I’ve been using Silverblue as my main computer for a couple years now and love it. It just always works and is super solid. I layered on distrobox for any other software so I can pretty much run any Linux software ever needed and it’s cleanly organized in containers.
The only reason I got Signal to catch on with friends & family was that it made group chats between Android and iPhone just work for everybody. Although if they had already been using Whatsapp it may have been a harder sell. But Signal was easy to use to figure out.
I would love to only use the computer in tty but would be hard to edit images in GIMP. Or do you still launch GUI apps directly from tty? Most websites are an abomination viewed through lynx or similar.
I’ve listened to every single episode of his podcast for years, bought his books, and honestly his material was kinda life changing for me. Went from using Facebook and Apple ID everything to using Graphene OS, Linux, got friends and family using Signal, masked cards, VOIP numbers, etc. I’m sad to see it go but I understand sometimes it’s time for new chapters in life and wish him well. Maybe one day someone else on staff can create some new episodes.
Yes. The Magsafe connector on MacBooks has a very reassuring snap and feels solid and durable. And the color coded light indicating whether it is charging or fully charged is very satisfying.
