He also tried to execute him, but yeah, generally cool.

Vin-di-CATION!
I bought a Pixel 9 with the sole intention of putting Graphene on it. I wasn't massively down with giving Google money, but my provider offered it to me for £30, then £30 a month on contract. Can't argue with that.
If you have a Pixel, then GrapheneOS is the sensible choice. Not least because it currently only works with Pixels anyway.
One of the lads at work was freaking out because he had tickets to a festival on his phone, and it wouldn't charge. I spent three minutes digging in the port with a wooden toothpick and wouldn't you know there was fuck all wrong with his phone.
It's mad that I have to search for how to turn my iPad off every bloody time.
Also, Apple don't seem to have an appetite for supporting gaming on macOS, beyond a few big name titles announced once a year to reig ite interest.
I tried to go with Bazzite on my wife's old PC. Fuck knows what happened, but I could not get it to recognise that I'd downloaded the image with the Nvidia drivers built in.
Ended up giving up and rolling Kubuntu. I know Kubuntu and like it. And it works beautifully. Back in the world of RDR2 now, and loving it.
Its become abundantly clear to me over the past few years that Linux is in place where, to get significant share it needs to have a major figurehead. Imagine if all ThinkPads suddenly were only available with Lenovo's own fork. That kind of thing.
Unfortunateoy, that's kinda the opposite of Linux ethos, and not necessarily likely to make Lenovo much money.
So the best we can really hope for at this point is a company with the brand awareness of Valve pushing SteamOS into the mainstream. People who play games know and generally trust Valve, so people (like my wife) who are on the fence, or who just need their computer to work without needing too much faffing, could likely trust SteamOS in a way they wouldn't necessarily trust Bazzite or CachyOS.
When rewatching you're essentially waiting for Brendanawicz to Brandenaquitz so the show can start getting good.
Shows that fit this bill for me:
Schitt's Creek Breaking Bad
Schitt's Creek in particular, from S02 onwards they really locked in to what we ended up loving about the Roses, which was there in S01 but not so clear. As a result, S02 on is damn near perfect.
Discovered that Philip Pullman finally published The Rose Field, the final part of the Book of Dust trilogy a week or so back, so have gone back in on La Belle Sauvage to remind myself where we are. I'm determined to be patient and also read The Secret Commonwealth too before going in on the new one.
