In the US they use Chromebooks, not really any better but they do have Linux under the hood.

I can support many many different crimes, a ton of crimes really, I think, should be rewarded! But speeding? That’s absolutely not one of them.
Ok I’m imagining it now what
I don’t even have a “disable” option…

I’m hoping this guy just hasn’t consumed any popular media in the past fifteen years because that term has been associated with some pretty specific communities…

Privacy@lemmy.ml•would you wait for the Grapheneos-Motorola phone or buy a new pixel now?English
2·13 days agoYou’re not missing anything whatsoever. I got a great deal on a lightly used Pixel 10 Pro and other than the telephoto camera lens (which is admittedly nice) there is literally no functional difference I notice day to day from my previous Pixel 7 (not pro).

https://github.com/Arcticons-Team/Arcticons - a comprehensive minimalist icon pack
https://github.com/MM2-0/Kvaesitso - A good launcher
https://github.com/CodeWorksCreativeHub/mLauncher - minimalist text based launcher
https://lawnchair.app/ - A FOSS version of the default Pixel launcher

5·25 days agoThe biggest problem with a censorship proof decentralized social media platform is that the instances without moderation inevitably attract the sorts of people that get banned from everywhere else.
I also believe Frigate actually has a home assistant “app” version so it can be installed right on the same device.
I did the exactly same for the same reason. I think Zorin is well made and great for someone who is not good with computer, but it is probably too simple for someone who is advanced enough to know what Linux is.
These days I recommend Kinoite or Bazzite for someone looking to ditch Windows; but they’re so similar the only question is if they’re planning on gaming with a controller.
For newbies ditching windows I like to recommend the Kinoite version of Fedora, it’s immutable and basically impossible to break, and apps are installed from the “app store” so it’s super easy for someone to understand.
Also KDE has just gotten really amazing lately!
Ok so not just text, but walls of text? I still feel like there’s something I’m missing. Lumo can’t even like, turn on a radio station.

Linux@programming.dev•Proton Drive Linux Client is Being Actively DevelopedEnglish
10·1 month agoThe percentage of Proton subscribers who are also Linux users just HAS to be greater than any comparable service, right? This makes sense.
I meant why would I pay for a program that doesn’t really like, do anything? It literally only generates text. I’m not understanding the use case.
Getting a local security camera setup is kind of a pain but do able. Look into the self hosted software Frigate and go with their recommended brands.
