Only one who wrote about it was the one who went self-hosted, the rest didn’t talk about it. I would guess it ended up being the final straw, like “why direct people to X to back me instead of just promoting myself where they see me.” Especially if, as you say, the cut was so similar.

7 out of 9, yes, one went to self-hosted, another left in favor of youtube directly, the rest in favor of twitch. The last two I follow on Patreon (Techmoan and My Mate Vince) just sorta rolled past the whole thing.

Too little, too late. I only know 2 creators that I supported who stayed through all this. Most quit patreon when it was announced… this is hardly the worst of the fees they charge people.

I liked the drill attachment ones, I might get one next time. Thanks for checking them out, and the feedback :)

Oh for sure, I am doing them just for the fun of putting more out there. I’m a fan of the genre, I find repairing things to be very punk. Makes me happy to see something broken/useless/damaged/worn become useful and productive again.

Such an awesome editor, I use it regularly to make little repair videos.

I say this to be fair, since I’ve used Debian since almost the very beginning: Debian is a bit more complicated to set up.

I generally find when people ask me for help, they’re either on Ubuntu or on Fedora (in which case I direct them to someone else for help). Sometimes they’re gamers or using something where Debian + tweaks is ideal, but often I just help them configure Debian, or just help them get their Ubuntu where they want it.

I don’t know, this was for a system on kubuntu 24.04, the latest up there. I removed it, replaced it with debian and kde - my friend isn’t a gamer, doesn’t require anything bleeding edge, so that was just a better choice in our opinion.

Only tangentially related - but a friend brought over a new kubuntu install and Canonical had the cheek to demand money for VLC patches? They don’t fing own VLC. What the actual f is going on over there, Canonical?

I just recently de-snapped yet another ubuntu system. Couldn’t agree more. I use debian standard for all of my stuff, and I agree with your ranking.

KDE. I’ve been using it as my daily driver for roughly 10 years now, and barring any unforeseen excitement, it’ll stay that way indefinitely. Proably until I stop using Linux, anyhow.
