I’m good. But thank you for the tip.

Just posted the video, because I like that she’s quite balanced in her views. The subject matter will always trigger a level of controversy, esp. on lemmy. But the advice is pretty solid.

And if Mint isn’t the answer, go with Ubuntu. Or Zorin OS. Or PopOS. All of them are “right” and provide excellent beginner experiences for many people.

Chromite is on Android?

Usually the same. Except Brave I use Vivaldi.

Android 11 was peak design so far.

IMO.

So… for a clueless person like me - how do I use this?

What would you like to achieve? Would OpenSnitch be of assistance?

Ubuntu as well. I wish I could say OpenSuse…

I agree. OpenSuse should set the standards in this.

Tbf, they really need a designer to upgrade this visually a bit. It exudes its strong “Sys Admin only” vibes a bit much. In my opinion. 🙂

Not really related to the issue. If I understand currently, your device isn’t bricked, but freezes. A bricked device doesn’t boot anymore, a frozen device is unresponsive. Or am I misunderstanding this?

One might argue that people preferng to be alone is a symptom of the problem - if the motivation is to avoid stress and frustration.

On the other hand, if being alone is used in a balanced way as a form of self-care in a noisy world that demands so much of us, it can be healthy.

In the end, I would say, it all depends on whether this solitude feels empowering or isolating.

OpenBoard still works well for me. Including swiping and auto correct.

…or Humble Bundle if they offer the actual software download.

Not if they just offer Steam keys.

In my opinion.

Set off both journalctl -qu gnome-shell and journalctl -qu gnome-settings-daemon. Both return nothing.

Has some decent features. In case anyone is wondering about some features that many phone manufacturers skip these days, this one also misses:

• headphone jack
• long-term OS support (updates are slow and very limited)
• microSD slot
• notification LED
• IP rating
• replaceable battery

This has been mentioned a few times here. Didn’t know that. Thank you.

This “Beginners Guide” they have there is a serious turnoff. They might want to consider a more lightweight and friendly intro to their software. 😄

Still, if I find the time to go through this massive wall of text, I will.

That’s my struggle with this solution as well.

Still, a solid choice.

Not for the faint of heart, but I’ll keep it in mind.

Good tip. Thanks.

I’ve looked at it. It comes up a lot. Thank you.
