Hi guys, tbt I own a Motorola G71 and I’m looking for degoogle it. It’s there any way? Tried the recommended options of universal debloater and didn’t work, get tons of signs of error in the phone
I would first approach this problem by first trying to convert as many apps that you have into a Foss alternative ( you could use this site to find the alternatives: alternativeto.net).
Then if I was comfortable enough I would later on try flashing a custom rom like lineageOS (I would recommend doing this with a second phone if you have one, like a older phone to get used to the OS since it is a bit different and if something happens you have the original phone as a backup).
Then I guess the final step would be to isolate your work apps that aren’t Foss like WhatsApp into a separate environment with an app like shelter.
Edit: Also try to not rely on google services as much as possible by using alternatives like protonmail/tutamail for email and other search engines like startpage, duckduckgo and searX (or searXNG, I do prefer more this one) (searX/XNG instances being the best search engines out there)
If you decide later to test other distros I would highly recommend using a virtual machine in virtualbox. Saves the hassle when it comes to testing distros 👍
I like the idea of nixOS and will definitely try it in the future to see how portable I can make the setup be (hopefully a couple of files that can configure the entire machine)....
I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I...
Like others suggested, lemmy communities and some news sites like HackerNews.
But also some YouTube channels like Mental Outlaw, The Linux experiment and Brodie Robertson (most of them also have Odysee channels if you don’t want to use YouTube). Also Luke Smith (actually he shills a lot of foss software).
Congrats bro! Sadly, the nvidia drivers are proprietary but eventually it might not need to be with the progress we are seeing on NVK. Almost 100 percent libre system poggers 😳
I recently got a couple of POS pc’s (Point of sale) you know the ones that are all in one with a base to sit on a counter. The thing is they’re very old non branded devices, even the label says 2GB DDR2 while it’s actually 4GB DDR3....
I’m planning on moving (back) to Linux from Windows, but I’m not sure which desktop environment I want to use. What’s the easiest way to try them all out? Just do a bunch of dnf/apt installs? Is there a distro or project out there that makes this easier?...
You can install them like any other package from dnf/apt and then run them with startX (if its X11) or start them via their name if they are Wayland compositors (all this in the tty, the black screen with just letter outputs)
I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro....
Linux mint I would say its the one that tends to have better support in a large amount of hardware and it was the first one that I was able to stick with
Getting rid of WhatsApp is the most challenging part for sure, specially because people at work choose to use this platform. Funny enough, signal is basically the same as WhatsApp and easily accessible on the play store but people refuse to use since they are accustomed to WhatsApp and because the illiteracy on these kind of technologies.

What are your thoughts on a possible NixOS without systemd?

Where do you get your information about new software?
I guess I’m becoming a dinosaur, and now I don’t know where to find out about new FOSS stuff being developed, when new releases are out, etc....
