  • Windows and Linux are like an operators in a warehouse. Windows knows some ways to store stuff and keep track of what is stores, Linux knows some ways too. Sometimes the way they store stuff overlaps, sometimes it doesn’t. If you put Linux into a warehouse that Windows operated, by default, Linux will be able to find boxes and stuff, but the Windows operator has some small tricks up their sleeve to make it harder to put things back at the right place, remove boxes, or add new ones, and of course Windows has kept it a secret.

    If you want to find all your boxes in a Windows warehouse and continue using the warehouse without being afraid of squishing a small box with a big one because the piece of paper Windows uses has some secret handwriting that was misinterpreted for “there’s no box here”, it’s better to take out all the boxes, let Linux setup it’s storage system, and then put the boxes back in.












  • It does look like old youtube mix with some parts of newer youtube, I’ll give you that. To me, that’s what I like about it. It’s pretty much low-bullshit, but my eye is not for design.

    Are there any well-populated instances you would recommend? I could be convinced to give it another try.

    Unfortunately, I don’t browse through instance homepages anymore but through the GrayJay app, so my feed is a mix of videos from about 10 different video platforms and at least 3 peertube instances.

    If you want to find instances, Join Peertube allows sorting by number of local videos and number of total videos. Dalek.zone, Makers.tube, and peertube.wtf seem like the most active or have the most users and the most videos.
