I seldom install windows, so I also have to relearn some things during the debloat. At 10 minutes, you are basically speedrunning the windows installation process lol.

Unfortunatly, that’s the reality of how computers are sold. If customers could try out both windows and Ubuntu at the store before buying and then got the variant with that OS preinstalled, I bet more people might use Linux, especially if they saved money by not paying for a windows license.

I would argue it takes even longer to get a windows install how I like it. Even using Chris Titus Tech’s tool, it probably takes 2 hours for me to install things like winget, steam, librewolf, libreoffice, blender and configure the task bar and lock screen. Not to mention how last time I checked, I could not rebind the windows key to trigger the app overview how I like it.

I don’t think so. The Jellyfin documentation still says it sucks lol.

Pretty good, but you can already waste scammer’s time with Lenny.

The OP6 is already so big that it’s quite the brick with a case. I’m hoping that the people working at Fairphone can get PostmarketOS running reasonably well on their devices considering PostmarketOS aligns pretty well with their goals.

Actually, apparently the pixel3a now has both front and rear camera support, though still in the very early stages. I also like how the pixel3a has a plastic back instead of the glass on the OP6 so it does not shatter if you drop it.

Not much has changed since then. I use Phosh since as beautiful as gnome mobile is, it lacks some functionality.

Yes, it pure linux and is based on Alpine linux often used in Docker Containers. Many supported devices run an upstream kernel instead of the old manufacturer one that comes with android. Android apps can work though waydroid, though I have not used apps that require google play services, though I did get that working on my laptoo.

eyo, another oneplus 6 user! It’s nice having a headphone jack on a phone. I run PostmarketOS on mine for virtually infinite software updates.

Exactly my point. Some of it looks nice like KDE, but the rest is just a mashup of different design languages and philosophies that do not mesh together. The disk utility comes to mind as one that is pretty horrible for how important it is.

Honestly, the way Massgrave works seems less sketchy than random keys from resellers. Massgrave is able to trick Microsoft into giving you a legit license key.

On the desktop, Windows is the majority. This means that many people around us who we care about (friends, family) are going to be using Windows and receiving the problems associated with it. That’s why we (linux users) care when Windows goes to shit.

Much of the security that comes with most linux distros is due to how software is installed. On windows, you typically install random .exe files online and have to put your trust in whoever provided you with the installer. On linux, it’s much more common to use a package manager to install packages, which means you are putting your trust in the package repositories instead, which can be policed by the maintainers who can decline to add suspicious packages.

I’ve used windows 11 once on a mini PC just because that is what was preinstalled and I needed to make sure everything worked. My first impressions of the core UI was actually kinda good except it’s windows, so you know literally none of the apps are going to follow the same design, so it really does not matter. I promptly put OPNsense on the miniPC as soon as I saw the 2 NICs show up in device manager.

Ah yes, but have you tried brewing avocado coffee at home?

Touching grass really is the rizz.

I think waiting on the phone for an hour just to argue with someone to cancel a subscription is reasonable, as long as the signup process also involved waiting on the phone for an hour before an agent tried to talk you out of buying the service.

But if I signed up on a website in 30 seconds, it should take tine or less to unsubscribe on the same website.

A linux-only society. Those using non-free systems (google android, windows, macOS) are expelled.

I generally find that peertube lacks much content but I’ve found a few channels that I am actually interested it. I find that the video quality is usually higher than what youtube gives me, so I use peertube for the few videos a month I can.

Also, I’m replying from a linux phone running postmarketos, a pixel 3a specifically.
