Virtual machines are incredibly useful for this.
The first time I installed linux, I dual booted and never used linux because i just knew windows. The VM "Boxes" is incredibly easy to use. There's barely any reason to boot windows on metal :D
Same sized screens for the win 😄
I use paperwm, no idea if I could even handle two screens with it 😅
I agree linux can be very difficult but easy as well if you do not have "exotic" needs. If more people were using linux, especially more non techies, a lot would change but we'll get there just slowly.
to respond to your points
I initially thiught you meant that you had to use commands in order to tinker with the UI - that's my bad!
Wifi card, drivers, etc. can be a real pain. That's neither linux or your fault. It's just that noone prior to you wanted to use it and that's why it wasn't yet supported. Most systems are just plug and play. - compare it to macos, and you'll find that linux is easy to install on most systems.
Auto mount is done using fstab right. Yoz xna also auto mount from the file explorer of the disk utility, it always depends on the system. There are a lot of different things and it's not perfect.
Dual booting is in my opinion something for advanced people. I have no idea why anyone would ever suggest it to a newcomer! It's pain in the ass if you deviate from the standard protocol.
Xou can double click on a shell script (.sh) by chmod +x file.sh or > right click > properties > exe as program
Beginners usually do not have to do anything in terminal to adjust the system. Which desktop environment?
There isn't one united linux user frontend - would be cool if you'd state which one is not great.
I assume you talk about gsetting commands?
Thx, I don't need piped, I use a vpn
Haha, I just mean a bot that posts the peertube link instead of youtube just like the piped bot. It was a joke but it would be cool if there was one - but it should remind OP to post on peertube as well - probably a bad idea! 😅
Is there a peertube bot? 😅
You can do whatever you like.
Following are thoughts about it.
When I go to a POI and have a spare second, I check if it's up to date. You have to have your second phone with you at all times in order to do that.
When walking around and mapping the world, you have your phone in your hands. Usually it doesn't just fall down. In case, there are covers for the glass and the case which protect the phone.
For the price of the iphone you get an equally powerful android and a good side phone. It doesn't need to be powerful for mapping but it helps if it has good specs to show data in osmand. SC doesn't need too much ressources
That was like 15 years ago, wasn't it?
Which app do you use?
You can do it with following apps
