  • Yeah interesting - I don’t know how many say flatpaks will work on arm. I guess you’re basically able to run most of what a raspberry pi can or whatever is in debian’s arm repos though.

    On lineage you can use auroura store too for a less googley halfway house.

    The article mentions waydroid - but it doesnt go into that much detail on it. I find waydroid to be very good on a decent linux pc - but does it work well enough on ubuntu touch. I’d not do anything heavy though like mobile games on waydroid - that’d seem wierd.

    Is there any benefit/cost though to effectively running your apps via a lineage v.m?

    I’d think if there is it might come down to some wierd security thing but probably at cost of startup time or performance, or maybe even power consumption.


  • Make some other stupid meme or joke that windows does understand then. Maybe it turns our death is secretly using adobe creative cloud on a windows to design the gravestones.

    I m not going on /c/windowsmemes to make boring serious complaints about why I don’t understand regedit.

    You’ve got to at least to be funny about it on a meme, otherwise it’s just depressing. Theres enough deprssing shit on the serious linux forums.

    Or maybe there should be a new meme community linuxwindowstrollbait that is for snarky comments.

    Or maybe I just stop moaning and unsubscribe fron this one.


  • Linuxmemes should instigate a new rule.

    Replies should not be serious, boring and/or don’t to know seem to know what a stupid memepost is for.

    Windows users should be rebutting this with equally stupid memes about xorg.conf or cups or maybe another panel where death is unable to kill windows because it lost the archlinux-keyring to unlock the scythe.


  • I’d like a comparison to lineage OS. There seems to be a very short supported device list for ubuntu, but maybe thats how they keep the install process simplified. Cyanogen always relied a lot on xda-developers community i think - so many unofficial devices supported just by enthusiasts willing to risk bricking devices.

    I recently upgraded to a (used) sony XA2. it was a right pain to install lineage os - way harder than previous samsung S3/4/5 type phones. It was mostly just trying every goddamn usb port on every pc in my house until finally one with which ADB would actually flash the bios.

    I’ve never bothered to researach exactly what are the security issues with lineage OS , it’s something where a decent bit of journalism might help. I’m not very into many apps though so i suspect that lowers the risk to me.

    I’m happy with lineage os too.

  • I’d call that a “webpage” though, one with an ill-fitting name. One person with a sandwich board and a megaphone yelling at a few passers by who at best smile, give a half-hearted thumbs up, then walk away.

    To me, for it to live up to the name “community” that implies several people sharing stuff and a bit of reciprocity.

    Of course that might take time, the first poster might be one of those proverbial people planting those trees that they’re never going benefit fron the shade of. Theres no harm in just creating it making a few posts and leaving them there- it might become active eventually. But it could be never and it will inevitably take a lot longer if the platform only has a million users a day total than if it had a billion.

    You can probably do some sort of critical-mass / chain-reaction / markov chain type model to get a handle on the chances of a niche community becoming active in small population. Like that ‘Drake equation’ for trying to stop people wasting resources on SETI.

    I do update freetube about 1 time a week these days (which is approaching the annoyance level of ads).

    I used to have a lot more issues with it when I didn’t update so frequently - or maybe that was just a different stage in the arms race; I’m sure the reliability will vary, and eventually the developer of freetube will give up.

    I mean, I wont be throwing out the bat or anything crazy like that.






  • For me, at work it’s more MS sharepoint and MS dynamic (+oracle clod shit of course) that fk me over on a daily basis - that’s possibly due to the way our IT people don’t seem to know how to use them or set them up - and won’t let us query(just SELECT) the dynamics tables directly using SQL for whatever reason. (i suspect we have to pay MS to acces our own data). And of course things like MS excel being used to mangle data by default all the time - yeah i know always use power query import . . . just everything takes six extra steps and the easy way is always the worst way.

    W10 is mostly okay. I mean it’s slow and hard to use, blasts the cpu fan all the time, is still annoying with updates, and I have to “right click open with” to open anything in the application that i want (even when there is only one native appllication for the file format). You get used to working around that shit.

    That is just not true for sharepoint and other MS apps, it gets worse, and as soon as you think you get used to a workaround for one thing, something else changes or an old thing resurfaces. and dynamic has just “upgraded” the colour scheme of the status colum so that there is no contrast between the background and the text. black text on white background, good enough for every other column, but no upgrade that one to black on dark blue, thanks bill you’re a F-ing-C. how do they screw up things like that as a bajillion dollar company.

    So I was going to say that W10 is more or less stable and it is other MS stuff that I hate more. that is probably true. but actually sitting down and writing out the above, W10 is still pretty horrible to . . . whether it’s our IT or MS itself, it’s shit.

    I much prefer my home linuxes, it is just as stable (for me) - and just so much easier to use - and most of all it is quieter on the fan. So much more relaxing.

    W11 had better be “not worse” or i’ll probably have to quit.
