After Plasma 6 released I prefer KDE over Gnome every day, I found that Plasma 5 was too messy, inconsistent and unintuitive even if Gnome was lacking in functionality. Even then I decided to move to i3 “just because” and now I’m transitioning to Sway. So far I think Sway is my favorite.

which launcher would you suggest and why?

so I finally got the motivation to install lineage os to my phone after thinking about it like year. and now that I finally modified this phone I started thinking about ricing this phone a bit. I’m looking for a launcher that isn’t too minimalistic and with a decent amount of customization. kinda like kde bit you know…...

I think Lineage OS integrated launcher is fine but if you need to change it I would recommend Lawnchair or Kvaesito. It really depends on you workflow and what functions you want/need. I would say Lawnchair has a more classic interface while still allowing for customization. There are some forks going around so I encourage you to look in Github or F-droid. Oh and Niagara launcher is nice if you depend on few apps that you frequently use, but it has some features locked that are only available in the PRO version.

I’ve seen that username before, do you create and/or maintain wofi?

Hehe thanks. I download huge playlists and then listen to them offline because hate to wait for music to play, specially on Holidays. I recommend SimpMusic for you, lets you use Youtube Music privately with no ads and download music with no restrictions. As for how I download my music… my lawyer told me no to answer that.
I was born in 1996 but I feel you man, we used to share music with Infrared on those SonyEricssons and Nokias and then bluetooth.

I was like you, did not get the point of playlists until I got into techno and some other genres that most people would consider “trashy”. Plus there are some collections of Movies/Games that fit nice into a playlist. Anyway, thanks for the recommendation, I will check it now :) .

Seems like it could be useful for managing huge libraries

I think most people hate Snaps because Ubuntu is replacing .deb packages with snaps with no user prompt and that is a cardinal sin in Linux against the freedom and power of the user. Being “bloated” can’t help either when package maintainers do all what they can to ship programs light and simple. So it goes against at least two Linux principles.

From Windows to about 6 recommended distros for gaming.

I am not bad with computers and have a beginner+, maybe intermediate level knowledge of Linux and I kept running into some problems here and there with different distros. Most claimed to work out of the box (which may be the case for some users, but I have a shit ass Nvidia 1060 and that was not at all the case, until I...

What? Are you telling me that you use one window per workspace?

When people post YouTube links, is there a cool open source way to watch it on mobile without going through youtube, firefox, or downloading adblockers?

When people post YouTube links… is there a cool open source way to watch it on mobile without going through youtube? Because when I click on a YouTube link and I’m on my phone and it immediately gives me an ad it’s pissing me off like in a huge way… is there a way to bypass ads without an ad blocker on my phone

Libretube and Clipious are not fronts ends, they just use Piped and Invidious front ends respectively.

Newpipe, Libretube, Clipious. Those are front ends for youtube. I would recommend reading about them and cheling them out.

How is it worse? If you use google apps it is obiously the same as using apple apps. But otherwise you can remove telemetry, use foss apps and if you are up to it patch a safey net fix to use banking apps.

A closed source OS of a company that has broken every anti-trust law, thats sells phones with no headphone jack or charger and calls it features and you tell me it does not sell data. Google and Apple are two of the same Monster. But you can not modify you Iphone whatsoever, Jailbreaking an Iphone is a pain in the ass, while in Android isnt a breeze either it is much easier. Android in it self (Android Open Source Project) kicks any iOS in the ass. The problem is that vendors put a thick layer of their version of android. If you get your hands on a phone that is compatible with Lineage Os (very close to (AOSP) you can escape Googles jail for good. And while agree with tou that Google’s Android is bad it ia certainly not any worse than iOS. Do not take my word for it, just ask any developer.

I read the study, it only compares just one iPhone to one Google Pixel phone and it concludes that Google just sends more accumulated data, not more data type. The reason for that is because DroidGuard send a full device integrity report to google to check things like the bootloader, mounts, if its rooted, if its an emulator, etc… Plus its checking for API hooking like Frida as the study testers where using. Droidguard is a huge obfuscated blob of data so sending loads of obfuscated data keys makes sense. The study concludes that while google calls for more data, the type of data regarding privacy is the same for iOS and Google Android.

You say that you want your phone for productivity like modifying your phone would be unproductive. Which is funny since your are on Lemmy commenting on a post about “Mildy Infuriating Stuff”. If you do not care for for modification is one thing, but if one wishes to do so one should be able to do it. I’m totally fine with using tools as is, but if one would like to modify it then Apple, Google or whomever should not prevent it, if it voids the warranty or some other contract then so be it. It is your tool not theirs.

I agree with you that Google are a piece of shit, just that I think the same of Apple. I think that buying a phone for $1500 when there are other options for $400 is insane. From what I have read most developers and regular people who want privacy and freedom try to de-Google their phone, or run a custom ROM, and on their PC they run Debian, Arch or whatever. If that i not an option for you that is fine, but is not for nothing that people are running away from Apple and Google while they are getting their asses sued, it is not for nothing that government institutions around the world are replacing Windows with GNU/Linux.

ah yes, a $1500 phone with software that won’t allow you to do shit under the flag of security and UI.
