I myself have been using linux for 15 years and disagree with what you’ve said.

1. Learn how to install and update on Endeavor and you won’t have to worry about much - it just works, on any hardware.

Fedora always breaks on me, whether it be nvidia or amd. I used to love Fedora but found it breaks far more than otherwise.

The Linux vernal is designed to work on up to current gen hardware. If anything the current gen nvidia stuff is rough (40 series). I’ve had no issues with 30 series or 7000 series amd GPUs.

2. Why? Nothing wrong with using extensions. They’re usually updated within a week if Gnome or KDE breaks them. With gnome I’ve had 10+ extensions with 0 issues across multiple computers.

3. Not true. My dual boot has never broken on multiple computers. Whether is be Debian, Ubuntu, fedora, or arch.

4. Also not great advice. I found Endeavor OS, which is Arch to run the best. PopOS was the only other one that just worked.

5. This I do agree with; hyprland, i3, etc take a long time to fine tune. While tiling managers do help with productivity, setting them up takes a while.

6. Flatpaks should not replace system packages. They tend to be updated much slower and scaling can be weird on them.

I use hyprland with KDE as my fall back.

My hyprland config is 95% stable but some apps give me a hard time, so I’ll just run them in KDE.

I find KDE just works. With a baby, things need to work more often than not.

I use florisboard beta, missing some features but nothing I don’t need.

Spell check is there, but only after you finish typing the word. (No predictive text yet)

Edit: I am trying Heliboard and so far its pretty good.

Within Magisk there is a hide open, select that, name it something like music-mag, then clear the samsung wear app data and try it again.

Is magisk also hidden?

Heres an example app:

I use lsposed + hidemyapplist. Sometimes apps look for magisk, or other signs of being rooted. That will hide them all.

I also have magisk hide and sulist enabled. They also help hide root by preventing apps from requesting root unless explicitly allowed. It also hides magisk, which bank apps usually look for.

Edit: A bit redundant now that I think about it, but I haven’t had any issues.

That seems to be it. I didn’t know that existed.

Fediverse version of github when? Unless it already exists?

My servers are on 24/7, currently they use about 100watts each (I have 2 running), which adds maybe $20 to my electric bill. I also have stuff such as mailcow, nextcloud, and mattermost running, turning off every night would make those applications useless.

I have a shit APC desktop UPS. It keeps them on for 10-15 minutes at best.

I’ve been messing with linux on my xps tablet. It mostly works well, I just hate the onscreen keyboards right now. Maliit lacks documentation and modifier buttons, squeekboard doesn’t scale to larger screens unless you manually build a dev branch, and wvkbd doesn’t hide/respond to input boxes.

As for UI, I love plasma mobile personally. For other touch friendly UIs theres: gnome mobile, phosh, and hyprland + gesture plugin.
