I was just wondering what everyone thought of "free hosted forums"? Are they actually worthwhile, or is it always better to invest in hosting and do it yourself?
My update. Didn't see much point in the top panel since global menu isn't there, so going with a win/kde layout now. Overall, I would say Gnome is a disappointment - it's been 15 years and you still have to rely on a bunch of extensions to get anything useful out of it. At the same time, the way Universal Blue / Bluefin is approaching the desktop feels like what Ubuntu should have started doing five years ago (no wonder the guy I learned about this from used to work for Canonical). Maybe I should have gone with Aurora (the KDE variant), or Bazzite with KDE, but I think I have Gnome where it works for me now.
GOG Galaxy offers connecting of other launchers into theirs. And while idea is interesting, I always had issues with Steam that would just lose connection and just not work. Which was annoying.
I remember that during the earlier development of Windows 10 a big deal was made about the Recycle Bin icon(s).

After having watched everything else Nathan has done recently and really enjoyed, (including The Curse) I started watching Nathan For You (as I did not see that back in the day) only on S1, E2 but I think it is silly?
It is like he is taking the p*ss out of people he is supposedly helping. 🤷♂️
I hope it gets better.
But I wonder if anyone who has watched it can chime in.
I know a lot of the premise and circumstance is ridiculous, but I kind of hoped he was actually helping people in a constructive way other than getting your frozen yoghurt shop know for that place that had a "poo flavor".

Here are some examples of what i'm talking about:
http://www.forumer.com/
http://invisionfree.com/
http://www.proboards.com/index.html
http://www.iforumer.com/
In fact, Paint.NET uses Forumer for their forums, and they seem to be doing ok? http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/index.php
Thoughts?
Cheers :)
