Fedora KDE it is. I'll make a list of macOS apps I use regularly, and then will see how I can replicate some of it.
And I'm fully expecting the experience to differ a lot, and want to lean into that.

I ended up installing Bazzite (Fedora KDE) on one of the SSDs on my Gaming PC and… why do I like this more than Windows 11 and macOS combined?
It's probably because it's all new and I haven't broken anything yet (except the elgato Wave XLR), but so far I like it here.

I don't know who has to write this stuff (I feel for you), but I'm about to kick Kotaku out of my RSS reader because their deal posts are fucking obnoxious. That shit is making me develop a nut allergy!

I'm in the process of removing ads from @overkill.wtf. There's a 30-day grace period before everything's fully gone.
Once monetization's off, I can finally drop my spiciest takes without anyone calling it clickbait.
Like, for example: I don't actually like the Steam Deck that much.

The thing is, once you start messing with self-hosted apps, you want to host everything and anything. Or at least, I do.
Anyway, what cool self-hosted apps are out there that might not be obvious?
