After using Arch Linux and Manjaro Linux for years I just figured out, that I download a lot of software only to update my system. It was...

I want to find the most sustainable operating system, because computers nowadays waste a lot of energy, because of data collection and data processing. Avoiding unnecessary processes and using resources in a mindful way could reduce the CO2 output on the whole world.

This discussion grew very fast and I put all links to other platforms in the end of the blog article.

      Sorry, I use lemmy the first time and really don’t know how all of this works, especially stuff I thought it will work (because I thought it was the intuitive way), but it doesn’t, like why is there not a reference to the original comment section instead of creating a completely new comment section? But I already posted this question on the git issue page: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/758

      How to cross-post this on !solarpunk@slrpnk.net ? If I put “!solarpunk@slrpnk.net” in the cross-post link field it only says “No results found”.

      Would be so nice if you can tell me how this works so I can do it right. :)

        First you gotta subscribe to its community, follow this link

        https://lemmy.ml/c/hardware@slrpnk.net

        The previous link I sent you (!solarpunk@slrpnk.net) is for general solar punk theory, but hardware communty is more precise for your question

        then in cross post dialogue you search for “slrpnk.net”

        done

        Overall, if you’re interested in all solar punk related, I recommend exploring their communities and posts by going directly to slrpnk.net

          hmmm… it doesn’t work. After I subscribed to the channel I tried to cross-post it, but after I typed slrpnk.net in the field only 3 groups popped up: Anarchism, Green - an environmentalist commuity, Solar Punk

          And all groups might be on this instance.

            the federation is probably too slow. it takes some time to download the content from one instance to another. oh well. For now could you copy paste and post this thread via “create post” on the community’s page?

              I think it worked, because you already reacted to it. How can you be so fast? Do you get notifications to subscribed groups?
