Yeah, sure, at a really slower pace than USA. Maybe in a century. They still care more for their citizens Trump ever did.

Can’t say anything for professional use, but debian is rock solid, always a strong choice for servers.

Thanks for the pointers. For the hardware, I have a 9070 XT with 16 Gb of VRAM. It’s sure that it can be very expensive. As I only do this as a hobby, I don’t want to pay that amount of money. I’m okay with having a slow llm as it wouldn’t be a tool I’d use often. I prefer to try doing things on my own and use the ai to help for little tasks first, such as checking why this one line of code didn’t want to work correctly or things like that.

Thanks, I’ll dig into this. BTW, I have a 9070 XT, with 16 Gb VRAM, so it should do the job I guess.

Personally, I would like to use AI, but I don’t due to it being non local. I know there are local AI that could do things, but I don’t know which models are the good one for each task. If someone can give me pointers for it, I’d be grateful, for exemple a good model for local coding :)

It was already debunked. A single french tabloid (not true journal) featured why graphene was used by criminals. It’s not the government that was specifically targetting it by all means it had.

I’m waiting for fluxer development personnaly

I don’t know about your specific use case, but sometimes, app not installed via play store don’t like it. You could try to install it via play store and see if that works.

Which Europeans need WhatsApp?

It’s there since long enough to know that, if privacy was on their roadmap, it would already be there. That’s my point of view, but I haven’t take a look at their stance about it, it might be in the works, I just don’t know.

As other said, arch may not be for you. But I would recommend looking at KDE Neon too, it’s Debian based, with KDE as desktop environment, which is nice coming from windows. Whenever you encounter installation instructions about ubuntu, you can do the same on it, when with Fedora or arch you’ll be left alone figuring out how to install your stuff.

And my biggest advice is: take notes of what you do on your computer. EG, how did you install x our y software (Flatpak, command line, .deb package etc), which commands or software where useful for X problem. It will help you troubleshoot later or uninstall things you don’t remember his you installed them first, basically learn how linux works.

Right, it’s still in dev. But could be something to look at, in the future.

Personally, I have a GUI-less server that is connected to my lan running jellyfin server and an nvidia shield plugged to the TV with an alternative launcher to get rid of ads. That way, the server consumption is low and always on and you get a good interface and a remote for the TV.

If you really want a Linux device plugged to the TV, you could look into Plasma Bigscreen, a KDE made for TV.

Actually not the first tri-folded phone, but OK

As I said, I have no single Google apps and this work. I just don’t have tts and voice recognition, but one can easily do without, furthermore if you have someone by your side that can reply for you or you can wait a break to reply to messages. I have apps to have the map, my music, my podcasts, my audiobooks, all available on my car interface which is enough for me.

I’m on graphene is, but I use android auto without any google apps. I use magic earth for the maps, but you can use many other map app like organic maps or even osmand. The only things I’m missing is the speech recognition, so I can’t reply to messages and the text-to-speech, so I can’t hear them while driving. Well, maybe some day I’ll find an alternative to the Google apps for this, but until then, I prefer to do without it.

A privacy site which wants to collect and sell data, looks fishy…

Encrypt it yourself :)

You can use https://www.swisstransfer.com/ from infomaniak, it’s privacy respecting, or https://lufi.ethibox.fr/

Never had a problem with phone calls. For me, graphene always worked just like a regular android phone but without bloatware.
