HDR games is fucking baller on the steam deck. I'm legitimately thinking of switching to kde from sway so I can take advantage of it on my new OLED monitor.

I have a physical switch on my laptop. Physically disconnected USB device as far as Linux is concerned.
I'd love to ride a train to work. Play on my steam deck on the way home and not have to worry about getting stuck in traffic for hours. Visiting Washington DC and riding the metro everywhere ruined me, now I look at a five lane at road and say "This is bullshit!".
I think someone who tried to do that might just disappear in this day and age. Don't ask gen-z, we won't know.
Tbh it's not a bad price looking at what other phones are out at that price. Your looking at a great screen, awesome camera, ok battery life, and snappy enough performance for everyday stuff.
At the end of the day it's what you can afford and what you need. If you have a small repair shop nearby it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, see how expensive the repair might bee. If your current phone is fine then keep using it, if you need a phone on a budget I'd go used, anything new under $200 will most likely be worse than anything you can get used, and if you want something new that pixel 7a wouldn't be half bad tbh.
I know it sounds counter intuitive but the way Debian handles things makes it really easy to break things and not know how. All these scripts that automate tasks it's easy to try to change something manually and have a script that automatically runs break something.
It would help if their wiki wasn't so painfully slow. How is it possible to have a website so slow it times out after like ten minutes of loading.
I wish more bootloader's came unlocked these days. I got a Google pixel for that, the seven years of promised updates, and parts.
Though I think it would be cheaper to buy a used pixel 8 from eBay and the adhesive from ifixit if I end up braking the screen in a few years I'm more interested in being able to get a fresh battery without guessing if it was salvaged from a heavily used phone.
Edit: phones should be more like the laptops from the early 2000s damnit. I don't care if my phone is a little thicker than a pencil at least it'll hide the camera bump.
Honda pilot. I don't know how to answer vague questions.😅
A rebuild every x00,000 miles on a Toyota sounds nicer than paying the price of a new pilot every 100,000 miles tbh. Computers don't last though and emissions have made it a huge pain to fix on older cars. Nothing against emissions it's a necessary evil.
Imagine being able to opt into an long term support branch when you feel your phone starting to lag, unlocked bootloader's, and have user replaceable batteries.
Still mad about accidentally installing the newer version of iOS on my iPad pro. Such a meaningful feature to have security patches without slowdown from newer versions.
My first distro was arch btw. It's not hard if you approach it with a mindset to learn. That's the whole point of Linux anyway, it's a tool and the better you know your tool the more capable that tool becomes.
It's like a lathe with interchangeable parts and gears. You don't know what your doing it might throw some metal at you but it's also capable of crafting a precise and finely finished part in a short amount of time.
I also throw fedora on my laptop because laptops are an ergonomic nightmare. Plug and play is nice for when you don't have time to really learn your tools or do setup and just need any hammer to get the job done. You can still smack your thumb though, it's not a cordless drill with proprietary batteries like Macos or windows.
You can learn any workflow. Adobe Photoshop was pretty alien to me the first time I used it in school. The thing that made it easier was how good the documentation was on adobes website. I recommend anyone try krita to see if it works better for them.
I've heard it's not as feature rich as gimp but more people coming from Photoshop seem to like it.
