It is so unfortunate to be ridiculed for being a Linux user in a country with a staggering %14 market share.

I am interpreting "worth paying" as "immensely useful" because I don't recall paying for an app, ever.

• Aurora Store: Basically Play Store but you don't need to sell your soul to Google. You can log in to Google account while staying signed out on Android or use "anonymous account" function.
• KDE Connect: File transfer, phone notifications on PC, stops video/audio on PC when you answer a call and many other features. Right clicking a file on my Linux PC and then clicking "Send to Phone via KDE Connect" is so satisfying.
• Samsung Notes: No non-sense PDF reader and annotator. It did not appear when I searched for Android PDF readers on the Internet and its name doesn't imply that function making it sort-of a hidden gem. Maybe there are better apps I couldn't find, though.

Steam and Spotify

I don't think you can get OTA if you root a Samsung. EDIT: You can get OTA except that it isn't actual OTA but manual, the process is a bit involved.

Never use sudo for graphical apps. If you need admin permissions use pkexec instead. ie. pkexec gparted

Do you mean a video with multiple songs split by chapters? Like this one? You can use yt-dlp with --split chapters -x options. -x extracts audio.

That is invaluable insight into random reboots. I have a question: Why does the device have to reboot instead of automatically lowering CPU frequencies? Why do you have to set up throttling instead of the hardware handling this by itself?

In the battery menu of my iPhone X, I saw a warning similar to "maximum performance might be affected". The menu showed battery life was low (%69), warned about performance and recommended me to bring the phone to customer service.

I did a debloat on my Samsung and applied a patch, I didn't see anything come back. I can give better info if I decide to install the beta which isn't available yet.

This is not mildly infuriating. This is intensely rage inducing.

Disagree. I love F34 and F36 wallpapers. Rest are mediocre imo but not terrible.

• 1 GiB FAT32 EFI, rest in your preferred filesystem for root
• If you are dualbooting and accessing all files / games from Windows is a concern, make Linux root partition around 50 GiB
• I use zram instead of swapfile or partition but setting up zswap (NOT zram) with swapfile is a better idea.
• You didn't mention encryption. Are you considering it?

available on Samsung devices running OneUI 5.1.1, like the Galaxy Z Fold 5, but not those running OneUI 5.1 like the Galaxy S23

I have the setting on Galaxy A34 running latest stable firmware with OneUI 5.1, but it is called "notifications for unknown bluetooth trackers", slightly different from the post.

One day my friend, one day I will make a Linux convert

they will probably be too jacked up on X

This has not aged well

EndeavourOS, Mint, Fedora. I was a part of EnOS forums for a year, these people are saints. Just say hello or make a help request and five different people will greet you.

The concept of Manjaro is in my opinion perfect, because in theory it allows to enjoy the latest and greatest software while minimizing bugs. But the execution has so many flaws.

• The graphical package manager Pamac has DDOS'ed AUR twice.
• Manjaro mirrors Arch packages and holds them back, so it trails a few weeks behind Arch Linux. But Manjaro does NOT do this for AUR, which results in breakages and results in the next bullet point.
• Pamac offers users an easy way of installing AUR packages but this makes Manjaro vulnerable to breakages for unknowing users.
• Manjaro's website's SSL certificate has expired 4 times. This required users to roll back time to receive updates.
• There has been controversies around the treasurer of Manjaro as well as Manjaro establishing a company and becoming for-profit.
• Some editions of Manjaro are infamously problematic. For example Budgie does not recommend Manjaro, citing its flaws. GNOME edition shipped a Firefox theme extension which wasn't supposed to be used in production because Firefox updates quickly. At one point, the extension broke.
