What's wrong with just using the web for apps that don't work. Most sites these days are designed for mobile screens nowadays. I typically use the web for my bank and there's no issues. Just got to know your password. Same thing for Facebook.
I use /e/is and I like it. Having a built in tracker blocker is nice.
Agreed. Also from a Tech support POV, there is no "standard" OS and troubleshooting the vast different environments would be a pain. With Windows, you have a standard layout, with couple different versions - Home / Pro / Enterprise. With linux, you have different syntax, differnt DE's, etc. Still use Linux at home / work but i am interested in it. Got to have that motivation to do so.
Same thing with moving to Lemmy, gotta have that motivation to make the change.
The accounts that they use were rate limited to login attempts and made the store unusable. The workaround is to open the Google Play page for the app in a browser and opening it up in "another app" in which Aurora should take over. It might be fixed but hasn't been an issue on /e/os.
I agree that /e/os looks boring or looks like iOS but doesn't every Android OS look the same to some degree? They are redesigning the UI in an upcoming release.
The main I like /eOS is the built in tracker blocker.
Desktop client that emulates having a YouTube subscription / account. Sponserblock can be turned on. Can add channels, have a feed of videos, watched videos disappear when watched, etc.
Perhaps we have different needs but I'm trying to get away from my @gmail.com account. Having an alternative built into my phone (email, pictures, calendar, writer, spreadsheets and others) synced across devices as well as my computer, sounds good to me.
It is only 1gb of space, but as of now, plenty of space for my pictures. To some point, makes me not hold TONS of pictures on my phone as I delete the ones I don't want. Can desync if needed
For additional space, yes its kinda expensive. I have a proton account as well and beard good things about them. Its just not baked into my OS
After years of "degoogling" my phones, been rocking a Oneplus 6t (love this phone) with several OS's, but found /e/OS one night and haven't looked back.
Currently using Magic Earth as its the default map application for /e/OS (mobile OS). Been liking it for the most part, but sometimes searches for a place comes up with results that are way far away.
Just switched to EndeavourOS about a week ago from Manjaro and been liking it so far.
Biggest reason for the change was my manjaro install was getting cluttered, and moving over to a new distro ( taking all my previous knowledgement with it) has been a blessing.
Beforehand, my Manjaro install was EFI, whereas my Windows 11 drive ( yes I know) was UEFI so switching on boot was an issue. Now both are on UEFI and show up within Grub.
Endeavor OS has bluetooth turned off by default. Thought there was an issue but nope.
So from no issues with updating, even with AUR turned on.
I just like starting fresh and setting things up with all my previous knowledge.
Warpinator helps with transferring files over from PC to Steam Deck. Although KDE Connect is preinstalled on the Steam Deck, Warpinator just seems to work better / more consistently
You're right - could have sworn that they used it. NIffy website i did just found was https://osm-apps.zottelig.ch/ that points out the different variety of OSM. On a side note, I have switched over to /e/OS on my main cellphone and it uses Magic Earth, which def uses OSM.
Believe they are reworking the launcher, Bliss, in an upcoming update
