Ah yes, charging money for not using a service, makes perfect sense! /s

Discord is also quite the resource hog. Trying to run the web version on weaker phones is a slog.
Crypto currency built in and not open source.
And the big tech companies also stand to benefit from overhyping their product to the point of saying it will take over the world. They look better for investors and can justify laws saying they should be the only arbiters of this technology to “keep it out of criminal hands” while happily serving the criminals for a fee.
One of the things Fedora specifically has going for it is the generally newer kernel, which has been important for me in the past.
As you’ve probably heard, it’s basically just NVidia with shitty drivers. They are getting better but are not included in many distros (they can usually be added through the package manager pretty easily) since they are proprietary. Intel and AMD generally work out of the box for gaming. NVidia drivers are bad enough that I sold my 2060 for an ARC a750 just because of the drivers lol.
Depending on the use, you may be able to spin then down when not in use, but that’s not always possible for some applications.
For me, I found that there were a few channels I subscribe to on youtube that also upload on freetube, so I watch their videos on freetube instead. I also find that the image quality is better than youtube.
I have one and opted for a Oneplus 6 running postmarketOS because of the pinephone’s many shortcomings:
Some things I liked:
I might have stayed with the pinephone if it was more powerful like the pro, and might have brought a battery bank so I don’t have to worry about running out.
I know for me personally, its worth the time to set things up myself since I usually learn something new along the way. If you don’t care about the learning aspect and just want the finished product, paying someone else is probably a good idea.
That’s seems like a good idea, considering the plethora of videos online of packages being stolen with an obvious camera watching the thieves.
bro, just use firefox or Librewolf or something.
That and it has full functionality in the browser. No bullshit “download the app”.
I find phone images too always look overprocessed, specifically sharpened and denoised.
I remember how the jellyfin documentation specifically recommends against RPIs since they have no hardware transcoding. I personally use a 4th gen i3 in a mac mini and it can do what I want, though I don’t use it heavily.
Yeah. One of the major reasons I never plan to use Proton or Tutanota is that none of my email apps will work and I will rely on whatever interface they provide.
Yeah, libredirect is awesome. It’s useful even if I remember all the frontends, since it means even embedded and linked videos use whatever frontend I want in the case of Youtube.
From the footage I’ve seen, it looks similar to games like Super Mario Galaxy and 3D world but with top tier graphics. Looks pretty interesting but I don’t have a PS5 and never plan to own one.
At least for ProtonVPN, you can install the wireguard app and import a protonVPN config and get the base functionality with no bullshit.
As far as I know, the only “stable” linux phones are the Pinephone and Librem 5. The former runs hot and is painfully slow and the librem is very expensive for what you get. Some android phones can be reflashed but there are always core hardware features missing like camera, usb and GPS. I wrote this comment on my Oneplus 6 running postmarketOS, so you can make it work if you accept the shortcomings.
