I’m interested in knowing what you guys are using to access this community, whether or not it’s via mobile phone or via laptop or desktop.

If accessing via a laptop or a desktop, what is your OS? Windows, MacOS, or Linux? And if Linux, what distro are you using?

If accessing via a mobile device, you can add in some details about the app you are using or if you’re using it via a mobile browser.

Of course, you guys can add more details.


Just to provide a bit of a background behind the question: I’ve had this preconception that the ones here are among the more technologically-inclined (whatever that means), and thus, I’m curious about the make-up of devices and software used to access and interact with this community.


UPDATE:

As promised, here’s a link to the compiled data (with some rudimentary stats). I will be adding more onto them this weekend (if more replies come in).

First of all, thank you to all who’ve responded. While my preconceptions haven’t been shattered, I’m also pleasantly surprised to find out non-techies, refugees from Reddit, who have jumped in to the Threadiverse despite it all. I dunno if that’s indicative of the dumpster fire that is Reddit right now, or the tenacity of those who’ve sought refuge here. Maybe both.

I will be expanding on my thoughts, and others, on a separate reply.

    The main reason I started this thread is because I want to be proven wrong, dammit! 😂

    But seriously, yeah, parang ang labo na i-introduce ang mga non-techies sa Lemmy. I’d no sooner just ask for their permission and make an account for them than to walk them through the steps.

    And I agree about using Firefox instead of Chrome. Unfortunately, my work requires me to use a Chromium browser (testing and other stuff) so I use Ungoogled Chromium instead.

    How’s Xmonad treating you, btw? I once flirted with the idea of using a tiling window manager for this work account, thinking that the way I use apps/programs could be streamlined using it. I ended up not going through it, however, since, well, tamad ako. Lol!
