Long story short: I don’t like iOS but have been using an iPhone for a couple years due to lack of personally viable hardware options on the Android side of things. I’ve gotten tired of waiting and found a good deal on an open box Pixel 8 Pro which arrives in a few days, I’ll be installing GrapheneOS on it....
Hey y’all, I just got Cyberpunk for the first time and started playing it. The game plays fine – no issues at all while in the game – but whenever I close it out, then the game goes away, I can see my desktop again, but now no mouse clicks or keyboard typing does anything. I am effectively locked out of using my PC until I...
it has stupid things like weekdays sorted alphabetically
Holy shit, that’s stupid. Why would you even do this in the first place?! I can’t comprehend how anyone could come to the conclusion that that’s a good way to sort it.
To make matters worse, many Chinese devices just kill everything in the background that’s not on a hard coded whitelist.
Looking at Xiaomi’s Miui here. My last phone was a Xiaomi one and it was great. It didn’t take long for me to install LineageOS on it tho because Miui is horrible. It killed every app you had opened the second you switched to another one. Things like email verification codes were literally impossible to enter into an app because when you went into your mail app, copied the code and then went back into the app you wanted to enter it in, that app would have to start up again because it was already killed in the background.
Also, Miui itself used up like half my RAM without anything being opened and it was buggy as hell.
I have a Nothing Phone 1 but unfortunately, no one’s currently maintaining it. I was thinking of doing it myself but I don’t really know where to start. Would be great if you could give me some pointers.
I moved to KDE for better gaming support, but I really dislike the condensed look of everything in the settings app, discover, and most of all in Dolphin....
If you set an alarm and shut down your phone, it will actually boot up again when the alarm is supposed to ring. This has been a thing for years on pretty much all phones, so they must have something like this already.
Switching back to Android (GrapheneOS), anything cool I've been missing out on?

Modern web bloat means some pages load 21MB of data - entry-level phones can't run some simple web pages, and some sites are harder to render than PUBG (www.tomshardware.com)
How do I start maintaining a device?

Any KDE Plasma themes that have more padding like GNOME?
