Phosh is good, very lightweight. Plasma is good, I have used it on a touch laptop. Never tried Plasma Mobile.

That whole community is just one guy posting memes. Some are funny but mostly its just odd how much he hates Linux.

Whatever :)

Awesome stuff. I’m still hoping to see more HDR related fixes since that still isn’t working for me. This other stuff is still great to see, though.

Dotfiles are handled by GNU Stow and git. I have this on all my devices.

Projects like in git.

Media is periodically rsynced from my server to an external drive.

Been meaning to put all my docker-composes into git as well…

I don’t back up too much else.

Currently using GNOME with PaperWM and its pretty nice.

Geary on mobile, Thunderbird on desktop.

I feel like there is an alternate reality where I use micro. I remember getting excited when it was first announced, then I just never really needed it.

I feel like I am the only person not super-jazzed about Cosmic.

If people are excited or want to use it, fine. But I don’t know what it could possibly add to the mix besides offering mote DE choice, and Linux already has a lot of that.

There’s only like 10 minutes of actually typing commands.

Without watching this, the premise sounds very stupid.

I’m still running 4.20.0 like a gangster

I sincerely hope that this goes to the moon and back. Both for selfish reasons (I love my L5 but I really want Crimson) but also just for the Linux phone ecosystem.

Mobian and PostmarketOS are doing wonderful work, though.

My understanding is that due to X11’s design, all running GUI apps can “see” all the other apps. If you’re running a malicious program in X11, it can easily snoop what else you are doing, log your keystrokes, etc.

Wayland solves this through better design.

Thunderbird, much like Firefox, is the best because it’s the least bad.

Yes, sorry, just realized.

Hopefully most of the patches and tweaks that were put in to Gallium are all mainlined now so all regular distros can benefit.

I had a good experience with GalliumOS on an x86 Chromebook years ago: https://galliumos.org/

I eventually switched it to run Arch but I will admit that it had WAY better support/stability with the touchscreen/touchpad on Gallium than with Arch.

Edit: I just looked at the news page and realized it does not look to be actively maintained now.

Come try our pizza, it’s #1 in the country

For apps, Bottles. For games, Lutris is quite good. Bottles can do both but I am partial to Lutris for games.

I have seen it mentioned elsewhere, such as https://www.phoronix.com/news/Plasma-6.1-Last-Minute-Features.

I’m weirdly excited about password-less lockscreens.
