e/OS is miles behind GrapheneOS and even CalyxOS. I see no reason to go that route if you’ll be much better served by any modestly modern Pixel phone and GrapheneOS.

I just told my wife she’s going to have to share now🤣

You give the info, and then a link to the source? There’s still hope for humanity 😉

I love how this went from “.deb” to “Mullvad VPN repo configuration” 🤣

I’m already married, but, would you marry me? I’m guessing you’re probably very useful to have around.

Funny how that’s the case for most people 🤣

I would say that I RTFM about 75% of the times (give or take). Though I only do it to see if I can find something other than what I intended to use the software or hardware for.

You have plenty of options. I use Unraid because I bought it before it became a subscription. But I have a friend running Fedora server with Cockpit and running everything from docker containers. The options are endless. ProxMox is a great choice.

For Android, Davx5 plus JTX board, and you’re set. Just use the contacts, calendar, tasks and journals apps you feel comfortable with. I use Etar calendar, for example.

I just use Syncthing with versioning, and that’s how I manage all my files and their versions.

That alone is a document management and file versioning system without the overkill of Nextcloud (which is debatable).

Jellyfin. I’ve been waiting for Plex to do this for years. Enshitification is everywhere.

You asked for a podcast client, so here’s AntennaPod.

I have it on auto backup and share the backup with all my other devices over Syncthing.

No need to self-host anything.

Any distros with Plasma or Cinnamon as it’s DE will do the trick. Linux Mint is a good starting choice.

In my case, I tinker quite a bit when I’m bored, and immutable distros, as well as atomic distros, raise barriers that I’d rather not have to jump over to have my fill of tinkering.

This started happening to my wife and me in 2 separate AMD computers about 3 months ago on Fedora 41,for no apparent reason.

I ended up switching to PopOS and my wife went back to Windows (she was dual booting).

We both came back to Fedora as soon as 42 was live, and have had no issues (yet).

We both use Fedora Workstation on Mutter, not i3, so could have been a different situation.

I’m not French, never been to France, but this is a little step in the right direction. We should be happy and celebrate every one of these little steps. If nothing else, this makes some noise and starts turning heads towards more privacy friendly software.

Thanks for this. I wish more of us posted resources like this one more often.

Thanks so much. This is really in-depths.

This blows my mind, honestly. Since I moved to Linux about 8 years ago, I’ve had little to no issues. No force of nature can ever make me go back to Windows and it’s constant crashing for no reason. I run PopOS on a PC, Fedora Workstation on my laptop, my wife is also in Fedora, kids too (Nobara), and everything works. Mind you, the only device that is “made for Linux” is my laptop.

Your experience is very out of the ordinary.

Wao, this is not bad at all. I wonder how it behaves as a daily driver. It would probably be easy for me to adopt as I don’t have a single mainstream app in my phone at all.

My experience has been the polar opposite of yours. Of course, depends on the dock and TV as much as it depends on the deck, so our mileage will vary.
