r/cth was originally a subreddit for the podcast Chapo Trap House, but it eventually bloomed into a general-purpose leftist space. IIRC, the sub was around 160k members at its peak and had a distinct posting culture.
It was quarantined by Reddit for violent speech after calling for the death of slave owners and later banned for no particular reason at the same time as r/the_donald, presumably as a “both sides” sort of thing.
Hexbear is an instance formed mostly by former r/chapotraphouse users after that sub was banned from Reddit a few years ago. Hexbear used to run on a custom fork of Lemmy so that the community could add extra features that they wanted (like custom emoji) but it was recently ported back to mainline Lemmy after merging or reimplementing as many changes as possible.
Currently, Hexbear does not have federation enabled, and there is discussion about who to federate with or even whether to federate at all. The community is very active and self-sufficient and some members prefer the isolation.
Content-wise, it’s a leftist-focused instance. Some shitposts, some serious posts, and a lot of inside jokes.
I have to shout out Wiby. It is focused on like weird personal websites from the early 2000s, that kind of thing. Absolutely not a general-purpose search engine, but mashing the “surprise me” button will take you to all sorts of fun places.
Lemmygrad is a Marxism-focused instance and Hexbear is currently making the migration to mainline Lemmy right now.

I’ve toyed around with OpenShot for basic usage but I generally prefer kdenlive. It doesn’t require a bunch of KDE dependencies though so that’s something to consider.
Checking every possible case with a computer doesn’t give any great insight into mathematics, but proof by exhaustion is as valid a method as any other.
If you wanna go full gnome2, try Raleigh Reloaded
I’ve tried this out before instead settling on Liferea for a time. The two applications are very similar, except that Liferea is GTK rather than Qt-based. I’d definitely recommend whichever one fits better in your environment if you’re looking for a graphical RSS reader.
Nowadays, I mostly use Emacs’s Elfeed for RSS as one part of Emacs’s slow conquest of other programs on my computer.
The reason that Doom is so portable goes beyond Linux and is an artefact of its development. id developed Doom on NeXTSTEP (i.e. Unix) machines and obviously targeted DOS. This is pretty unique among DOS games at the time and required id to write as much code as possible in a platform agnostic way. This means that the main engine does not care about where it is running and the usual DOS hacks are contained to DOS-specific files. In order to port Doom to a new platform, ideally one only needs to rewrite the system-specific implementation files for video, sound, filesystem access, etc., and this mostly holds true today. (These files are prefixed with
i_in the Doom source).The Linux port is just one of many versions developed at the time. I don’t believe that it was commercially released; it was more of a portability test. The reason that the Linux version was chosen for the source release over the DOS version was because it didn’t rely on the proprietary DMX sound library that the DOS port used.
