Thanks for adding this! I had this installed a while ago but when I got a new phone I couldn't remember what it was called and couldn't find it. I clicked on this post specifically to see if it was on here, and was happy to find these games again!

It's so unfortunate that eventually everyone just copies each other to the point that they lose the features that made them unique, and the market ends up flooded with phones from different manufacturers that are essentially all the same.

I really like OnePlus, but they're slowly getting rid of everything that makes them stand out from the competition for me.

for example, on a linux distro, we could modify the desktop environment and make it waaaaay lighter by getting rid of jpg or png icons and just using pure svg on it.

Isn't that how it already works? GNOME system icons are all SVG - that's what allows them to change colors when you change themes or switch between light and dark mode.

This website was a great resource when I was shopping for one. They are based in Canada but ships to the US where I am so I ended up buying from them as well.

I'm very happy with my OnePlus 12. I'd recommend looking into them as an option.

Running this command was the only thing required for me to get access to the com ports. After that, everything worked perfectly.

sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER

(note that $USER is part of the command - do not replace that with your actual username)

 

I currently have a Dell laptop that runs Windows for work. I use an external SSD via the Thunderbolt port to boot Linux allowing me to use the laptop as a personal device on a completely separate drive. All I have to do is F12 at boot, then select boot from USB drive.

However, this laptop is only using 1 of the 2 internal M.2 ports. Can I install Linux on a 2nd M.2 drive? I would want the laptop to normally boot Windows without a trace of the second option unless the drive is specified from the BIOS boot options.

Will this cause any issues with Windows? Will I be messing anything up? For the external drive setup, I installed Linux on a different computer, then transferred the SSD to the external drive. Can I do the same for the M.2 SSD – install Linux on my PC, then transfer that drive to the laptop?

Any thoughts or comments are welcome.

Edit: Thank you everyone! This was a great discussion with a lot of great and thoughtful responses. I really appreciate the replies and all the valuable information and opinions given here.

 

Here's a few that I know of. What other things are commonly running Linux that most people may but be aware of?

  • Ingenuity (helicopter drone on Mars)
  • Smart TVs and streaming devices (Samsung's TizenOS and Roku devices)
  • Smart appliances (Samsung's smart refrigerator)
  • Digital signs and billboards
  • My car stereo (Sony XAV-AX6000)
  • The Large Hadron Collider
  • FAA Air traffic control and radar systems
  • Self driving cars
 

I know the correct answer is to stop using Facebook, but there's a couple communities I follow for certain updates I can't get anywhere else.

Is there a good third party open source app for Android?
