As someone trying to learn as much about Linux as possible, why specifically AMD? Does it have certain advantages with Linux?

That’s promising to hear! For the drivers are you using Open GPU?

I still have to look into the 1080s compatibility with this. Thanks OP for mentioning it.

Thanks! I am still very new to Linux and have been learning the OS through OpenSUSE on an old laptop. Still debating which Linux distro to switch to for the windows desktop (the one with the 1080)

Geforce GTX 1080

I am interested in Bazzite, but am unsure about its compatibility with NVIDIA GPUs. Had anyone here had experience with this?

For android mobile I use Ironfox.

Its a fork of the now discontinued Mull browser.

Thank you for the explanation! So essentially, you use your sim free phone as a very portable laptop.

I like the idea of having a sim free phone and have a feature phone for cellular service. I miss the aesthetic of flip phones! I would just need to find one that supports hotspot (just in case) and decent navigation.

I am thinking of switching to graphene as well, but this is the first I am hearing about the risks of having a sim card. Apologize for my ignorance, but how would you get service on a phone without at least an esim card? I’m also interested in a high level of privacy and anonymity (within reason).

I was going to try signal until I learned that it requires a phone number. So instead I started trying out SimpleX.
