I use the one that comes with my DE, but if I am using a WM I use kitty

I don't really have a "favorite" artist, everyone I listen to is really just replaceable. I'd say that I'd stop for 500 USD

Why even have a box at this point? Just put the phone in the mail by itself, it's durable right?

What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

This is precisely why I dislike and don't recommend Ubuntu, to this day.

He meant lighter as in performance wise.

So as a United flier(haven't flown for two months, though), I know that they provide the following free:

• a selection of locally hosted movies and TV shows
• RCS, iMessage
• Internet messaging services like meta messenger and snapchat(I can't speak on more niche messengers like Jami or any forms of XMPP

You have to pay extra(or sign in with t-mobile) to get in flight internet access.

I hope that this means that you'll get unrestricted internet access for free, instead of only a few apps and services.

This is (almost) the same as looking at how someone types with their hands to estimate what they're typing, just a bit less more precise.

Tragically that will mess up most sites nowadays with web2

By install another distro, I meant install a distro that has a nonfree repo(I'm using pureos), and just boot from a usb. I'm not sure how steam is packaged, but I'd imagine it would go against the point of a distro like pureos.

Thanks for the invite, I decided to have a squizz at the github, and saw that

RUNNING NON-STEAM GAMES WITH PROTON OUTSIDE OF STEAM IS NOT SUPPORTED. DO NOT ASK FOR HELP WITH THIS:

Do you think that Wine-GE might be better for GOG games? I remember Wine-GE working fine for me before.

Thanks for the input, do you use the official steam client?

It's just a preference, I prefer downloading from GOG, without the DRM or proprietary clients. Edit: I know steam has an open source command line tool

Proton is Wine with prefixes

Can you elaborate? Do you mean that it includes prefixes with it?

emulation for old games isn't so demanding

By old, I meant 2010 to 2015, which is where my laptop reaches it's limits. I've tried ps3 emulation and it couldn't pull that off, and there is no emulator for 360 on linux(that I know of).

Yeah check out my edited comment, some of the links I provided weren't accurate

Of course, it's understandable. You've got a pretty solid selection of devices to start your Android modification journey. Eventually, you won't need any guides, It's just a matter of experience. I think I tried rooting or flashing new OSes to three devices before I really got the hang of it. Also, I've just reviewed a few of my links and some of them aren't the highest quality or the most comprehensible, so I'll edit my comment soon.

OP did google, just didn't find good guides.

I actually have done a massive amount of research but most of the instructions I’ve found are vague in some respects, sometimes they’re outdated, and sometimes they just assume too much. I’ve literally seen ones that say like “1. Unlock boot loader. 2. Load new rom. 3…. Etc” I was like “uh… how about any clue on how to do those things? Even a link to sub-procedures where it’s already documented.

I'm sorry to hear that you've had issues like that, I can imagine how that would be upsetting. If you do hit a roadblock like that, I'm sure that people can help if you post here. I only said my original comment because I didn't understand the question right. I misinterpreted and thought that you were asking for something like my second comment, with every single device listed and a guide or something on how to root it. Guides really do vary in quality, and your mileage really will vary with them.

Thank you! Unfortunately I was one of the negative commenters. Didn't mean to be rude, I just wanted to ask that you do a bit of searching before asking questions, I'm sorry if I came off as an asshole.
