This explains why I had problems logging in since yesterday, usually I browse through a frontend like Alexandrite or use Jerboa on my phone, spent two hours trying to fix it before I gave up and just went to the instance directly.
It does seem extremely odd to upgrade the main instance to 0.19, I wonder if it wasn’t intended. As other users mentions lots of features are still not functional and app support is basically nonexistent for 0.19 because of the amount of breaking changes.

Oh I know exactly the ads your talking about, the setting for that is misleading option that is super easy to miss during setup, Microsoft has been doing that since Windows 10 released and its quite frustrating.
Yes the terminal can be daunting for a beginner, in my first experience with linux was all the way back when Ubuntu was the most popular distro and the only way I got through some of the confusing stuff was from copying and pasting commands from a youtube guide.

Yeah I’m slowly learning most of the terminology and commands, it can be a bit overwhelming at times.
I had the most success with Manjaro but for some reason chunks of it randomly break over time as updates go on, some Arch enthusiast have mentioned to me its because of some weird shenanigans done by the folks who maintain Manjaro’s software distribution, something about updates being held back for “stability” but in the end they end up doing the opposite.
Right now I’m running a Fedora dual boot config with Win11 but keeping the bootloader on a separate drive so Windows doesn’t touch it at all.

Good thing I’ve been learning to use linux for the past couple of years, if they double down on this I’ll switch permanently, just got to find a distro I like because I haven’t been able to find anything that just “works” without eventually having to open the terminal for one reason or another.
