the link doesn’t work for me

Works now

you’re not missing on anything. Curve is utter trash

“Warns”? that sounds ominous. I bet they are pretty butthurt about EU gaining a foothold and becoming more and more independent in multiple areas!

Good, get mad China! It only proves we’re doing a good job.

tiktok is cancer!

Sure, yeah, my wording was bad. I meant besides e/os/.

worth adding:

1. whatsapp no longer works and requires attestation
2. Banking apps are a gamble
3. Weird quirks like stuck UI until multitasking is used and others

Look into iodé os also. e/os/ is way to iphone-esque,but iode is sticking to a cleaner approach and also allows bootloader locking, given you pay attention to the security patch versioning “security feature”.

Vance is merely passing Putin’s words as the definitive truth. It’s insanely obvious the current USA administration is a mouthpiece for Russia.

I wonder what Epstein secrets does Putin have on Trump, to make him such a sycophant so that he had to send indirect Russian “help” to autocratic pieces of shit like Orban.

Edit: wording.

if you run Windows 11 on 4GB ram, it’s just to stare at a UI. The ms you click anything, it crashes.

This guy is a joke. USA is no longer a beacon of anything, let alone democracy.

Go back to your continent Vance! no one wants you here!

Yes, it does. i recently installed a bunch on crap and decided I don’t need any of it, so I just rolled back to the snapshot I created manually, before starting the process and my system was simply restored.

Just keep one thing in mind, rolling back automatically makes the filesystem read only so You need to remount.

Learned from America? That’s funny.

This was my take as well, so I ended up with vanilla Void.

i actually ended up installing vanilla Void. I messed it up before with seating and  bash_profiles, but following strictly their documentation, it took me  10 min to get  a fully xdg-portals powered system with plasma.

Truthfully, it’s because I’ve become increasingly lazy lately,but I’ve been looking for a reason to move away from systemd ,as I am not a fan of hard dependencies like that anymore - been using arch for years and am looking to try other init system to sort of break away from monopolies.

You’re right of course,however, I find the Void documentation very lacking TBH and getting a minimal install with plasma and pipewire so what I need.

Edit: thanks for the recommendations. I completely forgot to check distrowatch.

Linus No Tech Tips.

I can’t for the life of me get used to Gnome on my desktop. I tried so many times, but I always get the feeling of using a tablet.

I like the concept, but it’s simply a laptop or tablet centered DE, at best.

i recently went from an iPhone 12 Pro to a Fairphone 6, because reasons. However, good god… The iphone keyboard is atrocious. For anything other than English, it’s like Apple think languages don’t have words in them.

Worst experience I’ve ever had with a soft keyboard was iphone’s. Never again.

Edit: words.

Nothing much. now WhatsApp can’t be installed on any custom Roms. if you installed it a while back, it should still work though.

Whatsapp no longer works on any aosp ROM, even with locked bootloaders. It requires attestation and bootloader lock, so the only way to use it it either with stock ROM, or - like I currently am - with matrix bridge (which pretty much sucks).

I wish I could convince relatives Signal is the same, but better, but they are still on Yahoo and Facebook, so they are a completely lost cause (even my wife doesn’t want to, as she says she already has WhatsApp and that’s enough).

Edit: End rant. You might not even use WhatsApp and then you can be happy. i suggest you install and use the Sapio app to check some of your apps compatibility.

Ah…to be a student at 46. Good times.
