Yes. But real work I said. You didn't read my first paragraph.

Try working with a spreadsheet on a phone. OK?

The second paragraph you have a point. It very useful. However, you won't spend hours with your bankapp or your uber food app. Most of the time its an endless scroller tool. Am I right?

I hear Linux is on the rise. ;)

Someone else pointed out that for more and more people their phones are replacing a desktop/laptop.

Good luck doing any kind of actual productive work on a phone.

Its just a device for chewing through content as fast as your fingers can scroll.

Yes. The number one hurdle is to get common folks off WhatsApp. Good luck with that.

So the most liable option to substitute WhatsApp is Signal, which has a somewhat big (not huge) user base, but the probability of that happening is slim to none.

Telegram is even more used than Signal but don't trust it for total privacy and its used for funny business.

Then coming in on 4th place, you have the rest like Matrix, Briar etc. You might get your best friend to use it, but that's about it.

Yeah, I was talking about external harddrives and sticks.

That's what I do on my external drive. Used to use Windows so bitlocker it was with NTFS.

Now on Linux I just use it normally as its recognized without any problem.

I'm sure as hell not gonna erase my data to inplant veracrypt just for the sake of it.

For future drives, veracrypt it is.

If being cheap is a priority, I suggest getting a Steam Deck, it's designed for gaming (unlike budget laptops) and it's a PC.

You can get a Legion 5 Pro with a 3060 and SSD 512GB for cheaper than a Steam Deck 512GB in my country, so I can't say its a cheaper than a gaming laptop.

Hahaha, .biggun is more appropriate.

As we can see this in battlestations all the time and of course the American flag and the Texas flag on the wall.

Problem with Navidrome is it organizes your music by the idtags. So if they are not in perfect order you will have a fragmented music collection. Which in turn ruins the experience.

I recommend either Airsonic or the lightweight and fast Polaris that are folder based music players (both run in Docker)

Thanks for that kind sir!

What hypervisor are you using for windows in Tumbleweed for GPU pass though?

The Epic logout issue is fixed now!

They also offer other things like a search engine which is not opensource, which is understandable for a business perspective.

But I don't know. I just don't have a good feeling about Brave.

Also, I prefer Firefox based browsers on desktop, we need competition in the browser space.

On mobile, the chromium based browsers are just to superior in performance to switch from.

I read ya.

I was always skeptical about Brave with their side projects of crypto etc. Its funny because privacytools.io recommends them till this day.

I have been using Librewolf for some time now and I am happy with it.

I'm still in the Early days of Linux and I had trouble twice with other distros before.

I think third time is the charm. Still I have been bitten before so I'm holding on to Windows for a while just to play it safe.

I am daily driving Linux though, I hardly use windows. But I need a working computer so I can always fall back to Windows if all else fails.

Exactly what I have done too.

Switched to Lemmy and to Linux Desktop.

Dual booting Windows 10 probably until it stops receiving security updates, then all in on Linux.
