adam_b,

Why not Manjaro ?

adam_b,

I thought if you wanna learn about Linux, you should start for scratch ?

adam_b,

I’m guessing this nuked your nvidia drivers… lol

Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

adam_b,

You can read about why GrapheneOS support pixels only, from that you can guess that other phones lack some or most of these features

grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices

Also it depends on the OS, for example DivestOS maintains a web page of all the poor security measures in /e/OS

Also see CalyxOS vs GrapheneOS

In the end, choosing which project to use can be difficult just because of politics between the communities of these projects, saying a certain project is unsecure can get people using that project defensive, so keep that in mind

For best privacy AND security, Pixel 8 or 8 Pro

I agree, but OP said

I’m not going to affiliate with any conglomerate

So, my other pick is Fairphone, actually after this discussion with this lovely Lemmy user, it’s probably my next phone

adam_b,

The verified feature on flathub is a double edged sword, it makes me lean towards verified apps, even if the alternative is better and made by the original Dev ( but they just didn’t verify themselves )

Next up is user rating and comments…

adam_b,

Umatrix is discontinued, it’s made by the same guy who made Ublock btw

adam_b,

Wished they dropped this on the 13th 👀

adam_b,

Giga and Frogster looks nice

I always lean to logos that also has the name of the company in them, but that’s my personal preference

What do you think about this? (www.youtube.com)

Since i see so much linux talk on lemmy i got curious and watched a video about the common distros. How true is the information in this video? The person hardly describes why debian and arch are just better than every other distro. At least i’m definitely now curious about Mint or something for gaming.

adam_b,

“People get upset, especially when its an honest tier list”

Makes me question, how “honest” it really is

A few moments later

seems like a purist to me, liking only Arch + Debian

But I agree with this man’s take

adam_b,

i like bluesky mostly because it’s the most like early twitter.

In which way ?

adam_b,

You might wanna take a look at this ( haven’t read it yet )

adam_b, (edited )

The Redox Dev is working for System76, I think he discussed this on Techovertea episode

Edit: or maybe Brodie did a video about it, I’m not sure since he hosts that podcast as well

adam_b,

I tried it earlier today, I disabled YT and I’m using it only for Odysee, and to watch FUTO talks on Peertube, Odysee official app is garbage ( like pay to customize the side menu, seriously ? ), and their website is filled with trackers and JS bloat ( sad that librarian got discontinued ), and Peertube situation isn’t any better, no app at all…

Grayjay let’s me use both websites without their drawbacks… Awesome project and I will donate whenever I can

adam_b,

It’s also nice they still support older cards like 1000 series, don’t know how well these work on Wayland ?
