Use something other than gnome and, while you’re at it, you might as well use something other than ubuntu.

KDE is very hard to break, you can go wild with customization there.

I use SmartTube on my android TV and it’s great. If you can find an android TV box that doesn’t come with malware preinstalled or get android running on the pi, I highly recommend it.

Looks great, but I get a lot of SSL errors without real tine downloading and one every 5 or so songs with it.

It’ll take a week or two to download 3000 songs, but running it periodically after that should be fine.

The people who make a /s like this necessary should be banned from the internet for a month at a time.

But that’s how politics work nowadays. You need to assume that every group is homogenous and when someone from that group points out that it isn’t, you call them a hypocrite.

I missed that, thanks for pointing it out. The one without S is the correct one.

But that makes me wonder, how did OP not end up with two signal apps then?

The package name is correct, but signal was never on F-droid.

Do you have a third party repo that might be compromised?

Edit: Package name isn’t correct, so that’s almost definitely a compromised version. Get rid of it ASAP.

Classic microsoft move.

Linux has gotten great over the years and keeps improving while windows gets worse and worse every day. This has been going on for many years now.

I switched already and suggest you give it a shot as well. It’s honestly much easier than windows if you know the basics and understand how things are done there.

VScode is the epitome of the EEE strategy. The core product is open-source, but it’s filled to the brim with tracking and the official extensions have DRM. Yes, there’s DRM on your python LSP.

Anyone who gives a shit should look for alternatives right away. The problem is just that there aren’t any that are as easy to set up.

People who preorder a phone are out of their fucking mind, simple as that.

Gulikit makes controllers with hall effect joysticks that are immune to stick drift. I don’t have one of those, but I have their hall effect joysticks for the steam deck and they’re very nice.

Because cold water isn’t free. If you want to create something cold, you want to be using a conpressor and at that point, you can just skip the water step and use an AC.

Make absolutely sure that you’re not touching the ubuntu partition while getting rid of windows.

A backup of at least your home directory is recommended.

Then just remove the windows partition from ubuntu and install garuda to it as usual. You’ll probably need to use grub-mkconfig after installation to make sure grub shows both ubuntu and garuda. The arch wiki has a good guide on that.

Back in the day when mobile data was multiple euros per megabyte, I had an ipod 4G as my first ‘smartphone’. The UI was unbelievably smooth for the time but I found the OS very limited, so I jailbroke it and tinkered a lot with it. After the release of the iphone 6, apple shipped an update to my ipod that made it super slow. Most games that would run perfectly before became unplayable over night.

That day I made a decision to not buy or recommend any apple devices. Android was great back then, so I never looked back.

A couple of months ago, my dad got an iphone for work and after playing around with it for 20 minutes, I wondered how anyone uses this. The UI is very slow and glitchy compared to my oneplus 8 (which is a 3 year old phone at this point) even when I switch my phone to 60hz to make it fair.

It always just seemed like I’m fighting against the system. Never did I have that “it just works” moment, until I’ve got my first Android, and realize I have the freedom to do whatever I want with it, and I can install what I want, and if there’s a problem, I can look things up and fix it myself.

I very much agree with that statement and find myself in the exact same position with windows, so I’ve switched to linux. It’s genuinely incredible how much better it is after gaining a few dozen hours of experience with it.

Keyboards are generally known about, but the ergo part of it is a rabbit hole within the rabbit hole. Some people literally design, 3D print, wire up, solder and program one-off keyboards because they don’t like the ones made by other people.

With that mindset, nothing will ever get accomplished. As Louis Rossmann often says: We, the people, are who can change the culture and that’s what matters most.

Now all we can do is convince as many people as we can to use firefox instead of putting up with this bullshit.
