As cardfire said, I just have to take my debit/credit card from where it’s usually stored. I have never lost or damadeged my phone since I got one in 98, that’s more than an hedge case.

And I can also buy on the internet without needing physical access to my cards.

The only use case for physical cards is unfortunately gas stations. So 6 times a year in average I need them.

Tap to pay is essential to me. I never carry anything more than my phone, so no credit/debit card.

What about a Murena phone such as the Fairphone 6 ? Is /e/os impacted?

Wow, it seems to work, thanks !

Swiping with Heliboard is very frustrating. In my native language, I have to rewrite 50% of the words. I’ve never managed to make it write “c’est” for example.

I started using Manjaro in 2018. I can’t remember any significant break.

Usually, the stable branch is updated every 2 weeks or so. Look at the past releases: https://forum.manjaro.org/c/announcements/stable-updates/12

I’m not a fan of getting updates every single day, sometimes breaking little things. I prefer less frequent homogeneous and tested releases.

It’s funny because I see the same cult behavior, but for Fedora. I’ve never understood the point of this distribution that has never worked well for me.

I’m on Manjaro by the way, because I love everything about Arch except the release style.

Thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately this is a major feature for me. I just don’t carry cards anymore

Oh I didn’t know NFC payments were not working. No workaround?

I really wish I could recommend Libreoffice but I have mixed experiences with it. Spreadsheet is really good, I can only praise it. Writer is fine for basic documents but I gave up updating my CV with it - too frustrating. Impress is so far from PowerPoint that I recommend finding an alternative.

Amazing that it works so well, nice!

However I can’t help thinking usability improvements are urgent. The key one being how you need to bring up the menu with a 2 finger slide up, and then click again on the right button to get the list of apps, which is not even user friendly. Then, clicking on the top right window button to close the app, which you seemed to have difficulties to click on (with good reasons).

Finally you drag and drop a lot, can’t you click on the music file directly without opening the app in parallel?

I can see you’re not using Flatpak, the destroyer of disk space. Nice list though!

Strangely enough, that’s what I thought for a long time but not this time. Removing the lines I saw makes absolutely no sense unless you’re selling users data, which I strongly oppose to.

I’ve started to use librewolf, unsure if this is a good idea.

It’s been a bumpy road. I have strong memories of Gnome devs explaining to users how wrong they were to dislike Nautilus’s awful spatial mode. And when that guy refused to implement a switch off option because users were wrong to ask for it.

Now really, it’s quite functional once you’ve tweaked with gnome-tools and added vital extensions. You also have to remember useless stuff such as “Video” means “Totem”. I’ll just never understand why they don’t really care about sane defaults.

Misskey seems really popular looking at numbers. I’m confused because nobody talks about it. Is it because of some niche super active audience?

Same question: super weird to leave them out…

Did they just remove their comments?

Talking from a usability standpoint it’s gotten much better. It’s still slow to open the app but the search got much more efficient.
