Are there any packages that can provide an out of box experience? Or can I use flakes for that?

Yeah, but I’ve had enough cleanup jobs when daily driving Gentoo amd64 branch, I want something OOB

Turn off the power supply, wait a minute, turn back on

Its not a Linux Problem, happens with MBS in general

EOS is in no way better than Google or others. It is a Google replacement. Not a google services alternative.

They, with their services, still collect just as much info about you, in non-encrypted ways. The moment e decides to sell your info, or lock you out or share it with authorities (just like how google did it), you can do nothing against it.

The permanent solution to not having your data raped through any means is not giving anyone your data in the first place (for example, encrypting it with a key only you have access to, like proton enables you to), in which category Murena is just as bad as google or any other shady data hoster.

Just a heads up, you have apparently never helped any stranger.

Once they know you can help for free, they will expect this of you all the time, for free.

And the questions will be infuriating as ever. If you want to try it, just go to a beginners forum like gutefrage or your equivalent shitposting site and just answer every question on linux. No skipping.

Trust me, or if you dont at least just get a second phone number for it so you dont have to migrate to a second one once you decided that it takes a way too big toll on your mental health

Theres this beautiful german word for it:

Lastschrift (Direct Bank transfer)

Ah yes

Because they are more private… You know, the banks that dont let you use GrapheneOS.

Just doing some TP math for you.

A xiamoi Redmi something something is about 130€. A pixel 8a is 370€ or a 9a 500€.

With the xiaomi, you are getting no security updates for more than a year. For a pixel 8a, you get 6 years and 7 with the 9a. Therefore, if you want to keep your phone up to date because your Banking app needs those to work, you are looking at about 65/71€ per year. Also, if you want to keep it longer, you can use it for longer, with the build quality and a battery change up to 10 years or so.

Also, anecdotally, those cheap phones are built like shit, run like shit, and you are genuinely better off buying a Samsung galaxy S7 and daily driving that. (Which I got when the S10 first came out, and BTW is still holding strong when I need a second phone in case I loose my pixel 7, after 6 years, unlike my huawei P30 which didn’t last a year until it started getting to 100°C when being on, and lagging to the point of being unusable.)

GNOME network monitors exists.

With enterprise grade LLM Hardware.

Now, if you dont intend on soldering 128 Gigs of dram on your rtx 2080, its not gonna be a big advantage to you

That wasnt a thing since 2015

Just because Theres a subscription service dosent mean its hardened

Read what I wrote. Its not hardened LINAEGEOS. Its linaege OS with a subscription based DNS blocker you get for free via adbock.

Reminder that the IodeOS and such are simply LinaegeOS forks with a bunch of propriatery shitty subscription services thrown in, and literally hinder the progress on costum Roms VS if they simply just made a PR to add the phone to Linaege.

TL;dfc

(Too long, didnt fucking care)

Just get the Linux mods to make a megathread like on c/piracy, and remove duplicates.

Education.

This is actually a pretty good parallel to programming

With an open source project, you gotta know how to clone a git repo and create a pull request

With such an advanced field as Physics, you need to have read other studies at a basic level. If you don’t know how to write a basic study, you clearly lack the intelligence to talk about such things at a professional level

Yep, thats it

grapheneos’ attacks on other groups

Where Attack? The worst Graphene ever did was say that they don’t support certain Phones like FP because they are not updating their OS to their liking

Are you gonna go to Qubes OS next and complain that they are attacking laptop manufacturers (don’t officially support Laptops because they don’t have an open source UEFI)?

Great, but when kbigscreen.

I need a decent Chromecast replacement

Thats what I mean, in the last few weeks/months, there was no big thing that win users needed to be able to switch.

Linux in a vacuum is a great OS, and what it cant do in the context of Windows is more a „Proprietary formats and software being Industry standard” problem than a Linux problem.

I’m not saying that everyone should just abandon the standards , but that if you need to have these standards, nothing is going to change in a production envoirment that magically makes Linux work for you (in home you can argue about VMs and proton, but that’s not a valid tactic for companies), and you need to keep using windows.

And the other way around, if you don’t need any of these standards, you don’t have any reason to still use Windows, except that you don’t want to change.
