I've been using GrapheneOS for a couple years now, both with and without the Google compatability apps. I vastly prefer without, but I'm lucky in that my credit union's app will function without Google.

Bring back Linux Mint KDE

"Just pretend it's always been Linux" is a bold move. I salute 12-year-old you o7

Yeah, I unfortunately didn't know about the "Nvidia hates Linux" thing when I bought this laptop. I guess I know better for next time.

Garuda might be worth a try. I used it for a couple months and really enjoyed it, I only stopped because Nvidia drivers kept breaking.

EponymousBosh , 5 months ago to Linux in (Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

My least favorite is Linux Lite. It's supposed to be a lighter, simpler version of Ubuntu but I don't think it accomplishes this at all. It's very slow for something that's supposed to be lightweight, and still includes Snaps, which are also very much not lightweight. Plus its software center is just bad, which is not great for something that's marketed at Linux noobs. Linux Mint XFCE or SpiralLinux are better options for a Linux noob who needs a lighter distro, IMO.

An improvement I'd suggest: obviously, ditch Snaps. Another would be to take a look at what Bodhi Linux does and have the "software center" run in the browser. I don't know how good this is security-wise, but it definitely speeds things up from the UX side of things.

Changed the gender. Kind a pain in the ass but totally worth it.

Halloween is a Christian holiday.

EponymousBosh , 1 year ago to DeGoogle Yourself in What mobile OS do you use?

Also GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6a. I know it's ironic but Graphene has worked really well for me.

EponymousBosh , 1 year ago to Asklemmy in People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling?

In the US, the only time you'd have to boil water before drinking in most places is if there's something wrong with the water system and they put out a "boil water" advisory, and that's pretty rare. It's definitely not something you have to on a daily basis. Some people will use water filters but it's not usually a necessity.
