So they do the same as GNOME? Scale double and then scale down?

Okay that makes sense as you need more pixels to work with.

My 6a is not sluggish on GrapheneOS. Maybe it is not an additional feature but the solution.

Are they using GrapheneOS?

That probably is a Ublock origin filterlist. Did you ever open UBOs settings? Try to not use too many, too many lists increase RAM and CPU usage and are all using badness enumeration so they will be 80% duplicates.

I dont know if UBO deduplicates them (removes duplicates), that would make sense.

A used Pixel should tick all the boxes, plus it supports GrapheneOS.

No idea when they started to implant displays with such insanely high refresh rate (I cant see that) but the 8 may already be available?

I got a 6a for 160€.

I have an idea what you are talking about

Uhm, do you mean titin?

Banking is a hit or miss, GrapheneOS should pass all security checks and more, but none of them is Google certified and apps start to request that, which sucks

This is just a theory but I assume they just dont scale, they have their UI sized to a set size and thats it.

Explain

Only if there was a portal, I would suppose. But idk to be honest. Flatpaks can write to /etc if they want.

Be careful about your grub

Btw is there a "how to reinstall grub" guide? I have no idea how to do that.

Its a standalone part of the system so it could just be written to the correct partition.

Very cool! Mullvad also updated their Linux install guides to reference the repos immediately, but they use dnf for whatever reason, making it unnecessarily complicated (issue report).

Your commands where good and secure, but this is a quicker way

    
curl https://repository.mullvad.net/rpm/stable/mullvad.repo` | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mullvad.repo

rpm-ostree install --reboot mullvad-vpn libappindicator-gtk3

systemctl enable --now mullvad-daemon

  

You dont need sudo for rpm-ostree and systemctl, they work natively with polkit. In general you can replace sudo with pkexec in your shell config and have easier and more granular permission controls. But dont remove sudo, that will currently break at least some things like shutdown.

They do, but networkmanager doesnt have the necessary features like a block mode. Read my other comment.

Btw there is a GNOME applet for mullvadvpn, so you dont need to use electron, just the background stuff.

Doesnt work. Networkmanager has no native concept of a "airtight VPN mode".

The mullvad daemon does stuff like

• control DNS
• block internet when not connected
• prevent early boot connections

Those require it to be privileged. For sure it would be nice to have all these features integrated into networkmanager, and vpn apps just placing their wireguard configs and DNS settings in there.

But for now the Mullvad App is way better than what we have. You can also keep a very insecure DNS conf (no DNSSEC, no DOT, no custom servers) as a fallback for public wifi bs, and when the Mullvad app is running the system uses a secure DNS.

People are social beings. They trust people recommending stuff. Its so bad that you need to tell people "well dont believe a thing big tech tells you"

No, electron, xwayland, GNOME cause problems.

KDE with fractional scaling on Wayland works well.

Not sure about GNOME today, but they hid it away in the past and forcing 120%/150% made everything blurry

Very chill. But this screams "dont theme my Apps/OS/Icons" so much.

Vanilla GNOME 43 on Debian 12 looks gorgeous, this looks like from 2005

Yes fish is great. It has some special syntax for functions, I will add my configs soo.

set fish_greeting is useful to silence it.

User scripts can go to ~/.local/bin which is already in the path.

You can split up your shell configs into topics, and put them into ~/.config/fish/conf.d/abc.conf

A hotspot is a connection where your phone creates a wifi network using its wifi antenna. The signal strength depends on how far away the phone is, thats it.

The hotspot stays on also if the phone has no cell data connection. Normally a phone should only be able to connect to either a wifi or be a hotspot, phone model is important.
