Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Used/refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad on eBay is worth looking into. Splurge on an X1 Carbon if you have the means. They're built to last so buying a few generations back is a good way to stretch funds. I'm running Mint on one and it's been a breeze. The build quality is hella premium and everything works.
Thanks, I don't mind splashing some cash and it's not THAT much, I'll use it for years. Unfortunately stupid China requires Windows 11 Home with Copilot installed (puke) AI says Fedora or Ubuntu works well. After Spring Festival is over I'll see about finding a local Lenovo dealer and wipe the preinstall out without even booting it and get them to install lee-nucks. As long as pinyin input works there isn't really much Windows software other than Photoshop and Office I need. I gave up on Baidu netdisk after it installed video and photo viewing software without asking and reset my file associations to use their crap instead of VLC.
Fedora Workstation with GNOME does pinyin input well.
I really like my Thinkpad X1 Yoga because I like having a pen digitizer on a laptop, and it works very smoothly with Linux. Libreoffice works identically to how MSOffice used to work, which is better than how it works now.
Cool. I wish you luck. With a local dealer maybe you can score a good deal on a refurb with hardware warranty still intact.
I'm Fedora-curious and look forward to trying it out when I have more free time.
