FR, younger generations don’t have to fix anything / solve any problems on their PC; any problem they’re likely to run into is an abstracted error within Google Docs, within their browser.

Agreed, Invidious is so much lighter than YouTube that I’ve had sucess watching on onion instances via Tor.

ruTorrent makes rtorrent a lot more usable if you dont like the CLI.

This looks AWESOME. I really like the way the page looks, its in Rust, and the “Hardened-with-no-scripts” option.

SimpleX has worked great in my experience! Currently torn between SimpleX and XMPP.

I cannot recommend Siskin, as those in my life that have tried it have always experienced random issues. I find Monal to be a better experience in every way, except for the lack of calling support with Conversations.

I’ve never used a steam deck, but I know SteamOS runs linux. If you have the terminal easily available, try:

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service (might be bluetoothd.service)

If that doesn’t work, this almost always resolves my bluetooth issues:

rmmod btusb

rmmod btintel

modprobe btusb

modprobe btintel

If none of that works, your bluetooth card could be disabled due to static discharge, in which case you should hold power button / hard shut down, unplug charger, boot again, plug in charger again.

These are only issues ive encountered on the Linux end. I would recommend troubleshooting the airpods by tapping the “i” button next to them and forgetting them, then attempting to pair with the Steam Deck

+1 for rutracker, also yts.mx is my go-to for films.
