Then install log2ram to avoid constant writes to SD card. Or install DietPi instead of the stock OS, its installed automatically. Honestly DietPi just rocks for SBCs in general, good text UI and utilities.

7·11 months agoA distro with the Gnome desktop is where I would start. It has the best touch gestures and on screen keyboard. Gnome’s keyboard still could use some work however, and I would recommend you install “improved osk” if you intend to use it a lot. Cinnamon will work fine but it’s not as fancy…at least since I have last used it. (Its been a few years.)
I used to have some 2 in 1 HP x360 that I initially had Linux Mint on and it did work well. But then I tried PopOS out on it and I had to switch it over to that because of the touch screen gestures and an on screen keyboard that would automatically pop up when you activated a text field. I wouldn’t recommend PopOS right now if you want the latest and greatest Gnome updates, as it is a bit out of date since they are focusing on creating their own desktop. It’s still a solid choice though.
10·11 months agoYou can set custom DNS to block ads and whatnot on androids and most smart TVs AFAIK. It should just be a setting somewhere. I use
For TV you might need IP address in which case it’s 194.242.2.4.

Don’t worry, I watch neither TV shows nor movies. I would just rather do something else with my time, like programming stuff, learning something new, and playing video games. If I am stuck with nothing to do I will watch something on YouTube. I think I would rather watch content made by real people instead of studios if that make sense.
We keep our thermostat set to 64-65 during the winter time. Keeps the HVAC from running a lot. You just put on some cozy sweater, sweatpants and warm socks. During summer we keep the thermo higher, up to +10 more degrees.

And yet the stove top/oven will stay on forever without alerting you until you realize something is on fire.
Well if you’re on ATT or any of it’s mvno’s good luck ever using any devices that isn’t on their approved list. I can’t even use my carrier unlocked Oneplus 7T. Really the only choice for device freedom in the “land of the free” is T-Mobile.
I haven’t tried but Murena sells Fairphones to the US market but no release date announced it for it yet.
Always has been.
Not sure why Netflix wouldn’t be on the Aurora store. Anyway, I did use android TV on an OdroidXU4 for a few months. It worked well with an air mouse and made it work like a regular android TV. Only issue I had with it sometimes was getting it to wake up after being asleep for some time, but that issue could have been ROM+odroid (or air mouse) specific.
72·1 year agoWhy are Nazis the first thing you think about? You and many others on the internet. I need a filter that blocks any comment that has the word nazi.
2·1 year agoStill can’t unlock the bootloader on Samdung phones in North America even if carrier unlocked. So that is a non-starter for custom ROMs.
ZorinOS? I saw no talk of it here and I haven’t personally used it in a couple of years. It uses gnome and can be set to mimic the look of windows, mac, or just stock gnome. It looks super clean, modern and pro. It’s easy to use and based on ubuntu. It was a just works distro for me.
True, I wish people would stop posting about Reddit and Twitter. I don’t care about those platforms.
Surely gcam can be installed, i’m using gcam on a oneplus.
Open source vehicles when?
Im pretty sure there is a store, if I remember I think its called appimage pool.
11·1 year agoSet one of these providers as your private DNS in phone settings… if iOS allows it. I use the Mullvad. For the rest of you on android use FF+uBlock AND set your DNS.
Probably not, think of it as a different distro. It is Debian based, and supports many different SBCs and not just the RPi. https://dietpi.com/
