I've told this story on here before, but here it is again: I used to write for a very Windows-centric computer magazine, and after a couple of years I noticed that most of the content I was writing was about how to make Windows behave less like Windows. So I thought I'd give Linux a go, and I haven't looked back since. I've had phases when I tried convincing all my friends to make the switch, but I've realized that it's just not for everyone. I don't think I'm obsessed, I don't customize my desktop much, I just want my system to work smoothly.

They don't look the same though. I've only been to the Murena website and looked at their "phone 2", that's not the same hardware as Fairphone.

Edit: okay, I should have scrolled down a bit more. It looks like they made a " Murena Fairphone" too, where they've given a Fairphone the Murena treatment.

Murena phones are basically Fairphone with /e/OS

One of the main features of Fairphones is that they are easily repairable - it doesn't look like Murena has done anything to make it easier to fix.

Perhaps Fairphone?

Perhaps "Contrast"? It's a gloomy puzzler with a good soundtrack, I would imagine it's quite engaging to watch as well as play.

One step at a time...

If you want a Linux handheld, why not buy a Steam Deck? What does this do better than the Deck?

Is the deer the Libreboot logo? Mine has a rabbit (Coreboot). I flashed Coreboot on my old Chromebook a couple of years ago and it's been running different flavours of linux since without any fuss.

That's a pretty nice bundle. The games I would want from that bundle are already in my collection, but if they weren't, I'd be all over it!

Amazing! OP Delivers!

Same here. I've been on Pop OS for the past three years with a GTX 980ti, and have only had a few driver issues that were easily fixed. There's usually a guide on how to fix it on System76's homepage soon after the issue is discovered. Generally I've been very happy running Pop on my gaming rig. I've tried other distros (Manjaro and Garuda) but Pop has been the one to stay installed the longest.

I'll be following your progress closely!

 

I've seen FFUpdater recommended a couple of times, but I'm unsure why you would need this updater if youve installed your browser from F-droid and update your apps regularly. Does FFUpdater do anything special?

 

I have noticed lately that a lot of users on Lemmy spell whining as "whinging" what's up with that? I could understand if it was misspelled "wining" or somthing but that extra g really confuses me. Is this a misspelling specific for some region or is it lingo of some sort?

 

Like many others I have a lot of content on itch.io amassed through some impressive bundles they've had in recent years. I'm looking for an easy way to browse and launch my itch.io games and it got me wondering why Heroic doesn't have itch.io implemented by default. It would seem an obvious choice.
