that’s why I said could be

could be, but probably referring to no notifications, fan noise, and/or HDD clicking

In the US, latest FuriOS update did increase how often my phone locks up from an incoming call, but I hope it gets fixed soon (and am working on trying to fix it myself in the free time). Sticking to libadwaita apps mostly gets around the scaling weirdness and makes most apps feel mostly natural on a phone. I do still suggest some moderate Linux skills before anyone decides to buy it, because if something breaks, you sometimes have to know how to fix it on the fly

I’ll make a detailed review one day when I have enough freetime

agreed, but so far calls and text on my flx1s have been for some reason more stable than my past android phones? also I’m lucky to be using a bank who’s app works on custom roms (including the furiphone’s andromeda layer)

feels great having the same apps on my phone as on my Linux desktop

one day… one day I’ll be able to run Steam on *BSD…

Y is so last decade, everyone I know is using X12

Mir!

I resort to ancient audio hardware with pure ALSA from how bad the modern Linux audio stack has gotten

pipewire is forgivable as it’s slowly healing the Linux audio madness

it was very glitchy in my experience

I’d use krita if there was a “editing” toggle that switches it to a GIMP-like interface, since I never really do digital art

I do have friends that love krita, though

gimp qt/imgui port when

I wouldn’t call this a “face-punch” to adobe, but GIMP is one of those softwares that just keeps getting better with every update no matter what

they finally fixed their awful text editor!

Bazzite GNOME on my “it needs to work daily no matter what” school/work/light gaming laptop, ~250ish flatpak apps (mostly very awesome tiny GTK4-based tools)

Devuan on my desktop PC, Trinity Desktop Environment, almost entirely apt apps, I do heavy multimedia work and gaming on it, I squeeze as much speed as I can

Debian on my Linux phone (FuriLabs FLX1s running FuriOS, a fork of Droidian, which is a fork of Mobian, which is a fork of Debian), Phosh UI, almost entirely ~140ish flatpaks

I try to keep my operating systems and software as controlled and predictable as possible, but I approach that differently depending on the usecase. Yes, I’ve tried NixOS, fell in love with it, and quickly realized it’s overengineered and makes my head hurt. I also used CachyOS with TDE on my desktop for a while, was really speedy but TDE packaging for Arch really sucks compared to their Debian packaging

bazzite

and for anyone here using Linux (including Linux phones), an app called Frog does the same text extraction thing

punchcards? heh, newb. i flip switches on a kit computer to compile arch linux entirely from mental math

that first number singlehandedly helped me fix my mom’s phone. for context, 5g reception is quite mediocre where i live (especially if you’re on att, which my mom thankfully isn’t on). i went to network settings: no band toggle. i opened android’s advanced network settings menu: tried to gaslight me that this phone doesn’t have 4g (i know damn well it does). finally, that first number in your comment that opens HiddenMenu, showed an entry called “NR debug” or something like that. and there it was: “Disable NR”. her phone is so much faster now, but idk how long that will persist since some phones change this shit behind your back after like a week.
