation] and get a discussion of products or software or question, etc.
Lemmy may have some of that, but obviously doesn't have as much because it's ramping. But to make matters worse, searching federated content is more difficult than searching a centralized site.
On the other hand, Reddits internal search is absolute garbage. I think if lemmy works in making an amazing search within the federation, it'll help bridge that gap and give lemmy something reddit doesn't have.
Because their intent is to force people to use their native applications. They're intentionally making it difficult/impossible for third party apps to exist. They're wagering that their clout surpasses the bad-will they'll get for the crummy move.
Then they can bombard everyone with "he gets you" ads or whatever the most recent ad garbage is, and get their full revenue.
The high pricetag provides the failed venere 'if every user paid the fair cost of X monthly, you can use our api' in an attempt to limit said bad-will from the community.
