not necessarily, for example some laptop oems do not use the standard format and you cant just extract them from the exe so you have to use windows

dual boot, you never know when will you be forced to use windows again

• and for those who suggest VM, there are situations where its a hassle to make thing work or its impossible all together ( updating bios is one of those )

Hold on buddy, i would say that the first three are for veterans

aww man is that still a thing ( as in working )

simple, shareholders want infinite GROWTH 📈

so long friend you will be missed

Yes it will but it wont be able to handle +4 GB files

it was never a matte of if. only when

look at that idiot, typical redditor behavior talking shit from their ass as if they are experts on what they are talking about

I dont think its possible -or easy- to install custom roms on samsungs since they dont allow unlocking the bootloader

Get a model near its end of market life, buy new the oldest you can find

This is a very good advice for someone who is buying a new phone to install a custom ROM on it, since they are indepandant effort they need some time to hack things and find workarounds

thanks it seems that YouTube is playing with its polymer script again, many apps also stopped working

This is weired, i might be blind because i don’t see any LINUX

Use a 256 GB ssd Good luck hoarding on that rice grain

i don’t think that’s possible mate for 2 reasons :

• software companys pay antivirus software makers to flag and remove game cracks
• cracks use obfuscation and workaround techniques that are similar to whats used in viruses so most flag them as mallisious

KDE connect on both your PC and phone just use --no-install-recommends to avoid KDE bloat

Huh, intersting

Brother’s driver install tool expects dnf, apt, or yum, and so it’s incompatible with ostree-based systems like Kinoite or Silverblue. You can of course download the driver manually and install the necessary packages:

Not being able to provide support for every distro is the other edge of open source

Your phone has a snapdragon which is very popular chip to make ROM for but generally hard to unlock unofficially -not impossible though it’s possible there is a workaround by now for your specific chip - on the flip side mediatek devices are less popular due to them refusing to provide the source code but to their partners. however they are well-known to be easy to unofficially unlock due to some vulnerability -in the bootloader- that they refuse to patch.

I did a leap of faith and I unlocked my phone unofficially (mediatek) but if you decide to flip that coin think hard about it and make sure you are well informed (like using your specific phone code name instead of brand name ex: instead of redmi 9 say “lancelot”)
