Yea, I did not phrase it well enough 😂 I just don’t want to be supervised by these large phone OS giants, because they think it is more convenient

What do you mean with QEMU? Are you running a Linux VM on your android phone?

Something like this, I guess

😏I see what you did there, myriad is awesome

I’m thinking about crafting a phone out if a raspberry compute module (so I can upgrade my device easy with new computing modules released)

I want to add a battery, a modem, a touchscreen and a usb-PD port with video out compatibility

Maybe a little cam to scan documents as well…

They just use really low spec hardware…

I would pay more than 1000$ at this point for a modern high DPI open device with mobile internet compatibility and all drivers in mainline kernel. Just give me good hardware, I can handle the software on my on, tank you 🤭

Best job with auto driver configuration (etc.) on most machines did endeavourOS for me. Just make sure to choose the correct vulcan / mesa packages while installing steam

I generally install steam as one of the first apps on most machines in order to get all the GPU dependencies sorted.

You have to add the source with the non free codec packages:

As soon as you have to enable a a deamon/service, you have to interact with systemd. Systemctl is the command that is used for that (with option enable, disable, start, stop and restart)

Some programs require you to enable such a service, in order that they work, but would not talk about systemd while explaining install of xyz, more like “enable xyz: sudo systemctl enable xyz”.

I recommend to installed starship, fish and ZSH. I just tried them recently with config files from a friend and am pleasantly surprised:

I mean, it is true, but, who said otherwise?

They were talking about translating layer, which would be correct, wouldn’t it.

The features would break if they were built in.

GNOME has clear philosophy and they work for themselves, not for you so they decide what features they care to invest time and what features they don’t care about.

Having a standardised method for plugins is in my opinion good enough, nobody forces you to use extensions. And if you don’t want extensions to break, then wait till the extensions are ready prior updating GNOME.

What is the difference between adding a extension and enabling a setting other than that a disabled feature is just bloat?

I mean any distro can serve the extension it wants

Yea, hoarders and seeders are cultural heroes, to me
