My most used distro in the past few years is CachyOS.

Recently swapped to Bazzite because I got tired of the papercuts of running Arch. I also wanted to move to one of the official supported Distros that is supported by my laptop in case I ever need to make a support ticket.

Well, seeing as my first pick was the Skyline 2, something that runs a very mainline tracker filled android. Murena’s OS is leaps ahead of it for security.

Edit: as far as the choice between the Skyline 2 and the Fairphone 6, both have similar capabilities, and each has a design that is nice for different reasons.

The Skyline 2 doesn’t have as much long term support but is noticeably cheaper.

Far as Murena itself. As an American if I want a Fairphone 6 my choices are spend close to $900 buying an imported one from ebay where I don’t get a warranty and start with a close to vanilla android. Or, I buy from Murena and get a phone with a more secure OS and very importantly, the best smart phone warranty on the US market for $900 + shipping. There isn’t really a contest.

Damn, was planning on getting a Skyline 2.

Guess I’ll go for the Fairphone 6 via Murena instead.

When I say that the Nazi’s turned on them, I’m saying that these select individuals that thought that working with the Nazi’s would save them. It did not.

There were a few exceptions, there were some people that higher ups in the Nazi party helped to escape. For instance Adolf Eichman was proud of the fact that while many Nazis would point out a few “good ones” among the jews he was more pure in his belief.

The support for deporting Jews into Palestine was called the Haavara Agreement. 60,000 Jews were migrated to Palestine from 1933 to 1939. It was an agreement between the Zionist Federation of Germany and the Nazi government. The thought was that by working with the government they could make things easier on Jews still living in Germany.

Germany also got a lot of good international press for doing it at the time.

Before WW2 there were zionists who worked with the Nazi party in order to work towards creating a Jewish state that the jews could all be sent to. Later on the Nazis turned on these Jews because the process wasn’t fast enough for them and they couldn’t find enough countries to take the people they were deporting.

The first solution for Nazis wasn’t death camps, it was mass deportation.

The Nazis were in general supporters of a Jewish state. Their first solution was mass deportations.

So it isn’t really a historic contradiction.

Steam OS on Steam Deck. Fedora on Framework13 cause reliability. Garuda Mokka on Framework16 cause pretty and it just works.

May move from Garuda back to OpenSuSE Tumbleweed or CachyOS at some point.

They do come out with good hardware now and then. Some of their higher end laser printers are reviewed well. At my job we have an HP laser printer that is older than the store that is still chugging along just fine while being used every day.

Their overall quality is so poor though that it is hard to trust anything they put out.

More consumer linux devices are good though.

I run both on my unraid NAS. I use plex for streaming to my phone over cell data. I use jellyfin for streaming to my laptops and TV.

Plex tends to break every once and a while though. Not often, but it happens enough that I’m replacing it with just having my music on a DAP that is synced with Syncthing.

I also use the comic viewer function of jellyfin.

I have a physical copy of Heavy Gear 2 native for Linux. Tried getting it to work some time during late Covid era and just gave up and pirated the windows copy to run through Lutris.

Going forward I think that flatpaks can be great to keep things running in the future, or app images or bottles.

Just, something that installs a specific version of the libraries it needs for that game only separate from the rest of the system

Just containerize native linux games.

Looked it up and someone had it running via a steam deck so looks like you’re set.

And it gets worse, through system updates there are old native games that no longer work on modern systems. Meanwhile I can grab a random windows game from the 90s or early 2000s and it’ll probably work via proton.

My usb port on my phone is busted so I’m limited to wireless only, it takes so damn much longer to charge.

I liked wireless charging a lot more when it wasn’t my only option.

I have two friends playing PoE2 in windows and they have had tons of problems with the game crashing.

I’m running it in linux and I’ve had one crash in 65 hours of playtime.

Gentoo was my second linux Distro ever some time in 2003 or 2004.

Installed it by printing out the full install doc, which was like 30 or 40 pages, and starting up a stage one install. I got through the entire install by following the instructions because the documentation was that good.

I remember having a problem and hopping on an irc chat to ask for help and people there being baffled about the basic level questions I was asking while having a working Gentoo install.

I currently have a prime sub, but anything I watch on prime I just pirate instead. I’m on linux so torrenting gets me better video quality.

Been playing through it for a few missions and it runs very well.
