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

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

read part 2

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

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