The Chrultrabook project makes the distro run a bit smoother once it’s installed by providing fixes for the audio stack and custom keyboard layouts to make the top row of keys work properly among other things

https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/ provides custom coreboot firmware for a variety of ChromeOS devices. Once you’ve flashed it on your Chromebook, you should be able to just install Linux on it

Compose multiplatform https://www.jetbrains.com/compose-multiplatform/

• ubuntu touch UI framework / suru: qt 5 based, so slightly outdated underpinnings, but still actively maintained https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/humanguide/index.html
• flutter: developed by google as a cross platform framework, tied to the dart programming language. https://flutter.dev/
• Canonical has created custom widgets for flutter, if you don’t like material design: https://pub.dev/packages?q=ubuntu
• uno.platform: C# framework for cross platform apps. https://platform.uno/

Pretty much

They don’t choose the platform, the platforms choose them. Under EU regulation WhatsApp as a “gatekeeper” has to give access to any other platform operating in the EU if they request it. Threema, Signal and co simply aren’t interested.

You could also use dedicated hardware to store your keys. Any FIDO USB key will do. I have a Yubikey that cost me less than 30 bucks.

It’s really handy, because I frequently use someone else’s device for work. All I have to do is plug it in, press the button on the key and enter the master password for the passkey storage. It’s like having a password manager on a USB stick.

And they can be hardware based as well. I have a cheap Yubikey USB dongle, which works as a passkey vault as well. Completely OS independent.

Because its not. OP made a post on Mastodon and crossposted it to Lemmy by @ing the community. I’m not sure this wasn’t by accident

I think the main problem is, that it solves a problem, that shouldn’t exist in the first place. If OEMs would build (and ideally also upstream) proper drivers, then we wouldn’t need a translation layer

Isn’t the VollaPhone Quintus the best option for Ubuntu Touch? (It’s more expensive than the Fair Phone, but it ships with UT)

Syncthing:

• Ubuntu Touch
• Sailfish

Navigation:

• Ubuntu Touch
• Sailfish

I’d argue that Ubuntu Touch and Sailfish are the most mature offerings. Both OSs are (or at least were at some point) developed as commercially viable alternatives to the duopoly. That gives them a headstart in terms of apps and overall pollish.

The postmarket shells are catching up, but you still get instructions like “drag and drop a file from your file manager to open it”, which doesn’t work on a phone. Phone UX still seems like an afterthought in many cases.

Postmarket OS is a desktop Linux system, but for phones. UT and Sailfish on the other hand are mobile OSs, that happen to use much of the same tech as desktop Linux. They are therefore much closer to the duopoly (for bettet or for worse).

I found pipx the easiest way to install and manage a current ytdlp installation

sudo apt install pipx
pipx ensurepath

pipx install yt-dlp

Yes I know, it’s an additional package manager, but it actually is a package manager and will therefore ensure the setup is correct

The feature is called “WiFi Tethering” and is available on most Android systems (sometimes OEMs or carriers disable it)

On iOS it should enable automatically if you’ve got a hotspot active and connect your device to your computer via USB

Resolve is not available as a flatpak so distrobox would be your only option to get it running on a atomic distro.

But in general flatpaks are more secure than distrobox containers. Flatpaks are sandboxed. Apps can request access to different parts outside the sandbox through so called portals. Portals are basically like the permission system on your phone. But not all portals are finished yet so apps can get way more permissions in the name of user friendliness. There are third party tools like flatseal, that manage permissions though.

Distrobox on the other hand doesn’t have any of that. Apps can access your entire home directory and a bunch of other stuff if they want

And for resolve there is even a preconfigured container: https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox

You could replicate this workflow by replacing iCloud with Nextcloud and Time Machine with Timeshift.

The iOS app for Nextcloud allows the automatic upload of photos, you just need an account with a Nextcloud provider (or just host your own instance).

Timeshift is preinstalled on a bunch of distros, including Linux Mint, and can be installed on all other major ones. See https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift for details.

Not necessarily. Both have their drawbacks. It takes longer for new hardware to be supported on Debian and setting up a Nvidia grafics card is more complicated
