He got mad at me and much of his community over concerns about decisions he was making for "block game". We stated our concerns kindly and politely, and he got mad and deleted an entire discord channel because we didn't agree with him and made good points that he couldn't refute. I lost all respect for him after that.

Ah I haven't tried unlocking the bootloader so I can't help you there. I hope it's possible because this is such a good phone for small phone lovers.

I was rocking an S22 for a while too and almost bought one of these. I have up on the S22 because of a few restrictions related to android versions.

Now I'm using the razr 2024 and LET ME TELL YOU. It's so good. It's a vertical flip phone but it has a square screen on the exterior. Now let me tell you my secret. I never open the phone. I never need to. Almost. But it makes the phone a mega-compact. It's not perfect but it's the closest thing to a "small smartphone" that I've been able to achieve and better for me than something like the S22. I highly recommend trying it out. It's also very cheap.

Don't get the fancy version, just the standard razr 2024.

In Cyberpunk 2077, I'm fairly certain most cars float. Correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't played in years.

If that's the case, that manhole cover is just fine.

The people concerned this much with privacy are certainly less than 2%. They're already in a niche market for the purpose of privacy. Not that much of a leap to support Linux (which by the way is likely higher than 2% of their user base.)

Because it's all built in. Proton password manager can create a new login for a site. In the same process it also generates a password, creates a new email with a domain that can't be linked back to me, with no setup on my end. Technically I can set up bitwarden to do that but it's a lot of configuration and it will end up using my domain for every email which, even if it can't be linked back to me, all of my email addresses can be linked to each other by merit of using the same domain.

Until there is a major competitor to Proton that solves all of that, there is no alternative.

None of these incorporate email aliases automatically with a password manager

I've been using it for half a year and it's great. I rarely even open it. I use all phone functions from the top touch screen.

It satisfies the "small phone" market that no manufacturer caters to. It's so compact and easy to hold without being a "dumb" flip phone. Full utility is always a flip away, but it turns out you don't need that utility for most things.

I don't really need to do anything that requires a double sized screen, I use my computer for stuff like that.

Edit: I actually don't have any nostalgia for flip phones. I had one, but I hated it because it was fiddly and hard to use, I preferred the brick phones or sliding phones. So that doesn't play a part in this phone at all. My "perfect" phone would be a nearly square phone like the razr 2024 but without the interior screen, but only if it supported all apps in that format. It's close now, but maybe 1 out of every 30 apps just doesn't work at all on the outer screen so I have to open it.

If I could have a small, square phone with a double sized battery or something so it was the same thickness as a closed razr 2024, it would be the perfect phone. Small, out of the way, but still lets me get done what I need to get done. Not for consuming media, but for utility.

Damn, another vertical fold. Still waiting for a horizontal fold a la the razr 2024

Me unbinding the mysterious functions that share the key "I'll worry about that once I know what that even means"

What is the punchline in this meme? Or is it just a statement stuck onto a stock photo that you're considering to be a meme? I come here to laugh.

The mark of a good game.

 

It is a Ford e-transit. Huge white empty sides. I enjoy the plainness of it, but am open to putting something interesting on the sides/back.

I will implement my favorite idea without fail.

It's for transporting my disabled mother around, but also for personal use. (I am too tall for normal cars so this will be my only vehicle)

Edit: There are so many good suggestions. My current favorites are some sort of grand fantasy mural or the mystery machine (possibly with mystery replaced with my last name that also starts with an m and has the same amount of letters), or that 90's jazz pattern.

I am as well. It is time to play some video games and eat a piece of raw cookie dough.

I moved to a house (my first) recently and we bought full size chocolate bars and beef jerky sticks to give out (in case someone doesn't want chocolate).

Not a single child came. I didn't see or hear anyone under 20 the entire night. We all stayed out on the porch for hours.

The only chocolate bar we gave out was to the pizza lady.

Does nobody trick-or-treat? We have kids in the neighborhood. I see them rising bikes during the day.

How was everyone else's Halloween?

Edit: We got one! Long after trick or treating hours were over, a little cowboy knocked on our door. I gave him like 5 candy bars and 2 jerky sticks. He was very happy. His dad stopped in a car and he got out to knock on our door. I reckon it had to do with the fake neon LED "trick or treat" sign we hung on the porch.

 

Edit: Tumbleweed and bazzite are currently the most attractive options based on what I've learned from the comments. I will trial run those and 1 or 2 others.

I am currently on Pop OS.

I am dissatisfied with the DE/UI and I've been playing with others but half the point of this distro is it's custom UI. So I figured I would try another. I have several criteria that may narrow it down.

  1. I am going to use KDE or KDE Plasma (preferred). This is the only non-negotiable criteria.

  2. I will be gaming. This means I would like relatively up to date kernel and software. Rolling or semi-rolling releases are preferred.

2.5. I also work from this pc. This mainly entails using discord and Firefox though so no special requirements. I do have 4 different sized monitors with 3 different refresh rates that I use for work. Only one for gaming. One is vertical. I can tell I'm pushing x to its limits with that setup.

  1. I would prefer Debian-based as that is what I'm used to and because .deb packages are so common.

  2. I don't want it to be a ton of effort to set up. Pop OS worked out of the box with my Nvidia GPU and all other hardware. I am willing to put in some effort though.

  3. I have been using and very much like apt and flatpak. This is not a requirement, just an observation.

  4. Wayland is neat

  5. Active community with lots of support to search through. Pop OS has been good for this as it's Ubuntu based and has its own great community.

Ultimately I want an easy to use desktop OS that uses some sort of KDE, supports up to date packages and drivers, supports most games and isn't a pain to maintain.

Here are some contenders that fit at least some of my requirements.

KDE Neon user edition

Opensuse tumbleweed

Kubuntu

Endeavor OS

Debian

Manjaro

Bazzite

Mint Debian edition

Right now I'm leaning toward KDE Neon, Kubuntu, or Debian (whatever the rolling release version is), but the others all have their draws. I've heard the aur is great but I have come across several applications only available in website downloads of Deb packages so I'm hesitant.

I have been using pop as my first desktop distro after Windows and I've enjoyed it a lot. I barely run into anything I can't solve with some effort and headache and not a single game I can't play. I'd like to keep it that way.

Now that that's out of the way, does anyone have suggestions? Am I looking in the wrong direction? Am I asking the wrong questions? Should I just install arch, live in the terminal, and throw away my mouse? /s

Thank you all for your advice in advance.

I am bad at the game, and I often fly my ships too fast towards a space station and can't stop in time. I've never heard that warning and NOT blown up seconds afterwards.
