I’m not terribly familiar with phone options, though ya’d figure ads in the menus would be immediately disqualifying. It’s not like they’re all doing it (yet), so you’re not stuck for accepting it. Especially not from a new company.
Totally +1 for MX. I’ve tried a few distros over the years, and sure plenty of woes ‘could’ be the recent growing pains into Wayland, etc … but thus far, MX has been so fucking easy it’s almost concerning.
The only thing I’d slightly gripe about so far is the highly limited options at install time. No multiple partition setup or nearly any alternative choices … but that can also be viewed as a positive.
From the standpoint of, “I just want this shit to work”, it’s been excellent.
I was also looking at cinnamon, but I wanted a KDE Plasma option. Then I ran into MX and figured why not try? A couple of very simple and fast installs later, and two different laptops are now running it.
The extreme ease at installing nvidia drivers was just icing on the cake for how easy the rest went.
Unless the programs in question rely on conflicting core dependencies that actually have to have hooks into the system, like KWallet and other credential managers, and other similarly “system” level tools, you’ll be totally fine. Worst case while avoiding those, you might have to install some hefty frameworks (eg: KDE’s dependencies are >1gb), but that’s about it.
If they need to integrate with specific core utilities, it can get weird. Though as long as you check for conflicting stuff before actually installing, you’ll be fine.
The audacity to try in the first place is bad enough. How are you people so fucking complacent with companies that you already paid further selling your time and wasting power on your devices so they can pocket even more money??
You’re a frog in already boiling water, and you don’t even notice your skin sloughing off…
This isn’t a SocDem problem but a Democratic Establishment problem.
The DNC are the absolute shitstains standing in the way of progress while pretending to be progressive. Just remember how they royally fucked Bernie over in 2016 because it was, “Her Turn”™.
That was when many people gave up on Democrats, and rightfully so if it wasn’t for Trump running in 2024.
As it should. If they allow direct conversion, all they’ve done is create a fungible asset, which already comes with a crazy amount of legal implications compared to some random number in a videogame.
