Probably, android devices and especially Samsung can be locked down. I don’t know your model though I feel like there are 4,327 variants of “galaxy note”.

No I did not have GPU accel. I’m curious what you are referring to losing work due to a misclick? Personally I don’t use desktop icons. I’m a previous i3 user so I am used to using my computer with a non traditional interface.
As someone who tried out MacOS in a VM out of curiosity I don’t find gnome to be like MacOS at all in overall functionality. I think to most people it just looks like Mac because top bar, dock and some design choices. Really though gnome is much more like Android. MacOS felt extremely clunky to use vs gnome’s fluid workspace and app switching.
Some of these things might just be the usual Windows problems…like with the heat and fan noise. I have seen huge differences in a few machines (x86 tablet/HP laptop/thinkpad) running Linux vs running Windows. The machines running Linux hardly make a peep until you play a game or compile something. On Windows they were hot and noisy af, night and day difference.
Well I know my local army base (US) was looking for Linux sys admins, so I figure they have some servers on base.
Also some intruder could be living in there with you without your knowledge. That’s my irrational fear about large homes like this, too many places for someone with bad intentions to hide.
True, kind of silly you have to install an extension because the default gnome weather won’t just let you use open weather.
It doesn’t use open weather unfortunately. It uses the Norwegian Meteorology Institute and their weather prediction is poor/entirely inaccurate for much of the world. I do wish open weather was an option especially since it’s easy to get your own weather api key.
Agree, the old windows blue screen would sear your retinas, could definitely be tuned down a bit.
He said until EOL. Windows LTSC, the IoT version in particular is supported until 2032.
If you have steam installed as a system app then copy the .desktop file from /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop to your /home/yourusername/.local/share/applications. Once you have the .desktop file in local, edit the desktop file and go down to the first Exec= line and and the -silent switch at the end.
You could use the android studio flatpak, install flatseal to ensure the app doesn’t have permissions you don’t want.
Zone launcher. You get to keep your regular launcher.
If you like the interface of the steam deck in desktop mode and you are most familiar with Ubuntu, you could try Kubuntu… which is just Ubuntu with the KDE desktop environment like what the deck has. Theres also the KDE Fedora spin. If you do want to go the Arch route you could install EndeavourOS, which is practically arch with a little bit of hand holding to get you on your feet quickly - and to help you learn the ropes.
1337, cmon now!
Yes you should, but you have take your data safety into your own hands. You cannot trust Google, Apple, and other big tech companies. That is not to say that these companies should get away with the things they do, there should be punishment… but that is the reality.
Taking nude pics on any “smart” device is just a bad idea.
Yes definitely as one word like ch as in change then own, same with chroot.
You could theme everything else vintage steam green… except Steam, Lol! That color does bring back memories of the good ol days of the internet and online gaming.
Edit: hold up, theres a secret Rick roll in there!
Yea sure, you can go and do all that. Im just speaking from my personal experience. There were no experiments, it’s just the behavior I notice from Windows before the device gets the Linux treatment.
