    The fdroid repos can get kinda outdated. But in my personal experience, the app has shown no issues. I guess being compliant with the tirrent protocols is all that matters for it to work.

    There isnt much to say about how to use it. Just install the app, search for a torrent you want to download (be it via a magnet link, or a .torrent file) and thats it.










  • But that’s why I said we should improve upon these alternatives tho, they are certainly not perfect and I never said they could replace Windows software currently

    Today’s reality is that most people (aka everyone) depends on these proprietary piece of software that are not avaiable on Linux, Adobe’s and Microsoft’s being the main ones.

    But I believe that by focusing on improving and showing people that these alternatives exists and can be useable would help them slowly migrate to our open platforms, maybe even making proprietary software be ported to Linux.

    When it comes to production software, THATS what we need, native Linux apps, and WINE does not solve that issue, so seeing it as a possible solution for running your production software (like Office 2021) will unsurprisingly cause days of fixing your stuff, while native Linux apps on the other hand, GIMP, Libreoffice, Inkscape, all work out of the box

    A good portion of the “drama” comes from drivers issues, which are hit or miss within Linux distros. Your hardware can only work on boot or make you cry in pain while trying to compile them 😅 But when the hardware works, all you need to do is get used to the open source ecosystem! Wish you the best in your desktop Linux journey 🙂
