Also, it’s possible to be priveliged and also understand and sympathize with the problems of other people.

The entire Chao meta-game please.

Exactly. I’m always keeping my eye out for “small” android phones, and I’ve never seen any that I really like until the razr 2024. The previous razr smartphone models were pretty bad, in my opinion, but this one is a tiny bit more than “acceptable”. What I REALLY want is a true android flip phone kind of like the CAT S22, but with a competent battery and a screen that isn’t 20% bezel, with a standard android version. (The CAT S22 has some sort of lightweight android that causes problems for many apps.)

No! :) In fact, I recently bought a Razr 2024 because I don’t use my phone much and I would benefit from the tiny screen and form factor. I used to use a CAT S22 for the same reason. I still need android, but I don’t need a huge screen for media.

What does the (x) mean?

Play star citizen. You’ll use that up fast.

I fear I might not have results soon. I am going to stick around until Pop Cosmic comes, and then switch to bazzite or tumbleweed if it doesn’t tickle me pink.

Yeah I actually know about that. Pop’s whole shtick of versatile tiling and workspace management doesn’t really benefit me at all, and I reckon the new DE will heavily feature that as well. That’s not necessarily a downside, but it doesn’t really make me want to use it over anything else either. What I do know is that KDE is great, I love using it, I love using its apps, and many of its apps don’t work quite right on POP as it is.

However, I AM interested in Cosmic’s support of nvidia hardware, variable refresh rate, and obscure nonsensical monitor setups (which I have haha). So I think I’m going to give it a try, and hope it isn’t worse than gnome. I’m not particularly a fan of gnome, but it does have some cool plugins and wide support.

From what I can tell, nothing is better about the KDE implementation than other KDE distros, but it does check most of the boxes for me. Rolling (ish) release, supports plasma put of the box, not too much work to set up. Kubuntu isn’t as frequently updated which is the main downside for me.

Thank you. I’m definitely doing to trial bazzite and tumbleweed. Both have received near unanimous praise from anyone who mentioned them in my 2 posts, Tumbleweed moreso.

Thank you so much, that was very informative. Tumbleweed is looking more attractive the more I think about it. Or bazzite. I’m going to trial run both of those plus Endeavor OS.

At the very least I want any Ubuntu derivitive to be as good as pop OS, which means no snap and mildly acceptable package maintenance, so that rules out a few options. Pop OS does seem to be one of the best Ubuntu based distros for Nvidia support, and already checks a lot of my boxes so I may even make the decision to stay on this until I can build a red team PC for much easier hardware support (which I already planned on doing eventually).

Thanks! And yeah I’ll definitely try several. I have 2 or 3 that I’m definitely going to test drive for a week thanks to all of the helpful comments I’m getting.

Thanks for the review. Like you said, hardware may or may not be a concern. I built this pc years ago with windows in mind and I plan to build one again at some point. With people praising the non-Debian distros in my list, I might just go that route and see how it goes.

Good to know. Pop OS doesn’t have anything like that as far as I know, and that would be nice to have.

Well KDE was more important to me than rolling releases, plus they were Debian based which I liked. I have heard good things about bazzite, I’ll have to check it out. Tumbleweed was my first choice for a non-Debian distro in that list, so I’m glad you’re confirming my hunch that it would be great for KDE. I’m okay with ditching Debian-based if it means a better experience in the end.

But… I want to click things.

Incredible. I guess I have a list of apps to avoid now. Thanks.

Very nice. I haven’t even looked, are there any other popular fully featured weather apps native to Linux?

Some resin

I have one of these on my shelf. My wife got one in a wedding party gift bag a few years ago.
