But that only applies to apps that have a lower target than Android 6, right?

Except that it does change stuff: It can have massive performance impacts on some games, which really sucks, considering these games are 70 bucks

Lemmy community discovery isn’t great, I like to use lemmyverse.net to search for communities across all instances

The framebuffer is basically just VRAM, corruption of it is likely when experiencing graphics glitches.

It’s very different from Windows, and thus harder to learn for new users. Linux Mint (which uses Cinnamon) is basically made for Windows users, it has a more familiar interface and is easier to learn how to use. My personal favorite is KDE, it is also quite similar to Windows but allows for unlimited user customization. It follows the concept “Simple by default, powerful when needed”, which in my opinion is a good representation of the entire Linux ecosystem. Pop!_OS is not the stock GNOME experience, in fact, it’s quite different. It adds some functionality and changes how GNOME works. It’s better than normal GNOME, but not perfect.

uBlue-based distros like Aurora or Bluefin are genuinely good and recommended for Surface users because they offer a special Surface-optimized image.

Bluefin is based on uBlue, which is based on Fedora Silverblue. It’s really cool because there’s a special version of it that’s optimized for the Surface.

UBlue-based distros like Aurora and Bluefin make it easy to get the Surface kernel.

Bluefin makes it easy to get a stable and reliable GNOME experience while offering a special image for Surface devices.

You can’t access the normal Reddit site behind a VPN either. The only solution is to use a private frontend like Redlib with LibRedirect, to automatically redirect all Reddit links to Redlib.

Or use LibRedirect to do it automatically

The only browser plugin you need for Reddit is LibRedirect to automatically redirect all Reddit links to a private frontend called Redlib

Andromxda,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

The only decent way to browse Reddit nowadays is a private frontend called Redlib. You can use the LibRedirect browser extension or the UntrackMe Android app to automatically redirect all Reddit links to Redlib. It’s better for privacy, since you don’t need to access Reddit directly and thus your information isn’t exposed, it works without JavaScript, it doesn’t have ads or trackers and works behind a VPN or Tor. It also lets you view NSFW content without any limitations.

You can use UntrackMe on Android or Privacy Redirect on iOS. Or if you are on Anndroid and use Firefox or a fork of it like Mull or Fennec, you can install LibRedirect there.

LibreWolf > Firefox

Mull on Android

Me neither, at least I haven’t logged into my account to browse reddit. Occasionally I click on a Reddit because it’s the result of my web search. But I always use a private frontend called Redlib for that, LibRedirect automatically redirects all Reddit links to Redlib, it’s really useful. UntrackMe does the same on Android, Privacy Redirect on iOS.

Andromxda,

Just use LibRedirect with Redlib

The Pixel 7a is almost the same size, just 0.2 inches bigger. Unlike the S10e, it is still supported by Google and gets security updates (until 2028). And you can install a better, more secure Android ROM like GrapheneOS.

Andromxda,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

GrapheneOS is the way to go, unfortunately the 5a won’t be supported by Google for much longer, only until August of this year. GrapheneOS will probably provide a few extra months of extended support though.

Use an adblocker in your browser and an ad-blocking DNS server like Mullvad DNS (it’s super easy on Android, just search for Private DNS in the settings and set it to base.dns.mullvad.net), AdGuard DNS (same thing, super easy, just set it to dns.adguard-dns.com) or NextDNS on your phone (and ideally on all your other devices). There’s also an app called AdAway, but it takes up the VPN slot so you can’t use it together with a VPN.
