Speaking purely for myself: native clients are ALWAYS preferred and appreciated… however as an indie, I would totally understand not wanting to commit to building one.

As a middle ground you could just accept bug reports from Linux users and do what you can to fix those issues. Aim for a platinum rating on Proton DB

eta: Also, yes, as others have pointed out, this assumes the native client is maintained

Cool! What’s VR on Linux like generally? I’d like to get a headset again, but not if it means going back to Windows

What? I respectfully disagree. The reason I struggled to stay on Pixelfed, and recently Loops too, is because as a new user all I was seeing was classical art, and landscapes (and the odd weirdo) but nothing actually entertaining. Loops at least has people copying stuff from TikTok. I’m not condoning that behaviour, I’m just saying as a casual new user, that was pretty much the most compelling content.

Maybe I was doing it wrong, but IMHO the content creators are the core of any social media. Pixelfed and Loops will both live or die by the creators they attract

ETA: I love weirdos by the way, that wasn’t meant as a negative. If anything, more please!

The best piece of advice I was given, that I seldom see repeated is this: learn how the filesystem is structured.

It makes everything else easier

Unfortunately that’s not going to happen. They’re something people have become accustomed and addicted to. There’s no going back now. The only hope for combating them is to come up with something at least as compelling, but hopefully less harmful. Like vaping is to smoking. What that is though, I have no idea.

And this is why I went back to an iPod classic

Really? Ozzy Osbourne said it was the best cover he’s ever heard…

(fair warning: that’s a xitter link)

I believe if you put an exclamation mark in front of that, it should create a direct link

City Skylines is one of my staples. It runs fine (1, I don’t own 2 yet. Waiting on a hardware upgrade)
