Or Onlyoffice

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.)

Currently using plasma mobile on a 16 year old thin client and media PC, its working flawlessly

If you look at it logically, it only makes sense.

With these Supercomputers, you often run on very specialized Hardware which you have to write costum kernels and drivers for, and if you arent willing to spend millions to get Microsoft to support it, your only other Option is Linux really

GNOME network monitors exists.

SearXNG is not a search engine. It is a Frontend for everything from Google to bing.

Ah, finally someone using the European open Search index?

Just saying

The steam deck was 600€

The steam Maschine is 4x faster

I think your math dosent math

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.

I could really love where in the article this study is.

TL;dfc

(Too long, didnt fucking care)

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

Fastmail.

Great, but when kbigscreen.

I need a decent Chromecast replacement

This.

For Years, you had the Option to use Linux. Since the release of the win 11 beta, Linux has not made any relevant big steps. The leopards have simply decided to eat your face this time.

A refugee would be someone losing their home in a bombing. A windows 10 turned Linux user is more like a Trump voter turned no kings protestor because he though sending the government emails will sure stop the anti trans laws.

And no, sOmE uSeRs hAvE tO uSe WinDoWs is not an argument. If everyone who was still on windows until now was reliant on it, why are they installing and switching to Linux? Every new Linux user is someone who was simply too ignorant to install it.

I still can’t believe millions of functioning hardware will be destroyed for this shit.

My mate,

half of my Network setup is currently running on 2 Fujitsu Futro S920s from over 20 Years ago, with 4 Gigs oft RAM and 8 Gigs of Memory, which I got thrown at for 10€ a piece. By how much Metal is in that thing, It would have been better for him to just recycle the 1,3kg of Steel and throw away the 10x10cm PCB in it. If some madman from eBay has hoarded that thing for years just for me, it won’t be different in 10 years for the next 100% certified autist stepping in my footsteps.

These PCs won’t be destroyed. The amount of 12 year old Autistic trans IT Linux evangelists^tm will just increase exponentially.

Ubuntu Pro is free for up to 5 machines.

Ubuntu pro Costs handing over your Data to a company.

And if the whole concept of getting extra security updates for unsupported packages really bothers you

And if it Bothers you that a company actually supports the packages it is making availible…

No, Ubuntu pro brings faster Security updates, even for still supported apps.

is the only difference the syntax ? How libraries interact? How disks are mounted ?

Ah, yes.

You know, the things you just mentioned ARE the basic differences. As long as both work on the same architecture, and none reinvent the wheel, everything is the same.

And as long as you don’t reinvent the computer and make a new assembly and binary, a kernel and libraries will be the most effective ways to work.

Its like saying „what is the difference between python and c++ anyway? If we just strip away everything differentiating the 2, we just get a programming lang.

And yes, I would prefer Linux, for the same reason a python Dev prefers python and a C++ Dev prefers C++: because I’m Used to the syntax and the quirks of Linux. I don’t want to jump back to the ungodly CLI of cmd, powershell and everything else. I have learned the ins and outs of Linux, and that’s how its gonna stay.

It does not.

You can install a Sandboxed Version of it, but not more

Please tell me, where I can enable Seedvault or another local backup service without having to root my phone first or use apps like shiziku.

YES, I HAVE to use Murena services in order to back up my /e/ is phone without compromising security via root or shizuku. Prove me wrong, and send me a fucking video about it.
