kinda like it been using as chromium alternative to my daily driver librewolf.

reminds me of brave but has no brave bullshit and pretty minimalist.

I usually go with the Halloween Papers when It comes to ethics.

And if a FOSS project turns into shit a fork will come up.

One perfect example was simple apps acquisition. New owners turned it a ad ridden mess, fossify apps fork came to the rescue.

Ubuntu and Linux Mint are ideal for people who just want to ignore the OS and get work done.

If you are a Dev you should be clear of such problem, unless you need a very specific tool, but, many people can’t switch because the programs they work with are not supported on Linux. Take a look into that, and in the worst case scenario you can dual boot windows.

Gaming wise proton is a bless and let’s you play most games, check protonDB for compability. Major portion of the games that don’t work are due to crappy anticheat solutions.

Good luck, any other questions feel free to ask.

Yeah done anything with it over 1.5 ~ 2 years, on top of that NFC does not work at all in many cases.

Yeah I regreted buying one . . . works great on PC though.

Not fat tux, huggable tux.

Most of my teachers either used MacOS or Ubuntu very few times I saw Windows but again my studies were in computer science so a bit of a bias.

Yeah let’s just say that android 4.x isn’t that great.

Could try to flash a custom ROM with a more up-to-date version of android but the 1GB of ram would not help.

Going for the minimal solution with KOreader and Alpine/PostMarketOS might be the best way to bring this buddy back to an useful state.

Will try to fix this later, but if not, might cross post, thx for the tip.

mmm I am now reading on the whole shbangle related to AppImages, will switch to flapak. Been trying for now to get a simple echo to work will address the rest later. Gotta get back to it tomorrow, thanks for the warning !!!

Haven’t used openrc in a while, but greetd is present and set as default when list the services, rc-update.

Updates I can ssh into the thing since WiFi is working and turn off I use the power button might have to change some devrules because now it’s long press is mapped to reboot a single nothing, but that should be about it.

* Yeah cage is an Wayland kiosk, and for what I tested in my main machine runs KOreader with no problem and should have a virtual keyboard.

QT ( free edition ) is FOSS and can only be used in FOSS projects, it’s under LGPL license.

If you want to do proprietary stuff you got a QT comercial version and extra tooling to go along with, which you gotta pay a license.

source

The Qt framework is dual-licensed, available under both commercial and open-source licenses.

About KDE nothing weird to see there.

I make a few donations every year totalling 20€ in january, not much, but maybe one day I can give more, or contribute in other ways.

I think they are both fine,

I like that tuta is doing just one thing, ( ignoring the new storage feature ), and trying it’s best at it.

Proton is going to more of a google approach, however the nonprofit goal they just set is pretty awesome.

I got the tuta’s, now non-existent, premium plan, and am using simplelogin relays to protect it. No plan in changing the setup.

Nowadays proton owns simplelogin and I think it offers it’s services to customers, a couple bucks cheaper than my impossible setup, so protonmail it’s probably the best option nowadays.

There is no doubt that AMD is a better company than NVIDIA in OSS terms.

But don’t simp for a company, vote with your wallet and always look for the best and consumer friendly product.

For now, not gonna lie AMD is pretty rad, but I hope next generation Intel GPUs are competitive.
