Please add regional pricing. It's currently ₺650 to remove ads. Considering Forza Horizon 5, a triple A title that costs $60 normally is priced at ₺600, the current pricing is just too much for anything but the NA and EU.
Then the distro doesn't matter that much. You shouk go for either Snaps or Flatpaks for applications as they won't break the system even if something catastrophic happens.
Personally I'd go for distros with great deal of support (Pop, Fedora and Mint) and put Flathub as the main source in the respective app stores. Smaller distros tend to have more issues that requires some troubleshooting at times.
Check how does she uses Ubuntu first though, if she's using the Canonical's additions to Gnome a lot, she'll have a horrible time with vanilla Gnome as it's pretty barebones, that'll rule out any distro with vanilla Gnome such as Fedora. Trust me, you don't want to be babysitting your partners computer.
Connect for now. It isn't perfect but pretty good. Feed isn't as smooth (images load in later kicks your scrolling up) and you can't open links in it automatically.
Is there any plans to support links outside of the app? I would love to be able touch on a link on my browser and Connect would spring up like Reddit clients did for Reddit.
As an alternative, you could consider KDE Connect. It does a lot more than just keyboard and touchpad. You can even send files both ways extremely quickly.
Although, I enabled every security and privacy setting on both (just about the same set of extentions also). But even then, even with a lower score, Edge still feels much smoother to use. Also, every time test refreshed, FF flashed white for a split second as opposed to Edge's black. Since I use dark mode and Dark Reader, it's extremely annoying on FF's part.
Oh I couldn't express myself very well. I'm not complaining about the great tools; but the extremely easy installation of mods. Developers are great either way imo.
Also, the frame drops. Oh the frame drops. Searching and app and scrolling down always drops frames since Google switched away from Android Market. I can't imagine how does it still happen to this day lmao.
That unfortunately what happens when a game with mod supports gets a bit older. There's a sweet spot in modding, easier than that; dumbfucks arrive, harder than that; nobody mods and scene dies out incredibly quickly.
Minecraft sits right on the spot for example. Not too easy that any idiot can do it, and it isn't hard enough to require a CS degree to mod.
Connect is by far the most polished but the bar isn't that high unfortunately. I'm waiting for Sync, it was the best Reddit client in my opinion. At least when it came to UX, it was really good. I have high expectations for Sync for Lemmy.
Being paid. Sync runs ads normally. Although he could go in the old Slide route.
