We can’t even get widespread adoption on workstations, what are the chances we’ll ever get them on mobile?
It’s all the same problems. There aren’t nearly enough people using it for developers to spend their time developing compatible versions of their software, much less ones with a mobile-friendly interface.
Maybe they’ll work with PWAs but those still suck.
I couldn’t possibly recommend it to anyone who is not a programmer. It doesn’t work for shit. The simplest and most basic things like just installing software is nigh-impossible for normies.
Hopefully when RISCv gets there it won’t be so bad.
Now that manufacturers are getting called out for it they tend to follow the support cycle upstream. Now, much of it falls on the chip makers, Qualcomm specifically supports chips for 5 years iirc (and 8 years for their industrial chips).
If the manufacturers can achieve vertical integration, like Apple has, with RISCv I think we’ll see a lot more mainlined support from them.
Unfortunately that’s moistly on maufacters. If they don’t release the kernel LOS can’t do anything. Also depending on the phone it might take a while till someone picks the phone and decides to support it. Laptops do have compatibility options. But I get what your saying, it is annoying but what did you expect from such organization?
It would be awesome if we could just install whatever like we can on pcs. On phones you still need a developer to make a specific rom for that device, we were close with Generic System Images (GSIs), but I don’t think they really went anywhere
I second the recommendation for lineage OS. I’ve been using it since 2011 with my Nexus S (when it was Cyanogen). Works, defaults to de-googled, but easy to install gapps at the same time (follow instructions because it needs to be done before first boot).
I’ll never run a stock ROM again if I can help it, and so far…
Is your laptop, by any chance, an HP? I had the same issue with wifi and finally, after about a year of frustration, found the solution HERE. To save a click, here’s the part that worked for me, with the disclaimer that I don’t honestly know how this works, but by the time I found it I was frustrated enough to run random code from the internet with sudo privileges on my main machine:
I use the integrated sidebar, that comes with Firefox for viewing my pinned tabs. But it can only do that in this case and I’m assuming the sidebar on brave and Vivaldi can do more?
Yeah, thanks for the help even if you don't know much. I get stuck on the first command where I get this error:
rmmod: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:799 kmod_module_remove_module() could not remove 'iwlmvm': Operation not permitted
rmmod: ERROR: could not remove module iwlmvm: Operation not permitted
rmmod: ERROR: Module iwlwifi is in use by: iwlmvm
modprobe: FATAL: Error running remove command for iwlwifi
the UI could be improved (I always end up hovering for tooltips on controls) but it works really well.
I also like that tabs will stay in the stash by default on close, so its great for opening a bunch of reference sites really quickly without worrying about losing them
Closest thing to the old firefox experiment from a few years back.
Know that you’ll probably hate what you try first. Personally I say you shouldn’t use Pop_OS!, but its better than being scared of making a wrong choice. “distrohopping” is a great way to learn.
EDIT: on closer look, it's not much of a solution. I assume you've tried restarting the network service and that doesn't work either? Possibly you could automate the airplane mode key twice by triggering that after waking from suspend....
I was impressed by how streamlined and intuitive EndeavorOS (with Plasma) is out of the box when I threw it on a friend’s computer. Will probably switch to it myself shortly.
i dislike horizontal tabs, so i go with sidebery / tree-style-tabs. also use a lot of pinned tabs and they sit on top of the list of tabs. this way i can have ~10 pinned tabs and still remember what all of these are.
"The browser chrome" is the name historically given to the parts of the browser that are not the website. Then Google created a web browser and decided to name it after it - but userChrome.css existed before the browser Chrome did :)
KDE is the best desktop environment, period. Why not go with a stable OS base but enjoy all the current updates of your desktop, app suite? Introduction: KDE Neon
