The KDE spin has x11, KDE is my go to DE everytime. So assumed that layer I guess.

But Fedora is upstream of Alpine, right?

Heck ya to Fedora, glad to see it recommended for a first time user. It’s not much more difficult than Mint, but you can also get into the weeds instead of having to find a new distro after Mint. Mint basically has permanent training wheels, while with Fedora you can pop em off whenever it’s convient.

Edit: Fedora is also a more up to date Alpine and it’s not directly controlled by Red Hat.

Just going off how things are setup in the KDE spin, the tracker is what allows you to search and find files on the machine. Disabling it would most likely make it tough to find files. But I’m not familiar with gnome just to be clear. I’d say report it and hopefully someone else can provide better detail.

Cryptpad.fr is a fantastic full replacement for Google Office Suite. Open sourced, encrypted, but only comes with 1GB of storage on the free plan. You can pay to add more and its reasonably priced. It provides excell, powerpoint, and word. I like using board.net at times too. It’s FOSS as well but only provides a word equivalent. A little more straight forward in my experience for others.

According to GPU Check, the RX570 was able to run games at 1080p and 144 Hz on a 24" ViewSonic XG240R gaming monitor. While not 180Hz, it’s comparable. The RX570 has recommended resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1440, or 3840x2160 as well. It seems like it’s a solid choice based on your needs and isn’t insanely expensive either.

There’s some work going on currently to allow the previous Reddit third party apps to connect to Lemmy instead of Reddit. This should allow you to use Shine for Lemmy in the near future.
