I’m sick of windows, but maybe I should just not risk messing with operating systems I don’t understand? (Also I really hope those screenshots don’t doxx me or something)

It's a little learning curve, but don't give up - I'm happy to see that you aren't! Your understanding is already increasing step by step, and you'll feel a lot of satisfaction because of this too 💪🚀

My bad! Will delete my comment

I can agree, but could say the same of the others or of other answers. Viewer count may be very different in different countries too. My rule of thumb for "obscure" is: something I mentioned to acquaintances that they'd never heard of.

The problem is that the whole apt system seems to be broken. It doesn't let me install other packages, and I can't even uninstall wine. So I wonder if any fixes from wine will work. It looks like this needs the user's manual intervention.

$ sudo apt upgrade 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 10.2~focal-2) but 10.2~focal-1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
$ sudo apt remove wine-staging-amd64

 wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 10.2~focal-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

but sudo apt --fix-broken install does not solve anything...

On top of that, the actual results are behind a paywall and can be very iffy. It sounds like there were only 12 people in the 6-hour group and in each of the other groups. And no indications about other traits like sex, smoking or other habits, and so on. Too small numbers to guarantee against statistical fluctuations. And the "significant" in the abstract may indicate that they used p-values to quantify their results, which are today considered iffy by a large chunk of the statistics community...

It's reached 333 protesters! that's 1/3 of the way to 1000, it'd be cool if it kept on increasing :)

Thank you for the great help, I hope it'll be useful to others too :)

It has helped me invaluably, thank you!

By the way, the "trigger search" button at the moment leads to a search with text

community[!community@instance.etc](/c/community@instance.etc)

but the first community should be dropped. OK this is not the place for tracking issues, sorry!

Thank you for such a thorough and informative answer! And for sharing your user experience too. I had not heard about GnomeOS. As soon as I have some days to experiment, I'll give Neon a try.

Thank you for the info. From what I understand, one only sees up/downvotes from one's own instance (lemmy.ca in my case). When I posted it I saw it going down to -3 in a couple of minutes, so I was wondering if my question was really dumb...

I got lots of great advice in this post!

I'll delete my edit :)

Thank you, very helpful! May I ask what you use now? Do you know if they add their software via snaps or flatpaks?

Very helpful, thank you so much!
