been plug and play for me using Nvidia + Linux for years now. Just upgraded to a 5070ti, literally was take out old, put in the new.

+1 for PineTime. I have had mine now for 3-4 years. Love the little guy

Look into Asahi Linux. Its a community driven project Fedora (and other distros) to run on newer Silicon Mac’s. I have it on my M2 MBP and its amazing. It may not be for everyone since it runs AARCH64 / battery isnt great (6+ hours). But its my best looking Linux install due to its screen

At the end of the day, any Distro that you pick will be essentially the same, as far as handling WoW. I have played WoW over the years on the multiple Linux Distros that I have used. The best way would be via Proton from within Steam. I tend to like the custom Proton version - Glorious Eggroll’s version.

For Linux Distros, pick one that is heavily documented like Ubuntu / Mint, both Debian based and tons of troubleshooting articles in case you need to reference them. Tend to prefer Mint between these two, personal choice. I tend to prefer Arch based ones, since they have what is called the AUR (Arch user Repo) which allows more complied apps to be downloaded and used on the system.

Exactly the same for me, expect im running a 2060 Super, maybe 2070 Super, i forget. Been thinking about upgrading my system, atleast the GPU and been thinking about trying AMD this time around

F-droid works on any Android phone, doesnt need to be GrapheneOS. I have installed in on regular installs plenty of times.

i know its not as easy / inconvenient, but is there any way to use the companies website instead of the app? For example, i usually log into my banks website to check things or to make a transfer between accounts. Yes you cant scan a check or make desposits, but i also not use a lot of companies App’s in the first place. I just dont understand why everyone needs apps - do you really need an app for your ISP?

back when i started with Linux, i would distro hop in the beginning since i was trying out different ones, making mistakes, but taking that knowledge with me onto the next one. Then i discovered Manjaro, then EndeavourOS and have been on it for years now

Have thought about reinstalling EOS once i rebuild my computer, but see how that goes -

Both /e/os and Iode have built in tracker blockers that do a pretty good job at blocking most trackers. Used /e/os with my OnePlus 6t and liked it a lot. Probably the reason I have used these l.

Upgraded to a OnePlus 9 pro and trying out Iode OS. Havent decided if I like it more, or just getting used to it.

Is there a standalone tracker blocker that can be a similar to these that can be ran on any Android OS?

i was using Brave search until i discovered qwant. Been usjng it for months now and quite like it

Thanks for this! Works pretty well when testing -

Been using /e/os on my OnePlus 6t for nearly 2 years now. I like it for the most part, with its built-in ad blocker, and online ecosystem that syncs to my devices. Recent outage that they are still going through, has alittle worrisome but nothing being a big deal

Been using Qwant for the last 2-3 months and been pretty happy with the results

qwant.com/

I really like /e/os and have been running them for almost 2 years now. But recently they are having infrastructure issues and I may be moving on from the project. Sucks since i am a paying customer (online ecosystem) of them

Been using qwant recently and have to say, its pretty nice so far

Not available through the Google Store. The APK is on their Github page - https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube

By far my all-time favorite app - Freetube. Used to be KDE Connect for transferring files between devices, and still is an useful app. But man Freetube is amazing

Always like to test out default installed browsers against browseraudit.com.

Not too shabby

Just installed via Octopi. Nice design

Typing this up on /e/os on OnePlus6t. Love it for ~2 years now. Signed up and support the project now with their ecosystem (64gb option).

Not a true alternative, but I love Freetube. Just for the fact that I don’t have to have an account tied to it with no ads and sponsor ads is nice.

Lately there’s been connection issues but usually gets resolved with 2-3 days.

Even works on my raspberry pi.
