I love Linux, use it regularly and even work with it professionally, but gaming is still a nightmare.

I tried one of these torrents for some small game, and couldn't figure out how to install it. Then I gave up and bought Spider-Man on Steam, tried to run Spider-Man through Proton but the performance was crap (supposedly it works great on Steam Deck, but not on my NVIDIA laptop despite having all drivers). Finally I gave up and installed a dual-boot of Windows.

Is there a plan to get it on Play Store? I know it's available on Codeberg and Izzy, but getting it on Play Store will inevitably increase its popularity.

What are you trying to prove?

There was some drama in the past with the Libva fork, but it's mostly all passed by now.

Yeah it seems simple enough. But even for a single instance user the would be many things to figure out, such as how to federate with other instances.

I miss being able to easily find communities (subreddits) about most of my interests.

Looks nice but very limited right now. Both beehaw and lemmy.world are featured but they are now defedrated (unfortunately).

For some of these communities there are alternatives on other instances, which are not mainlined.

I do have a homelab and could easily self-host a personal Lemmy instance if I wanted. But I'm not sure if it's worth the effort.

Some of my favorite communities are in the instances that Beehaw defederated from. However the instance I use chooses to federate with everyone so I can see everything from everywhere.

Lemmy has "all", which shows content from all federated communities. Since kbin is now federated as well, it can show in "all" even for Lemmy users. In fact, that's how I found this post! By sorting "all (new)".
