i’m all for linux phones, android becomes locked down by google, iOS is proprietary and dumbphones seem like an unnecessary burden if you wanna participate in society.

But i oppose the inclusion of any state in FOSS development. The EU is constantly pushing for chat control, Germany uses Palantir and ACTA was a thing. The EU could flip in the next election cycle and make backdoors mandatory or cut funding and cause the collapse of active development which relies on EU funding if their demands are not met.

But i’m no developer, i’m just an active user so i can’t have an informed opinion on that.

i wonder what OP is doing now, 10yrs later :)

before spending money: check out the software called wabbajack, which has pre-configured mod-packages you can install :)

otherwise hmu, you can hop on my discord and me or my nerdy friends will help you for free :)

libs can’t comprehend a democratic system within a single pluralistic party.

ouh i bookmarked this!

i’ve never heard of some of these musicians :) thx for bringing variation to the music i’ll listen to in the coming days :3

i have no way of sharing playists atm tho :( for the past few months i became a full album enjoyer, what i really enjoyed recently was:

Oh Sees - An Odd Entrances; Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra; Russian Circles - Station; Broadcast - Tender Buttons;

i hope you’ll find enjoyment in at least one of these :)

for now i use my navidrome server and listen to suggestions from friends and strangers :)

here ya go: Sleep - Dopesmoker

I am no expert and can only tell from my own experience: i recently installed CachyOS with KDE, it is an Arch based distro, despite that I, a fresh linux user, think it is really accessible and it worked out of the box. Gaming is not really an issue for me, if issues arise i just check ProtonDB, but that´s really rare thanks to Lutris being pre-installed. You also benefit from the Arch Wiki which, in my opinion, has a REALLY good documentation of any question or issue you encounter with that operating system.

You have to get comfortable with the terminal though, but i think that applies to any linux distro (my only other distro experience is Mint 10 yrs ago)

If anyone utters this argument i´ll hit them with “okay give me your phone and let me look through your browser history, pictures and messages.”
