Do I need an eye patch?

I always opt-out and have never gotten push back. Sometimes I'll even start a trend with people behind me.

I've always somewhat disliked single issue voters, only to become one and would vote for pro-privacy candidates... If any existed.

I've been having a tough time with it. Maybe I'm unlucky with my hardware and setup. Spend hours this week recovering from a black screen after upgrading to F40. Issue with Plymouth + Nvidia + Luks at boot. Also getting Nvidia to work on F39, my first install. Secondary computer (laptop) macbook 2017, keyboard doesn't work with Fedora compared to Linux Mint.

I'd recommend Linux Mint for beginners after my experiences. imho

This one might not have been that cheap. The malicious code was added by a maintainer on the project for two years. That is some patience

I don't like that their open-source repositories, like the android mail app, disabled public issues. Normally lots of good information can be found in issues, like known bugs or reasons why a tracker still exists in the app.

Great. I'm glad you saw them. Yeah, I've been watching this device for years hoping for better support. The very technical manual WiFi fixes do seem to work, but I think a usb WiFi adapter might be more pleasant.

Yes, Macbook Pro 2017 has issues with Linux. See here for what does and doesn't work: https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux

If you mention Graph<nospam>eneOS, you summon him. Check his history

Ollama has been great for self-hosting, but also checkout vLLM as its the new shiny self-hosting toy

Just make sure to install the 3rd party nonfree media codecs at installation for video to work out if the box. Also recently released Nvidia GPUs might have some bugs with Wayland ime

It was actually a mistake. They were removed years ago specifically for the fdroid builds, but were reintroduced at some point on accident. Annoying mistake for sure

Do you have their self-hosted fdroid repository installed?

GrapheneOS is snake oil?

VSCodium, and I suspect VS Code, flickers as well. X11 is good though

I literally don't understand how people use Gnome without extensions. We must be built different or I'm slow

get out of my head bookmarks! lol

Not OP, but I'm guessing PDFs add more metadata that is harder to remove. Just a guess

I've used osmand+ for 6 years nearly every time I drive. Its definitely usable and only craps out once in a while. The biggest pain is just lack if address resolution, but that is expected with osm generally. As long as there aren't walls between you and the satellites, at most I've waited a minute or two for position lock. Google Maps will use GPS and nearby WiFi to locate you, so its faster. Been playing around with Organic Maps lately and it has been nice, but I miss the advanced features and visual info elements osmand+ offers.

All good, brother. I wasn't that clear
