Plus Google doing all they can to make rooting harder. Beginning to think it isn’t worth it anymore. I definitely need it now to get rid of the horrid MIUI skin, but for my next phone I might just go for one with a stockish skin and keep it as is.

I faced this without an OS installed, my storage wasn’t encrypted. Something to do with orangefox, because twrp worked normally.
UI is fine… UX is a few good steps backward
Severe inconsistent quality issues in both software and hardware, treating their customers as beta testers, random motherboards dying, etc.
They are still riding the ‘flagship killer’ wave, but they are just as overpriced as Samsung, while offering unfinished products.
Wouldn’t recommend Oneplus anymore.
At the high end, Samsung has been pretty solid with their S lineup. The FE models are a good compromise as well. Pixels are a hit or miss, I’d recommend waiting for issues to surface before deciding on the 8/8 pro.
On the more budget - midrange side of things, Motorola has been doing a fairly solid job. They do have a lot of models, so some youtube videos should give you a fair idea on what’s right for you.
Oh damn. It was at auto, which I assumed was 100% (the lowest value)
I set it to 100 manually and it looks a lot better, thanks!
The UI is horrendously large on my 14 inch 1080p display too
Can you elaborate about Element/Matrix?
I’m losing it in the hospital corridor lmao
Would suggest jellyfin over Plex due to the latter’s increasing corporate greed.
Optional:
This is a super simplified list, but the wikis are easy enough to get started with.
Edit: cjf has listed some useful links for the same
Can this somehow be used in the Private DNS android setting?
Honestly straight arch was more stable for me. I barely knew anything about the AUR back then, I didn’t break it installing or tweaking anything. I just customised KDE a bit. I didn’t even have a dedicated GPU - I was using Intel integrated
Manjaro. It just breaks itself randomly, and performs poorly. Endeavour / ARCO Linux are more stable
Isn’t catturd one of Elon’s greatest fanboys? Lmao
I might be wrong on this though
TKAMB is a must read.
Personally, I couldn’t get through Sapiens. Ikigai was great though, and it is pretty short.
I’m Indian. I’m the techy friend - I build PCs and daily drive Windows and do tech support.
In my experience, every single person who has expressed interest in Linux has either mentioned the words ‘hacking’ or ‘Kali’ in the first sentence.
Saved you a click: it’s Motorola’s Moto G Stylus 5G (2023)
Had you installed the native programs or everything on docker?
