If it was that simple... I agree that we need to get off Meta, but this country runs on Whatsapp, if I don't have one, I can't even talk to customer service or talk to anybody really.

Living in Brazil without Whatsapp is hell, you lost 150% of you communication with the world and people just assume you're a serial killer, because you don't have social media.

The proof:

Got an ad for amazon on whatsapp just now. Fucking hate this company.

It just moved to gitflic and now requires a manual install on their .xpi file.

I deleted a post because it was the dumbest shit ever written by humanity. I was drunk at the time...

The anti-systemd manifesto on the website: we should have 5000 different packages with no integration whatsoever to manage the OS internals like ntp, services, timers, dns, etc.

I see that a monopolizing software is bad, but it just helps make a working computer work well.

Most healthy phoronix discussion in the comments, systemd, x11 and rust too.

In my opinion systemd helps a lot, dns becomes a lot easier (like managing dns-over-tls), managing services becomes fine (even managing zram on distros without the zram configuration package), etc, so I see why they would want to change some internal stuff to use systemd, less chores on the devs.

Clearly we need a post colonial world

Yes.

Pqp, fui descoberto.

My tablet draws 4.5w at peak, at low loads it draws almost nothing (x86_64 tablet), maybe it's the design of the laptop/tablet, but mine just consumes the same even with waydroid on, maybe setting efficiency in the BIOS help, but idk. On windows it just consumes a power plant every minute, linux is just efficient.

Idle power usage is not a lot higher...

Waydroid is a android translator(?) for linux on wayland, it runs android applications in a translation layer (android has linux under it), so you can install a ROM (there's a default one without google applications like google play services, but you can search a ROM with it) and run android applications like any phone with a custom ROM.

Edit: The tablet with waydroid running:

Waydroid with a ROM with GAPPS? I use lineageos on my linux tablet, a lot of android games run just fine.

What is the cpu? If something, zswap (250mb) with lz4 and zram (2gb on disk) with lz4 too, on a lightweight distro on btrfs with lzo compression might make it usable. Disk compression might make it usable on the disk side and memory compression might make it run at least not extremely bad on the cpu side. Maybe cachyos with gnome (i know, but it is the only DE with good touchscreen) can be at least usable.

If more things, I can try to help. I have a linux tablet.

Edit: Maybe more space (external sd card with btrfs and lzo) could be used as /home too, but only with more information given, what is the setup?

Edit: My config that I made it work and run decently:

A lot of gamers want better performance, so a performance oriented distro with gaming quality of life features fills that gap. And ultimately there are a lot of YouTube channels promoting it and it kind of turned into a cool distro to use. This might explain the phenomenon.
