I have play services on one profile on mine. It’s working fine for me too. Must not apply to everyone. Not sure why but I’m not complaining lol

This only applies to people on the stock rom? Or?
I’m using graphene and not having any problems with my device.
How the hell can you be a chain smoker and run a marathon?!
I have beach front property for sale on the Las Vegas strip for anyone who buys this…
Btw I’d still use mint…I only switched away because I wasn’t a big fan of how much it looked like windows and how green everything was. Lol. But I was still a noob at the time and hadn’t fully comprehended how customizable Linux distros are. I could’ve changed a lot with the appearance if I knew what I was doing
Honestly. I don’t think you’re missing much. It’s not like if you go to a different distro suddenly you’re going to have all these new applications you can’t get on mint or anything.
I started with mint and played around with other distros (mostly Debian/Ubuntu & Arch based ones) and I ended up settling on an Ubuntu based distro with kde desktop.
Using something like Arch might make sense if your PC is super new as they tend to have support for the newest hardware.
At most you might want to try a different desktop environment but if you have no reason to hop I would say don’t waste your time unless you’re bored and want to experiment just for the hell of it.
there’s a site that will let you play around with different distros/desktop environments over the Web (it’s going to be slow and you can’t use a VPN when connecting) but that might be a good choice before going through the trouble of downloading a distro, flashing to USB and possibly installing it on your PC/laptop just to find out you hate it.
In my experience I’ve noticed Linux tends to (disproportionately) attract both libertarians and socialists/communists. I feel like I run into more of both within the Linux community than I do in other communities.
I started using Linux because I couldn’t force myself to use Windows 8. Up to that point I used whatever version of Windows came right before the graphical interface but 8 was too awful so I started playing with mint and never went back…
I got off the capitalism train in the middle of that but that was only because I decided to major in business and when I saw how the sausage was made I jumped ship but I didn’t know anything about socialism or communism or marxism or whatever you want to call it. I was so not into politics or economics that I literally had to search the Internet and ask people on social media what was an alternative to the crap I was reading for my classes… And then I went down that rabbit hole. If was enlightening. I learned a lot.
Also… for people who think college is Marxist indoctrination…Marx was brought up for one paragraph in one book at the very very end of my 4 years. But by that point I already knew who he was just from the rabbit hole I went down when I was curious for some alternative to what I was being taught.
Oh. I didn’t realize that OP was in Germany.
I might be in the minority but I actually like the camera visor more than what Samsung does because Samsung phones never sit flat. There’s a small wobble because the camera is on one side. At least with the pixel camera visor the phone doesn’t do that when you set it down on a flat surface. If anything it very slightly tilts the phone towards you. Not as extreme but it reminds me of a keyboard the way it’s slightly titling the keys towards you to make typing easier.
Swappa.com is the place to go. You can find them new in the box there for less than the Google store or if you’re willing to go used they’re even cheaper. Plus you have PayPal protection as a buyer. I’ve bought and sold phones on there since like 2014 (I think I’ve bought 8-9 phones and sold roughly the same amount on there without any issues)
Honestly it’s kind of shocking this didn’t happen sooner. Idk how people follow Jesus and then say, “those homeless people sleeping under that bridge are drug addicts and bums. They’re getting exactly what they deserve because they don’t want to work” and the general glorification of “free market” capitalism to the point of arguing not all people are worthy of things like healthcare or food.
To me it just never seemed compatible with their religion and if you look to South America there’s a strong correlation between socialism/communism and Christianity/Catholicism… Nicaragua is a fine example of this. (See image) “Christianity, socialism, solidarity” is what it says.
I think it’s likely updates. The phone was originally built with an earlier version of the OS in mind. Just a guess. I feel like this happens to all my phones eventually.
Fwiw I have an old s21 fe version that I still play with (I have a pixel 8 now) and it feels more sluggish than it used to.
Ironically it’s the financial facilitators of the US defense industry that need targeted. These cocksuckers find a money laundering scheme every few years that results in mass death and destruction (usually totally unabated).
But they are paying you for it. Not for your time specifically but for your distance. Idk if you read the article but highest tier is 130% of your base salary.
56% of my gaming was just one game: Streets of rogue.
But you’re right there’s plenty of games I bought that I didn’t play very much. I hate it when I realize I don’t actually want a game but it’s outside of the window to return it for a refund 🙃
I’ve been using dark mode since dark mode was a thing. Even on LCD screens (although I try to avoid buying devices with LCD when possible/affordable)
Light mode is annoying to me now. I can’t use it .
Reading the comments it’s pretty clear we have a lot of mainstream media enjoyers in the house
If you want to save money on a pixel I’d recommend taking a look at swappa(dot)com Even if you don’t want a used one they do have people selling pixels new sealed in the box for usually pretty good deals. I think the cheapest new in box option is a pixel 6a. Or 6 pro.
You can also find new pixel 7, 7 pro, the 8 and the 8 pro.
I’ve been buying and selling devices there for years and never had a problem as a buyer or a seller.
I went with Nvidia and I never really had any issues on Linux with it (I only use Linux).
AMD might be better on Linux out of the box in the sense that you can just install whatever distro and it’s going to work and with Nvidia some distros will require to install the drivers yourself or tinker one time in the terminal but it’s really not that big of a deal
But go with whatever you think is best for you.
