Interesting aside for anyone interested; you can subscribe to her Peertube account with your Lemmy account by searching [email protected] in your instance’s search bar (or clicking that link). Then any video she uploads in the future will show up in your lemmy feed, and any comments you leave on lemmy should show up on the peertube video! :D
and any comments you leave on lemmy should show up on the peertube video!
This is cool to see. Unfortunately, we from Lemmy can’t see comments posted by peertube or mastadon users. AFAIK, federation in Lemmy still needs improvement to interact with mastodon posts/comments.
The link you posted seems to have the full url embedded so it doesn’t work in my client. I think this will work, pasted as plain text: [email protected]
Ah, you’re right, it autocompleted with the full URL. Edited the comment to match yours. ^^
Neat, does this work from other peertube channels too?
I believe so, should work with any peertube channel.
yes
Have there been many posts in the past month? I only see one 3 weeks ago, not sure if it’s a federation issue
I’m not sure if the lemmy page will fill out with her previous uploads, I can only see the one about SSH on my feed too. She seems to upload fairly regularly, and this latest video about Linux Mint was uploaded 20 hours ago. I suspect if you’re the first person to subscribe on your instance, only future videos will show up on it, but I’m not entirely sure.
Makes sense, I was subscribed from a previous post but I’ll see if the new stuff shows up soon :)
I believe she made a post/video a bit ago saying that she was taking a break from the videos for a bit, after quitting her job. She said she was going to focus more on her channel(s) as her main focus, to do something she enjoys.
I see a lot of her YouTube stuff posted a month ago, a couple of new ones, my guess is that her break is over and there will be more stuff coming.
Though I may be misinterpreting the question…
Is that supported by any Android apps or can I only do that via web?
I moved to LMDE 6 when it came out, moving over from regular Mint. It’s so nice and boring… Which is exactly how I like my computer to be.
I have been using LMDE6 with some back ports, it has been working very well so far also with flatpak.
Someone explain, why lmde over Debian?
LMDE essentially is Debian (uses the Debian repos for most of its installed packages), with some Mint packages included on top via the Mint repositories that are also added. Mint actually has some pretty neat graphical utilities and has Flathub configured to work by default with the Software Center.
The real benefit though is if you enjoy using the Cinnamon DE. The latest Cinnamon version is kept up-to-date in LMDE as the Mint team backport it. The Cinnamon version in Debian 12 is fixed and will not get major version updates until the next version of Debian.
As a Debian user myself, I enjoy Mint when I wish to use Debian on the desktop. I only use core Debian for servers.
Thanks for the good explanation, makes sense.
I’ve been using Debian for both servers and desktop for some while, and tbh getting DE updates earlier would be nice without going unstable - but not nice enough to start tinkering around and potentially compromising the stability so I get it
It’s basically an extra layer of polish to make Debian as user-friendly as can be, which while being very pleasant to work with for experienced users, is likely to be particularly appreciated by those who are not particularly technically inclined. As an example, the Mint Software Store is pretty much unmatched as a stable, and extremely user friendly way to manage and install software, with reviews, Flathub integration, screenshots, etc. Where as on standard Debian, the GUI package manager would likely be Aptitude, which is quite a daunting piece of software for the uninitiated.
You could make a vanilla Debian install as user friendly as Mint, but you’d already have to have the skill to get it to that state, where as Mint is ready out of the box.
- Easier installation.
- Mint configuration of desktop settings
- Mint tools (Warpinator, Hypnotix)
In theory, faster updates compared to Debian Stable.
I haven’t compared the repos directly though so I’m not sure what the current differences are specifically.
Having worked with the Mint team directly in the past, I can assure you LMDE is last priority for them without as much polish, as it exists as a backup option in case something happens to Ubuntu. This boils down to Ubuntu vs Debian with some mint userland on top.
I love LMDE. Longtime fan of Mint, and recently changed all my ‘GUI’ machines over to LMDE. I tried pure Debian with Cinnamon, but it wasn’t the same. Mint makes it nicer, and I believe Debian is going to be their main base sooner than later, the way Ubuntu is going.
