I had to reset the whole app

Rear power and volume buttons.

To this day my favorite phone remains the LG v10. It has nice metal rails on the side, a rubber removable back, sd card slot, aux port with a high end dac, wide(er) screen, and buttons on the back of the phones right where your indexed finger would rest when holding it.

Figure print sensor on the button didn’t work all that well, but worked better than this shit on screen reader. The buttons being on the back meant your could just grab the phone in anyway with out worrying if you’re gonna Power the phone off, turn the vol down, take a screenshot, etc. This also meant getting it knot phone holders was almost never an issue.

That was the closest an android phone got to perfection. After that they started trying to follow tends and phase out the good parts to the point of leaving the Android market entirely.

I just wish chrome wasnt so fucking useful by comparison. its integration into my android phone is equal to none. the firefox browser on android is ok but it does not integrate quite as well as the whole google platform. then there’s the performance on linux. I hate to say it but chrome feels so much smoother and nicer to use on linux than even firefox does. I’ve tried making the full switch to firefox several times, last time I daily drove it for probably almost 3 months but eventually found my way back to chrome, it was just a more enjoyable experience.

then there is the fact that every website builds their code to ensure it works with chrome, that is one advantage of chrome being the vast majority of the browser user pool, web devs can focus on making sure the one thing works really well.

that all said, just like wine and linux, it is important that we have a completely separate alternative so we’re not entirely reliant should the ship start to sink. I’ve already fully converted to linux and its been my daily driver for a few years now, not looking back. I know plenty of people are still on windows but with ever new release it feels like they’re doing more and more to punch holes in the SS.Windows ship and i’ll eventually be a sinking boat for enough people who see that an alternative exists. Same will need to be said for chrome vs firefox

You’re not… Wrong.

Idk some American bread isn’t awful but it’s nothing compared to quality bread. As an American it frustrates me that I can’t get much decent bread at the local grocery and would have to hunt down a specialty bakery to find anything remotely good and would likely pay x5 the price for it.

If you want to daily drive linux, I recommend just installing only linux and commit to it for a bit. If you dual boot you may just find that you end up booting into windows and dont go back.

also recommend considering a rolling release distro. idk about Ai stuff but for games, a rolling release is almost always better.

nice. I’ve personally been more of a Boost user my self so was a bit disappointed to hear the dev was not planning to port or support lemmy which I understand. so far jerboa has been decent but I’ll keep an eye out for others.

I suppose, to be fair, I’ve not actually looked into any in a while, but its mostly the support, thats what I’ll follow for my daily driver. I cant imagine my bank apps will work with a linux phone, tachiyomi doesnt have a linux app. does the linux phones support nfc pay options? I’d be surprised if they did…

its just normal daily stuff that I want to make sure just works cuz its what every one is using. for my desktop/laptop I’ll use linux all the way cuz they dont have to interact with what every one else is using.

other linux phones are not really viable. I dont like supporting apple and even if I didnt care about that, their iOS is far too restrictive.

also Tachiyomi
