Super sorry for not seeing this sooner! I've been gone for awhile but also somehow missed this when it was posted! Didn't know about that with TeamSpeak! I'll have to look into that! I didn't really look much into paid TS, but as I was exploring it I did notice the restrictions with self-hosting...

I've been gone for a bit but I also for some reason didn't see this message when it was posted! Super sorry about that! TwT;; My main issue with telegram is that I don't like it being tied to my irl phone... That level of access is a bit unsettling to me... >~<;;

Been pretty absent lately, but also not sure how I missed this message! Actually was looking into XMPP recently. I'm definitely more in favor of moving to a protocol over a platform, but wasn't sure if it actually had support for video calls. Thanks for the suggestion! ^^

Oooh this is very cute! Always love this style of animation! Was this primarily just done by using a liquify tool (or equivalent)? I've always been curious what methods artists use for this!

These are just my thoughts after doing cursory research and testing over the week. Many people may just opt to try to get around the age verification, but I'm also concerned about Discord scraping private data from DMs and servers. Let me know if you guys have any other suggestions or plans!

110

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

[Teamspeak] Not open source, but does allow for self-hosting. TS has developed a lot over the years. If your main priority is voice chat and gaming as a group, TS might be a decent solution. Like Matrix, running your own server does require some effort or money, but it's way easier than Matrix.

110

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

[Matrix Cont.] The downside is that it doesn't seem convenient to spin up your own servers. From my understanding, creating a Matrix server isn't as simple (or cheap) as clicking "Create New Server" in Discord. This will be a huge turnoff for the average user.

120

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

[Matrix] Matrix is not a platform, but a protocol. This means that, as far as I'm aware, anyone is free to develop their own apps around it. This allows for different people to offer different options rather than one company (Discord) ruining it for everyone. Matrix is also big on security.

110

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

[Stoat Cont.] Stoat is also a very young platform and is missing some QoL features that users may expect. Discord had a similar start when Skype fell out of favor. While this may seem nostalgic to some people, it's more "deja vu" to me: what happens if Stoat follows Discord's footsteps?

110

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

[Stoat Cont.] If Stoat centralizes accounts and a user is banned for TOS violation, would they still be able to access their self-hosted server? TOS can change, and being banned for a TOS violation isn't always black and white (Discord once banned a user who made a bot to detect predators)

120

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

[Stoat] I've eyed Stoat/Revolt, but I have some concerns with self-hosting. Stoat is UK-based, which requires them to be in compliance with UK age verification laws. Likewise, and I may be wrong about this, it appears that Stoat centralizes accounts, which means you must comply with their TOS.

120

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

Any experience in the world of cybersecurity will teach you that "convenience" and "privacy" are two ends of a slider. Many people are going to prioritize convenience, and I don't blame them. I'm generally looking to prioritize privacy through self-hosting and open source alternatives.

120

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

I planned to address the Discord news as soon as it was announced but I've been crazy busy lately I do not intend to stick around on Discord much longer. As hard as it is, I don't recommend you do either. I would not give Discord ANY personal information. As for where to go, I'm still deciding

Krita's native linux build seemed to work fine, so that also ruled out driver issues. I played around with some config stuff in Bottles thinking maybe it was a performance thing, but nothing seemed to affect it.

010

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Yeah truthfully I'm not sure what causes the problem. My theory is it's actually not drivers, but rather something related to running it through Wine. I tried no drivers, various XP-Pen official drivers, and OpenTabletDrivers and all had the same result: jagged lines when using slow strokes

110

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

In case bsky compresses the crap out of the instructions: Go to File > Preferences Uncheck "Use Mouse Mode in Tablet Driver Settings" Check "Set tablet operation area with application" Select "Run on All Monitors" Select "Operate with Whole Tablet"

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

-- CSP on Linux Update -- After using CSP on Linux through Bottles for a few prolonged sessions I noticed that slow brush strokes with low stabilizer were appearing really jagged I messed with some settings that seem to work as of right now. Will continue to update if any developments occur!

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Hopefully it works well for ya! ^^ One other hiccup I noticed is that I do need to have my tablet turned on before I open CSP, otherwise it doesn't seem to detect it correctly. I may have also needed to re-plug it in. But once it detects it, everything seems to work fine!

Algunos juegos no funcionan, pero puedas comprobar la compatibilidad de ProtonDB (www.protondb.com) Si quieras una recomendación de una versión de Linux para usar, yo uso Linux Mint. Es familiar para Windows

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Mi opinión honesta es: depende de tu caso de uso! Si usas tu computadora para jugar juegos y navegar por internet la experiencia es genial! Pero, si usas software profesional, la experiencia es incierto... Te recomiendo instalarlo en una computadora antiguo que no sea importante para ver si te gusta

110

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Oh I forgot to mention: I also can't seem to open files by double-clicking on them. CSP gives me an error saying it can't find the file. I can still open them through the File menu or by dragging them into CSP though, so it's not a huge deal

010

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

I also finally figured out why my tablet (XP-Pen Artist Pro 15.6) was leaving big fat dots on my canvas randomly: Turns out the buttons on my pen were phantom-clicking. I opened the pen up, took the plastic button piece and flipped it around. Seems to have helped!

110

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

I also have had situations where my lines were a tiny bit scraggly, but that also might be a driver issue. Hard to tell! Only really notice it when using brushes with 0 stabilizer. In summary: If you're trying to get CSP on Linux, I would use Bottles, and *not* Lutris.

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Update on CSP for Linux! I was able to get it working pretty well following this tutorial: github.com/pomcomic/CSP-on-Linux Credit to @/pomcomic.bsky.social Only issue I've had so far is my tablet's scroll wheel is a bit weird when trying to change brush size, but that might be a driver issue

I've run into a few minor bugs, but overall the experience is still smooth! It's at the point where I don't consciously notice that I'm on a different OS -- it's just my computer to me. It also solved the issues I had with my PC waking itself up and the "Update and Shutdown" bug on Win10 @w@;;

010

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

I think I've heard some people say they had trouble getting CSP to work with Proton, but I can definitely look more into it! It's certainly worth a try! :) Thank you!

000

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

For the moment I'm just dual booting into Windows for a couple of specifics: a couple games and now CSP. I've used Krita before and it's pretty good (I know some amazing artists who use it, too!) but it definitely lacks some of the bells and whistles of CSP... I'll let ya know how Bottles goes! ^^

Gonna try running it through Bottles but it's all Wine under the hood so I'm not very hopeful! Just wanted to be real with y'all about the hurdles I've run into All that to say, I'm still very happy with Linux! My PC feels like it runs way more efficiently, and doesn't sound like it's trying to die

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Update on the switch to Linux: Still going strong! Still enjoying the experience overall! I did want to mention that I tried actually drawing with CSP through Lutris and it is not a very good experience. My cursor kept flickering between the grab tool and my pen, and a few other annoying hiccups.

Yeah Immich is a good replacement for Google photos! I'd recommend it. ^^ Oh gosh, yeah. I can't even imagine. After I heard that Google records decades of voice calls from your device I got increasingly paranoid about what data they get from the other components of my devices without my knowledge.

I've been big into setting up alternatives on my home server for all of the SaaS stuff I'd been using. It's a bit pricey to start, but it's been great so far! Some alternatives aren't there yet, but the ones that are have been wonderful! I've gotten a lot of use out of Immich (photos) and Plex!

How difficult was the move from distro to distro? As a programmer, I was eyeing CachyOS/Arch but I ended up going with Mint to test-drive it for friends/family who were interested in switching. I might try something else on my laptop though! ^^ How was Manjaro?

100

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

I'm also hopeful that the Steam Machine might push companies to take Linux desktop seriously. I'm concerned for their pricing, but with the market the way it is they might not be able to help it. I'm just ready to take back my own hardware. I'm sick of relying on companies that don't care about me

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

The UE issue may be due to GPU drivers... It's hard to say; the only other time I've used UE4 on Linux was on my 2011 laptop w/ an intel igpu. Didn't work too well as you can imagine, haha! Affinity having native Linux support would be huge. I'm surprised they didn't push for that, honestly!

KC @floppyearfreak.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

💚 I'm definitely down to try other distros sometime down the line, but right now Mint has been very comfortable!
