I have heard that systemd is “heavier” than alternatives. I haven’t experienced that. I don’t think gaming is impacted at all.
I use openrc on Gentoo for desktop. It requires some script hooks for things that expect systemd, but works quite well. I don’t pay attention to it much, unless I’m writing an init script.
Bootloaders are locked. Think of the bios on a PC.
I just followed the handbook honestly. There’s one for ARM devices, but it’s not really necessary.
It took a LONG time to compile everything, so I don’t recommend it to those wanting a simple solution.
As for gaming? Who knows. We use the device for quick looking up of info, recipes (it stays in the kitchen), email, maybe a document or two.
Not sure how much power the Mali GPU has.
Yes, the source code gets compiled directly on the machine (or indirectly FOR the machine).
This, of course, assumes one can actually boot a kernel not developed specifically for the machine.
Some modern boot loaders / managers are locked (Asus does this a lot), so you’re stuck with whatever they put on the machine.
Gentoo supports ARM quite well (obviously), but I’m not sure what new hardware is out there that has an open enough firmware (or that can be flashed with coreboot) that will allow a Linux install.
Unfortunately all the carriers here (California - at least) have shut down their 3G networks.
I believe ubports are the only ones who have volte working besides jolla.
Are you getting volte on that? I have a 6t I’d love to try, but only if I can make phone calls.
If you say “also”, you generally don’t have to say “too”.
“Do women also have post nut clarity?”
Yes. Gentoo on an arm Chromebook. Plasma. Runs fairly well. Battery lasts forever.
Gentoo since 2004.
Why reinstall instead of just repairing the issue at hand?
We had to do that in Windows too.
Is this a specific MFA? There are open source authentication apps on fdroid.
Can you Venmo via browser?
Your last sentence provides the question; “why work at all?”
If you need the income, you seem to have a ready made route to that (even if you don’t like the supervisor).
If you don’t need the income, don’t work.
Script writers.
Sorry! 😜
This is the salient point that’s hard to communicate.
We’ve moved to fdroid and others because we’re trying to avoid the scammers on the Play Store.
Semantics, no? Side loading is an alternate way of installing.
Lord help us. Hopefully we can hear it again!
18 year old daughter just uttered “gnarly” tonight during a horror movie.
We were shocked!
Manny machines are not using EFI, or access is locked.
