I convinced myself that manjaro is less stable than fedora. But not completely. It depends on the device and what is installed on it.

For some reason, I was able to run Manjaro on my hp laptop without issues for a long time. However my brother on his Lenovo laptop, the manjaro update just killed itself after 2 months. And this always after some months the updater would not work anymore.

I then installed Fedora on his laptop, and damn that thing stayed up and running for 2y now. Even after major system update, never broke, and package install always worked, at least when the tutorials are up to date on special things.

Like installing video codecs, I had to do another command which was not mentioned on the fedora docs, in order to switch from ffmpeg libre to ffmpeg. And then the rest of the install commands would work.

Video? Is it my app or did you share the wrong link?

One of your questions don’t seem to be that based?

“shits on Linux gamers”, are you talking about the store not beeing available on linux? Meh already got heroic which is better.

Their easy anticheat is available through proton tho, it’s on the game dev to chose to enable it or not (and I understand why they don’t do it for fortnite : the Linux market is pretty small, but also because the game is so huge that hackers will not hesitate a bit to switch to Linux in order to hack with custom kernels).

The issue is that even the same brand can have multiple USB fingerprint scanners, which may not all work.

From a 4y old reddit thread some person found a fingerprint scanner which worked, but some other person who had a similar one didn’t get it ot work.

I have no experience for this matter, nor a lot of Linux either, but there seem to be some interesting choices here (there isn’t best and worst, it’s just a list, and the most adapted to what you need).

Obviously the minimum system requirements should not be your max amount of ram. You need to account for apps or tools you’ll run.

I don’t understand some things in the water consumption.

Why do they need to humidify the air for the datacenter?

Why is there water consumption for cooling? Aren’t they recirculating water used for watercooling? Or are they using f*ing tap water then throwing it out?

Water for electricity production, kinda, yes. Could be indirectly attributed to their water consumption as they are using the electricity produced by the sources using water.

This : https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/General-Discussion/issues/241

As explained sold to ZipoApps (low quality add ridden shovelware, with extremely high price /week to remove adds, from the git discussion).

From a reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/SimpleMobileTools/comments/18929pq/simplemobiletools_was_sold_alternatives/

There seems to already be a fork : https://github.com/FossifyX

Tho not sure how trusted it can be, but seems to have some hope.

The reddit post also suggests some alternatives. The comments in that post also suggests more alternatives.

Hey on android? Didn’t know simplemobiletools was sold. Should be fine if updates are disabled from play store and only f-droid versions are used.

But for alternatives :

For a gallery app, I find Aves to look pretty good and has many great features https://github.com/deckerst/aves

If you need gallery (still not that great yet) & backup : ente gallery (there are other ente apps too) https://ente.io/

For a calendar no idea.

There is a way to create a Google account with an external email address. If you don’t have anything tied to your Google original account, it could be a way to access Google tools.

Rather push by Microsoft instead of Google?

It was something else. Web drm : Web Integrity API.

Tho I don’t think they canceled the mobile variant of it for apps.

It may depends on your rom/os brand. On my device (oxygen os 13.x), I can restrict access somewhere deep into mobile network settings (the translation may not be good as I have it in French) :

Settings > mobile network > data consumption > network access.

And here I see all apps. I can restrict mobile network, WiFi or both.

Currently florisboard doesn’t have prediction nor autocorrect prediction.

Due to complications in the development of that feature (either too heavy to run or not smart enough for prediction…) and the development of the app got stuck, until maybe recently where it seems to get some dev attraction on some topics.

Tho the prediction is still stuck. So you won’t have yet prediction or smart things in this keyboard.

Florisboard git > discussions (in the menu should be after pull requests)

I find Lemmy works pretty well for a decentralised network.

It is possible to see what everyone has been subscribed to when sorting by all, and so subscribe myself to it to get it in my subscription feed.

There are nice apps like Liftoff which can manage multiple accounts at the same time, and even view instances all feed without an account on them.

Mastodon on the other hand is a bit lackluster in comparison I’d say. The subscription model is pretty had to start using as I need to either find # or people to subscribe to, and even subscribing to them. And even after doing that the posts aren’t that interesting or feel empty due to no comments/likes/boost.

Maybe I subscribed to the wrong #, but I find Lemmy much more enticing than mastodon.

An adblock dns, something like nextdns, or others won’t do anything to harm you Internet speed. They are just resolving a dns query, and saying nothing or no to a blocked query.

It can catch what cannot be blocked by an adblockers on the device, because outside of the website or something.

I don’t know about pihole tho.

Well, the whole point of otp tokens/2fa, is to have a second login confirmation. Mostly on another device, like a phone.

Now maybe if you store your 2fa way on the same device, but locked away with a strong password, it may work, and could be safe enough.

But if it’s the same password as your device or another account, it isn’t that safe.
