I only got a house as the monthly was below that of rent. When I was renting, I read the richest man in Babylon book. Its a bit dated advice, but I combined that with the play yourself monthly mentally. What I mean is I set aside some money each month for me to spend on anything extra. New pants, go out to movies, whatever. This money can also carryover to allow for a larger purchase, like a phone.

Anyway, don’t look to others as an indicator to your life journey. Write your story and don’t stress.

It always comes right after I migrate my family members. Same thing with lastpass and I’m still trying to get people off that.

I have been playing with Incus recently.

You can run Windows in vms on Linux if you don’t need screaming performance. I think you can directly install from iso with Incus as well. I haven’t find this yet, i used Qemu instead.

You could spin up a vm with mx and see how it works.

Same, i have 64GB, but only to play with lmstudio.

I only pick up the new LTS when the next non-LTS is released

I’ve been using Feeder https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/ Works for my needs, but I haven’t explored much.

I picked up a pixel 8 pro to replace my 6 pro.

Nfc payments keep me chained. I guess i can get a second phone just for setting up a watch, but i don’t want a watch. So i live by not using the default launcher and a vpn. I’m working to change my email provider slowly

Bohi linux?

I have bazzite, it also includes graphics drivers ready to go which is nice. If you’re going to use steam for gaming i find it great. But this distro is not needed for gaming, one can install and game on any of the popular distros. You’re friend needs to try a few and see what feel best for them.

I wonder how much is just due to the default phone launcher and keyboard.

Wow really? I have tried to use Turbo tax and QuickBooks a few times with wine and no success. Maybe time for a revisit.

Yeah, i have an example of this. I spent since time today building a local copy of handbrake have it run in a distrobox of arch to get AMD hardware acceleration as an option. The flatpak version refused to do this. It wasn’t too bad, but still wild i did this.

Maybe Tiny 11 was the answer?

I’m just starting reading the book The Circle and I just got to the post where they announced the same thing.

Same, I’m not gaming, but this distro for me that I find just working. I used Aurora for a bit before making the switch.

You mean convince more people to not buy android phones. Man we used to be able to run custom kernel code on the palm pre to try and get more performance out

$500 option
