I have an old Huawei P7, and when it breaks, I will not buy a Chinese phone again, and it's not because of price or quality.

I don't like how China is helping Russia invade Ukraine, and for that alone, I won't support a Chinese company, I used to buy a lot of components in china, now I get them local or from another EU country.

It’s still around and kicking unresponsive windows.

I know, but I haven't used it since I switched to Debian ;-)

I was still using XP when Ubuntu 5.10 was released, and when I saw my audio worked out of the box, I switched :-) I had been using Mandrake Linux (since 1999) but only for servers and other work related stuff.

I love my Pinephone, not enough to use it as my main phone thou.

It's running Mobian, mostly because everything else I have is running Debian in some form, but it looks like the largest project is PostmarketOS.

Not sure if it qualify as distrohopping, but for a long time I tried to test every major Linux distro release, and they all had problems with sound, but when Ubuntu 5 came out everything worked out of the box, so I switched my desktop to Linux. A couple of years later, Ubuntu began some introducing some (IMO) questionable things, so I tested the main distros again and landed on Debian, most of all because I knew the system relatively well from Ubuntu.

The first desktop distro I tried was Mandrake (back in 1998), but since I use my desktop for making music, it was just too much work every time I wanted to record something back then.

As for servers, I have always just used what the customer wanted or had, and for most parts it was Red hat.

This seems to be fake.

First, why is the guy recording?

Found the original video made by he owner where he explains why he choose to record the technician: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLimCcnee9c

It also doesnt tell you that you can get security upgrades if you subscribe to ubuntu pro

Wow, do Ubuntu not have security updates in the "free" version?
