I think most distros will work just fine. It’s gotten so so much easier since Valve invested in Proton to make the Steam Deck work.

Personally, I’m on EndeavourOS with Gnome and it works fine for all my Steam games on an AMD GPU. Years ago, I was on Linux Mint, and that worked just fine for gaming too.

One caveat: if you have an Nvidia GPU, driver support can sometimes be a headache (or at least it was several years ago when I had one). Some distros claim better out of the box support for Nvidia, like Pop OS

That’s terrifying!

I’ll save the next guy a search https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25

Yeah, I wonder what the cost breakdown is for transcoding, storage, streaming, etc.

I’m reading their FAQ here, but I’m still not sure how the money and hosting side works yet https://help.odysee.tv/category-basics/whatisodysee/

Edit: looks like it’s at least partially open source, maybe fully. It’s centrally-hosted and funded by ads, premium subscriptions, and some sort of crypto scheme that can boost a video’s discoverability

Fair point. I watch a lot of YT and block ads (though it sounds like they’re finally cracking down on that). I support some creators on Nebula and Patreon, but I guess YT Premium is basically like those.

Yeah, good point. The others are mainly hosting text and some images

Speaking of, got any good peertube channels? Tbh, I’m more familiar with nebula and floatplane - where YT creators made their own platform. Maybe that’s where things are headed

According to this you can even follow a peertube channel from Lemmy, though I haven’t been able to get that to work from either side. Curious if anyone else has?

Links to external instances should automatically be transformed

100% agree. Getting linked to other instances where I’m not signed in is a really clunky experience. It seems like that’s been happening less since I got on the Jerboa app (or maybe I’m just clicking on less links)
