Codeberg doesn’t have much compute available for CI runners, and asks that you use the runners they do have sparingly. If you’re into the self-hosting thing, you can run the Forgejo runner, which has the same workflow syntax as GitHub Actions, or you can run something like Woodpecker CI, which has its own workflow syntax. I’ve had better luck running Woodpecker myself and I have it running jobs for all my projects as well as a Renovate bot that runs every hour.

Absolutely, they take their market cap for granted and have been making the user experience worse for years. I’m a pretty technical person so I switched to Linux for fun and software developer clout, but I’m so glad that the Linux desktop experience is getting good enough for everybody. I’ve had mostly an “it just works” experience on the major distros like Mint and Fedora, and honestly even the issues I’ve run into were simple enough to solve with some internet searches.

My condolences for the Windows issues. I hope you have a great time with Mint, that was my first daily-driver Linux distro. These days I seem to have fewer issues running games than my friends running Windows, and I hope it’s the same for you.
