Wanted to play It Takes Two with my gf when it launched. Hoping to convince her now that she’s my wife

Post Malone? (Based off what I’ve seen)

Wires:

• Ethernet over preferred over WiFi for non portable desktops
• Audio gear : wired will sound better. Bluetooth headphones have batteries that almost certainly aren’t repairable.
• Peripherals, in the sane vein. I just don’t get having to charge a keyboard or mouse that sits on my desk all day.

Ah, okay. I thought OP was referring to a thinkpad/thinkcentre

What’s a thin client?

Not sure if niche, but I use Arco Linux instead of the alternatives like Endeavour, Manjaro, or plain arch.

Why? Its easier to setup than straight Arch. Manjaro was all over the place when I tried it a few years back. Arco, right from the ISO stage, let’s you configure exactly what you want, with a handy guide on their website.

But the thing that keeps me loyal is the excellent community. The maintainer himself responds to most of your queries on telegram / discord (not FOSS reeee) and he’s very active on YouTube as well with no nonsense guides and walkthroughs. Shoutout Eric Dubois

Sorry, I meant optimisations for KDE Connect in particular. It has a persistent notification enabled as well.

This just stops working on either my Linux laptop or my phone randomly. I’ll need to kill the process and restart it Does anyone know how I can fix this? Battery optimisations are turned off on the phone.

Manjaro is a distro I’ve given up on. Broke itself twice for me. I much prefer Endeavour OS or Arco (shout-out to that excellent community)

I’ve had instances where the system breaks,usually when I don’t update for a while. I don’t want to face that on my ‘stable’ machine

Xnconvert for some of these tasks

Woops sorry I think I replied to the wrong comment. Lawnchair is pretty great, but I shifted to Neo where at least the community is a little active.

I really like having a plain home screen that I can put widgets onto, so that leaves Niagara out

I actually gave this a go (or 6, over the past year) but it was a bit too radical for my taste

Every UI setup change needs a launcher restart to take effect

This came installed with my rom too, but I really need the option to sort the app drawer into categories or folders

Severe inconsistent quality issues in both software and hardware, treating their customers as beta testers, random motherboards dying, etc.

They are still riding the ‘flagship killer’ wave, but they are just as overpriced as Samsung, while offering unfinished products.

Wouldn’t recommend Oneplus anymore.

At the high end, Samsung has been pretty solid with their S lineup. The FE models are a good compromise as well. Pixels are a hit or miss, I’d recommend waiting for issues to surface before deciding on the 8/8 pro.

On the more budget - midrange side of things, Motorola has been doing a fairly solid job. They do have a lot of models, so some youtube videos should give you a fair idea on what’s right for you.

Oh damn. It was at auto, which I assumed was 100% (the lowest value)

I set it to 100 manually and it looks a lot better, thanks!

The UI is horrendously large on my 14 inch 1080p display too
