what is a front sata port?! 😍

ok, and i’ll just buy a house to build wealth like my dad suggested. and dress better than the manager if i want a job. and stop eating avocado toast.

im not.

yeah i feel you. I’m in a band, so instagram is basically a necessity for promotion and communication. getting the word out about shows, other bands will message me for gigs etc

just try to use it a little as possible, and try to lock it down as much as possible in the os. you can do alot in the android app settings.

basically treat it as you would having a conversation near a security camera.

i don’t think anyone in this thread is saying we shouldn’t have proton, but just that it is holding back actual linux development. I for one love my steamdeck and use proton all the time.

but facts are facts, and there are less games being developed for linux because of proton.

you’re missing the point. the linux gaming market is increasing, but proton is in some ways a crutch keeping proper linux support from games because its much easier to support just one platform rather than two.

about 10 years ago, i noticed steam was available for linux. for the longest time i had pretty much written off gaming on linux (apart from like tuxcart, nethack, emulators…). i hadn’t considered actually being able to play “real” games.

that was before proton, so there really wasn’t a ton of stuff i could play, but i found some good stuff like hotline miami, papers please, super win the game.

obviously now we have proton and linux can be argued as a superior gaming platform in many cases.

i may be wrong, but arent you paying for support, not features?

in order (2000-present): red hat, slackware, debian, ubuntu, arch, manjaro, nix

have your husband remove the feature. explain all the downsides like how it affects your work and social life to not be able to add contacts.

if he refuses, as the rest of the comments point out, you may be in an abusive relationship. a marriage is built on trust. would he accept you locking down his phone the same way?

otherwise, maybe go pick up a burner phone from walmart or something.

i think that’s not a great way to think about it. when is the year of the linux desktop? its a slow build until its a viable ecosystem.

if companies just stopped making linux phones, the ecosystem would wither up and die (not counting postmarketos)

every new linux phone will inspire new people to try linux on a phone, and eventually we may have a viable alternative to ios and android.

this is exactly my opinion on it. one of my main gripes was the text rendering. if i needed to change some text i basically had to redo all of the work on any shadow or stroke as well, not just correct a spelling mistake or whatever. very excited to check out the new version.

should be fairly simple with any distro. personally, id recommend mint or something for ease of use. install steam, and you can use steam link for android (chromecast, roku, firestick, mobile), or steam link for linux (raspberry pi etc). steam has built in compatibility for windows games running on linux, and a built in streaming setup. a bit of an all-in-one solution.

you can try a steamdeck-like distro as others have suggested, but they may be less easy to learn on if youre not too familiar with linux already.

keep in mind nvidia drivers are a sore spot in linux, so if possible try to use an amd graphics card.

very hard to degoogle your phone/life. sounds like youre willing to put some work in…

Not sure what’s best, but Here’s the list of supported devices

Pretty sure there’s a pmos com they might have a more specific recommendation

Postmarketos on an old phone.

I agree that id like a nice handheld terminal, but dont a lot of people like handheld emulation consoles? Hell both of those sound great to me. I would totally get both the game pad and keyboard if i went for it.

My real concern is that it would be garbage and/or the company would fold and support would become non existent.

Maybe i just got burned by pocketchip
