I've been using GrapheneOS for over a year. I cannot complain about it, it works as advertised and it does it the best way possible. However, here's the list of things I find annoying/missing. Keep in mind, this is a subjective list.

  • some (quite a lot of for me) apps require Google Play Framework (or whatever the name is) to work properly
  • Aurora store tends to be unavailable randomly, which makes installation/updates difficult sometimes
  • some features are wonky, e.g. GrapheneOS has no issues with disabling wifi when leaving my home but I was never able to enable wifi when I'm back home.
  • default apps work ok-ish but it's far from good old iOS/Android experience
  • Android Auto experience was a shitshow for me

Don't want to be a devil's advocate but can you provide something more than "I'm offended"? Let's say issue ticket(s), status page links, other people complaining, etc?

Oh no, anyway...

Linux distros are barely just getting their feet wet in the tablet/mobile world. I would say "barely just getting their toe wet" :)

Getting back to the point. I loved the way iPad was integrated with the stylus (Apple Pencil). My use case for a tablet back then was to write/draw stuff I did "remotely" and export all my, let's call it drawings, to mac and work on that. Today's example. I was planning a garden layout. It took me way too much time to get the stylus working the way I expected and when it did I had more issues trying to export the drawings to a usable format* I would be better off with a good old pen and paper.

KDE works ok on touch devices but if you're going to switch, try plasma mobile.

[-] fart_pickle@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

It is usable but I've been using iPad for years before trying Linux on a tablet and it's way behind iPadOS in terms of ux and ease of use. The latest plasma mobile makes it more tablety but it still feels like a desktop with touch support. Having said that, I'm pretty happy with plasma mobile and can't wait for further improvements.

I wrote it several times and I will write it again. Linux on a tablet is at best average. However, after recent release of KDE 6, plasma mobile got really good. In tablet mode it feels almost like a real thing. I've been using it for some time now and I like the experience.

C'mon. It's non toxic glue. Suck it up and follow the directions. /s

I would have never expected the EFF to use a lame click-bait headline like this one.

I've been using open webui for some time but I wanted to test the Alpaka, a KDE app - https://apps.kde.org/alpaka/

When I click on an "Install on linux" button, Discover app is opening and gives me this error "Could not open appstream://org.kde.alpaka because it was not found in any available software repositories." When using dnf there's no such package as Aplaka. I can find and install other KDE apps. What am I missing?

I'm on Fedora 40, KDE spin.

I'm a happy user of Inoreader. I like it so much I'm considering buying a premium plan. However, I'm looking for an alternative I wouldn't have to pay for. I came across FreshRSS. The only thing that's keeps me from moving is the sync. I don't want to expose it to the internet but I want to be able to access it on a move. My first idea was to use Syncthing. Is there a way to use Syncthing to sync feeds, settings (read articles, subscriptions, etc.) across different devices? By different devices I mean Linux, macOS (optional) and GrapheneOS (Android) phone.

I've been playing around with the self hosted apps for quite a while and I got to the point where I'm happy about my local setup. Next step is to setup reliable offsite backup. I'm using borgbackup as a tool to manage my backups (so far only local backups). I've been looking for an affordable yet reliable service to store my backups. Is rsync.net worth it? According to the "internet" it's a good service but wanted to double check. What do you think about it?

What happened to Airbnb?

Good old corporate greed fueled by an unreasonable shareholders/investors expectations.
