Make sure the device you pick up has low latency. Not sure if you can find specs like that in the spec sheets. For watching video, latency is not an issue, but when gaming, you want as little time as possible to go by between you pressing a button and the thing showing up on the screen.
Yes your Matrix homeserver does have to run the bridges. So I agree with you - you have to somewhat trust the admins of your Homeserver, or host your own homeserver and bridges. But I understand that the latter is not for everyone.
Which funnily enough, has bridges to Signal, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram and some more, meaning you wouldn’t have to have as many other clients installed to chat with contacts on those platforms
Also look at the memory of you haven’t already - run memtest
Runs great on my old-ish Galaxy S10 !
Knowing where the Netherlands begins?
have you tried the builtin “winget” as alternative to chocolatey?
check out “conversations” its free on f-fdroid and paid in the play store (although from time to time its free there, also)
thank you! more up-to-date packages sound good to me, will have to check out mint, then.
how would you compare Mint to MX Linux? Whats the biggest difference in your opinion?
When selecting a distro to mess around with, i just checked distrowatch to find the most popular distro and chose that (MX). My reasoning was that the resources like wiki/tutorials/forum posts would be most easily available with a more “popular” distro.
You dont need to disable secure boot, you just need to enroll the ventoy keys: https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_secure.html
Alternatively: Firefox for Android + uBlock origin addon works well for me.
Unfortunately, there’s no Sponsor Block addon for Firefox Android.
Can you also please elaborate on what full-upgrade does?
Switching power supplies (“bricks”) are generally more efficient than linear power supplies because they lose less energy as heat. that’s were the difference comes from. (Of course they have drawbacks as well, like increased noise)
Yeah but if the OLED screen has to display black (RGB 000), it turns off the diodes completely. But as you said, most dark modes have a dark grey background which doesn’t do shit (jerboa has a black option btw)
For oleds, it makes a difference and not an insignificant number of smartphones today use OLED screens.
However, if the microwatt-hour of battery saved by browsing a shitty website of a shitty company for a few minutes saves the planet is another story…
For me, the benefit of discord is not the text chat but the voice aspect. With push to talk/voice activated transmission and low latency for gaming.
The voice features of matrix are more of a conference call thing.
Until this gets implemented in matrix (not sure if ever) I’ll continue hosting mumble (or TeamSpeak)
