@itsfoss I'm still somehow missing the understanding of DE on Linux and it's correlation to distros.
Are all DE independent of distros usable? Which are coming/originate from a(which) distro? Are DE different depending on which distro they run? DE seem to me to be more important for a beginner Linux user than the distro itself. I also prefer to install/add software after I installed a "bare minimum" OS. I would like to have a table comparing distros with there integrated parts. Linux kernel main

@feditips @manyver_se there seem to be many similarities. If I set up my own mastodon instance where only my once account is set up, it kind of feels like the described distributed network. What are the disadvantages between federated and distributed? Could there be some kind of hybrid system?

@feditips @manyver_se I thought mastodon is already a distributed social network? (Social network vs social media? ) whatever, thanks for mentioning it. I will check it out.

@feditips choosing a server should just be an option I can set and change whenever I would like. I'm thinking about a local hub that will sync to the chosen server. Probably it's best, just to run its own mastodon instance anyways.

@feditips ideally it should only be an option to freely choose whenever you want. Or is the idea I might have in mind just to create an instance of mastodon just for myself? I always think about a local profile hub that is able to connect to whatever is wanted.

@fsf thanks for helping me discover KOReader and other free software so I can be more free. Projects that help one to get more freedom with their devices are awesome.
