A lot more people have android phones than iphones that’s all that is. If anything iOS is overrepresented

Default Fedora workstation and Silverblue do it this way. First boot prompts you to create an account and set it up, then lands you on the desktop and asks if you want a tour of the UI

I don’t have experience with dual GPU laptops but from what I’ve heard PopOS handles them really well. They also have an image with the nvidia drivers preinstalled which should make the setup process straightforward

Edit: I also found this github repo which documents some fixes for issues on that device specifically. Not sure how many of these have been patched upstream by now but it’s worth checking out.

Yes absolutely, it is the building block of my security posture. I encrypt because I don’t want thieves to have access to my personal data, nor do I want law enforcement or the state to have access if they were to raid my house. I’m politically active and a dissident so I find it vital to keep my data secure and private, but frankly everybody should be doing it for their own protection and peace of mind

I love what they’re shooting for with it, if it was more reliable I’d switch to it in a heartbeat. It gives much more of a general Linux for TV experience than Kodi, which is more focused on being a media player, and that’s what I want personally.

Plasma, kodi has been rock solid for me

I’ve tried this on several different devices over the past year and all I can say is it’s not ready. It feels like alpha software, with many buttons and menus nonfunctional and frequent issues with windows disappearing and compositor crashing. Tried on Xorg and Wayland, as well as builds on ARM and x86

Scientific papers, I love doing research and a university .edu address doesn’t last forever. Not a damn chance I’m paying for those journals lol, shoutout scihub

Nice this project was always interesting! Seems very feature rich, glad it’s out of that invite only stage

This is so cool, I love the project but have never been able to run it. What a lovely gem of good news in the mobile space to contrast against divestos shutting down. Hopefully it can take its position as a viable alternative to android roms in the next few years

Or maybe what you’re seeing is people with principles choosing not to support those who violate them when possible? This project offers little utility over thunderbird and is run by people with shitty and public viewpoints so of course I reject it. I’m trying to support projects that reflect the type of community I want to be a part of, and this isn’t it.
