As long as the powers that be are willing. Absolutely.

I certainly hope that is true.

Hate to break it to ya but Google will make your Linux phone mostly useless in the not so distant future.

Recaptcha will make sure of that.

I too would love a Linux phone but I am not convinced they will ever be good enough. Not for technical reasons, but for Google reasons.

It’s a good video covering the good and bad.

I would give it a go if I could get my hands on a compatible phone here in Canada.

Same. I grab 1080p for pretty much everything. There’s not enough of a visual difference to go with 4k file sizes, especially with storage prices being what they are.

Only had to go to the hardware store once? You had me there for a bit but that’s not possible.

Absolutely. I have no love for Red Hat as a company. My first Linux distro was Red Hat 6. I want to love Fedora for purely nostalgic reasons.

Systemd adding the birthdate field to the user info is definitely troubling. It shows which way the wind is blowing for sure. I should have stated that I am MORE concerned about the AI takeover in the immediate. I am by no means dismissing the systemd concerns.

I’m tempering the systemd thing as I do feel it is somewhat getting blown out of proportion. Though I did try some non systemd distros in a VM over the last week.

A bigger issue for me is this push to embrace AI. It seems all the American tech companies are jumping on board and Red Hat is no exception.

I want to love Fedora but this is the last straw for me.

Essentially any distro with funding primarily from US tech companies is going to go to shit. It’s only a matter of time.

I do run EndeavourOS on my main PC and it’s pretty great. I have not seen any statement regarding their position on the age attestation crap. I’ll jump ship if they come out in favour of it. I just hope they do not.

I have an old netbook that ran win10 poorly. I have since put Debian on it and it’s been great.

I am using Fedora Server edition on my home server and EndeavourOS on my main. I see no reason to change that.

If I had to choose only one I would go with stable first.

You can start with Tkinter since it’s a standard python library. Here’s a tutorial to get you started.

I recently watched Twisted Metal and it was pretty darn good. Who doesn’t love cars with guns?
