Well, as a Linux user myself, I used to do this kind of thing when I was getting started and was too damn hyped about FOSS and everything. Now, I simply ask people what they want from a computer and how much are they invested into tech.
Do you want things to be as simple as possible? Use Mac or Windows.
Do you want to learn more about how things work under the hood? Use Linux.
Gaming? Use Windows (and yes, although I’m a proud Proton user, some games just won’t work, like Valorant and PUBG).
Snapper also uses btrfs subvolumes to create snapshots, so if you did create them during your installation process, nothing to worry about.
I don’t remember if there is a way to create them after the installation, neither if it’s a tough process tho. I used to simply reinstall when I messed up with the subvolumes.
I’d love to see PeerTube grow just like these platforms, but I think it’s a lot more complicated to get people to use it than mastodon/lemmy.
Twitter/Reddit weren’t used as a major income source like YouTube and Instagram (I am saying this based on famous people in my country, I don’t know how it goes on other places), and so are easier to replace. The people posting and discussing topics don’t do that for the money, they do because they like it.
YT and its monetization system made possible for people to make a living from the content they produce, and many wouldn’t like or simply couldn’t sacrifice this income source just to go to a more ethical and private platform like PeerTube.
Shit Smoke, did the C.R.A.S.H. make you sell us out?
