As someone trying to learn as much about Linux as possible, why specifically AMD? Does it have certain advantages with Linux?

That’s promising to hear! For the drivers are you using Open GPU?

I still have to look into the 1080s compatibility with this. Thanks OP for mentioning it.

Thanks! I am still very new to Linux and have been learning the OS through OpenSUSE on an old laptop. Still debating which Linux distro to switch to for the windows desktop (the one with the 1080)

Geforce GTX 1080

I am interested in Bazzite, but am unsure about its compatibility with NVIDIA GPUs. Had anyone here had experience with this?

I take this as further endorsement for Graphene tbh.

For android mobile I use Ironfox.

Its a fork of the now discontinued Mull browser.

Are these private friendly? I would assume that an ID would still be made on you based on purchases.

I feel your pain. Its ironic when there are loved ones that claim to be “animal lovers” while devouring an animal that knew nothing but torture its whole life. Even better when there are just as good vegan alternatives RIGHT NEXT TO IT on the menu and they still decide to go with torture.

Luckily my partner is also vegan, so I can rant to them about it later, but its really painful to watch the ignorance in real time.

It saddens me that even some leftest circles will see data that reveals the damages of the meat industry and turn a blind eye.

Morals aside, if data proving how inefficient factory farming is doesn’t persuade change, what will?

Hunters aren’t the demographic that are being targeted in this article. We can have this discussion once factory farming is dealt with.

Thank you for the explanation! So essentially, you use your sim free phone as a very portable laptop.

I like the idea of having a sim free phone and have a feature phone for cellular service. I miss the aesthetic of flip phones! I would just need to find one that supports hotspot (just in case) and decent navigation.

I am thinking of switching to graphene as well, but this is the first I am hearing about the risks of having a sim card. Apologize for my ignorance, but how would you get service on a phone without at least an esim card? I’m also interested in a high level of privacy and anonymity (within reason).

I was going to try signal until I learned that it requires a phone number. So instead I started trying out SimpleX.

I’ve been generally trying to keep my AI usage down, but when I absolutely need it, im more happy to support open source software.

So what’s next? Do we go back to team speak? Or is there something new and bright on the horizon?

I just switched to SimpleX from telegram due to privacy concerns. Good to see data wasn’t leaked to any requestors yet.
