This is what actually made me torrent it.

Same,in 2013.

Trump is beyond any laws. He simply doesn’t give a shit.

He should have been in jail for SA after being convicted by a civil court on 34 counts. Americans decided to fuck their own country.

In Spain, if you pay all your taxes you are covered for everything for free. Issue with it is that the system is overcrowded, so people who can afford it pay for private health insurance

As an example, I pay 220€/month for a family of 3 and we are covered for everything, except dental.

They do work, but Apple has a shitty system of ranking apps based on usage for background keep alive.

The more you open the app. the higher it’ll rank in priority and background upload will work.

Sure, yeah, my wording was bad. I meant besides e/os/.

I think I tried that and it didn’t support my bank , unless I’m misremembering the app name.

As I read, it’s a common occurance on multiple roms (including graphene) since around 2025 with a dreaded “application is not official” or something similar.

I’ve experienced it on my fairphone 6 running iodé os and , unfortunately and because of nfc payments, I had to switch back to official rom and Whatsapp simply started working again with the same number.

Mind you, it only happens with new registrations, even if using the same number.

Edit: just search the vast internet for issues like “whatsapp not official error” or something.

worth adding:

1. whatsapp no longer works and requires attestation
2. Banking apps are a gamble
3. Weird quirks like stuck UI until multitasking is used and others

Look into iodé os also. e/os/ is way to iphone-esque,but iode is sticking to a cleaner approach and also allows bootloader locking, given you pay attention to the security patch versioning “security feature”.

You could also try Yagni launcher on fdroid. 2mb, still in alpha, but very much worth installing.

Yes, it does. i recently installed a bunch on crap and decided I don’t need any of it, so I just rolled back to the snapshot I created manually, before starting the process and my system was simply restored.

Just keep one thing in mind, rolling back automatically makes the filesystem read only so You need to remount.

I’m glad I stuck with Librewolf.

This was my take as well, so I ended up with vanilla Void.

i actually ended up installing vanilla Void. I messed it up before with seating and  bash_profiles, but following strictly their documentation, it took me  10 min to get  a fully xdg-portals powered system with plasma.

Truthfully, it’s because I’ve become increasingly lazy lately,but I’ve been looking for a reason to move away from systemd ,as I am not a fan of hard dependencies like that anymore - been using arch for years and am looking to try other init system to sort of break away from monopolies.

You’re right of course,however, I find the Void documentation very lacking TBH and getting a minimal install with plasma and pipewire so what I need.

Edit: thanks for the recommendations. I completely forgot to check distrowatch.

Linus No Tech Tips.

I can’t for the life of me get used to Gnome on my desktop. I tried so many times, but I always get the feeling of using a tablet.

I like the concept, but it’s simply a laptop or tablet centered DE, at best.

This is the sensible comment.

Void Linux with runit, here I come!

it looks like there’s a new generation of “I run cachyos BTW”. While you are free to choose whatever distro you wanr, the passion with which you defend cachy is adorable.

Cachy is nothing but hype, surrounded by fanboys without much experience, who are willing to believe a governor and a couple of tweaks gives them the best os on the planet - I know, cause I used it and went back to arch because I prefer something that is real and the result of hard work, not a hacky job,that looks like someone just had fun hyping the shit out of “performance gains”.

You can keep your 1% gain, and the bloat.
