It’s my mom’s phone and I’m a significant bit of distance away from home. So, I want to make changes that are as non-intrusive as possible because she can’t really troubleshoot.

I forget the model but an especially annoying piece of adware on the phone is Glance, which keeps re-enabling and reinstalling itself.

Ads, as of late. Bought my mom one and kinda regret it.

You know what annoys me about the people defending Epic’s lawsuit? The fact that there are actually legitimate issues with Valve and somehow they’re hyper-fixated on the non-issues. If they were instead talking about CS2 gambling, lootboxes, etc, I would be in support of it. But no, it’s about how they’re a “monopoly” because they’re one of only two stores that seem to care about their customers…

For installing Flatpaks via GUI, if you’re using GNOME, you can use Bazaar or GNOME Software and if you’re on KDE, you can use Discover. I’ll always recommend staying away from Manjaro though. Holding packages for 2 weeks breaks AUR compatibility often and as a former AUR package maintainer, I’m not a fan of that. They sometimes end up delaying important fixes too and they have a history of neglecting security. I’d definitely recommend cachyOS over Manjaro. CachyOS also has a very friendly forum if you end up needing help. For something more similar to Manjaro and closer to Arch (without all the performance patching and stuff), EndeavourOS is a great option. Ah well, basically, anything other than Manjaro.

I’d say, don’t bother. For me, I was already on Arch, as I’ve been for years, so switching package repositories isn’t a big deal and I could just as easily switch back. So when I noticed some minor performance issues with Arkham Knight on base arch, I thought “why not”. There’s also the fact that Bazzite can’t work for me because of its immutable nature. If you’re happy with how things are going right now, I don’t think there’s a reason to switch. Of course, there’s always the “why not” factor for everyone :)

But wait… If you haven’t had any issues, why bother trying something else?

To clarify, I use cachyOS packages on arch. So, I can’t give a review of the distro itself. But the packages do work really well for gaming, especially their kernel and their proton variant. I use GNOME and force Proton to use Wayland and FSR4. So far, so good.

The thing is, I game. And I’ve found CachyOS to be performing better on games than Windows. In fact, I’m running Expedition 33 with forced FSR4 on a Navi 2 GPU (which isn’t supposed to support FSR4) and it performs better than with FSR3 on Windows. That honestly surprised me. Unfortunate that FSR is becoming a requirement for so many modern games (thanks UE5). And then there’s anticheat…

I think it’s to a whole different degree in Japan though, at least from what I’ve heard. Forced drinking parties at work, for example.

This is what bothers me so much… Browsers should be improving their PWA implementation (looking at you, Firefox) and electron apps should be PWAs more often. Another decent middle ground Is Tauri. SilverBullet and Yaak are both so much lighter and better than anything else on my system.

“10 years ago” would mean the year is 2015. By then, there were no 30 search bars, generally no viruses just by connecting to the internet and speeds were also acceptable or more than acceptable. And 2015 was unquestionably a better time for the internet.

Yeah OC’s argument seems very shallow to me. Where does spider-man even fall in all this? The typical spidey depiction is a broke kid who isn’t even sure he wants to be a superhero. What does that make him?

There are plenty of people who believe the propaganda that Bin Salman sells. This is much harder to refute, even for them.

Epstein had a very casual photo of the two of them together, almost like old buddies. That’s the crucial bit I believe.

Nushell?

So you agree with him then

There are pretty much no support systems in place for situations like this in most places. So, exile can mean starvation and more where I’m from. I don’t know about where OP is from though.

Nix is a great suggestion and I think i will be using it moving forward as well. Thanks. Ideally I want to use NixOS, do you know if secure boot is still a pain point with NixOS?
