I'll checkout the ublue stuff, thanks for the heads up. I started with Mint but agree with you, Kinoite is a perfect replacement. Very familiar UI, very modern, and all the stuff you said.

That's not native to Kinoite and since the computer is for my Dad and it'll be his first Linux experience I don't want to be adding things with RPM-OSTree. I did add some more info on the key into my post. I hope that helps you

Not sure what that macro is for but I added more info on my post about the key. I hope it helps

I don't know and I won't be testing it. This computer is for my Dad and will be his first Linux experience so I can't be running any experiments. It would be interesting to find out though

Everything. Data breaches/leaks happen all the time. The more these companies have to admit what happened and be shamed and fined the more they will care about security for their customers.

To add to this I'd also pay attention to the Android version that the OS is based on. Last I checked e/OS is a few versions outdated. GrapheneOS works very very well, you (OP) just have to understand how to set it up for your use case.

I really love Fedora Kinoite. Like you said, everything just works. It's fantastically boring

I agree. I don't know why people believe Apple and their privacy fasaude. There is plenty of evidence to show they're a monopoly on the data to make all the money for themselves, as well as closed source means you can't trust or verify anything they claim.

Fairly decent advice in my opinion

Good to know. Another comment thread was talking about how it wasn't open source

You're spot on. I do want to make my app open source.

That worked! Thank you so much! I was getting pretty disheartened about Lemmy but now it's all good

Looks like a good option. Thank you

That's great to hear and know I wouldn't be learning a depreciated language. Thank you!

Thank you, those look like great resources! Android Studio has a flatpak too which is great

Good to know. Maybe I'll tinker around with Kotlin I hear so much about as well as Godot and see what comes to me more intuitively

Visual does sound nice but I'd rather go with something well used and stable. Is Android studio and Kotlin "open source"? I know what open source is but don't know how to make it that way or not. I've got a lot of learning to do clearly so I appreciate your help!

It's a good point about the website and I've thought about that as well. I do want to go the app route however because I want instant offline access
