Idk, I didn’t design their website ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
From the ROM website’s footer:
A custom ROM based on AOSP, which offers a minimal UI enhancement & close to stock pixel Android ROM with great “Performance”, “Security” and “Stability”.
I see now why they “quoted” stability :P
Oh, and just using ADB is enough to trigger the code to wipe the data. But that’s fine according to the developer because “its just a format data, not like your phone gets destroyed”
What makes this even funnier is that on their website they say that the ROM is great and all (with very poor grammar and odd phrasing), but they don’t say what they actually changed. The closest thing I could find was their screenshot gallery where they show some new icons and AI-generated wallpapers
Also corporate memphis art everywhere because why not lol
I feel sorry for anyone who was using this ROM, but this whole thing is hilarious
Not really surprising considering that (IIRC) it’s the default on the Gnome variants of Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora
But keep in mind that voluntary data tends to be pretty skewed

I would add:
cheat
- a tool that lets you make and use your own cheatsheets
gomi
- replacement for the rm
command that has a trashcan, so if you accidentally delete something important you can just restore it
bat
- modern cat
, with features like syntax highlighting, line numbers, etc
eza
- modern ls
, with cool features like file icons
broot
- a different than ranger
/lf
approach to navigating folders
mdr
- a markdown viewer
Also, I think you should add a note that ranger
should be installed from git because most distros package version 1.9.3 and that is 4 year out of date and has lots of bugs that have been fixed in the git master branch
NixOS. There are lots of great things about it (like atomic upgrades, easy rollbacks, no dependency hell, safely mixing stable and unstable packages, and more) but it’s killer feature is that (almost) everything about the system is specified in a single config file
I’d describe it as “NeoVim for people who don’t want to spend time configuring it”. It has syntax highlighting (for pretty much any language you can think of) and LSP support out of the box. And the config file is just a TOML file. Here’s my current config for example:
theme = "monokai_pro_spectrum"
[editor]
line-number = "relative"
middle-click-paste = false
[editor.statusline]
mode.normal = "NORMAL"
mode.insert = "INSERT"
mode.select = "SELECT"
That’s it. No need to deal with Lua or VimScript
Also using commands after typing the :
is easier than in NeoVim since Helix will show you a list of available commands and a description of the closest match (or the one you choose from the list with the tab key). It looks like this:
I use Helix for quickly editing files and coding
I was talking about FF on PC, but I’ll try this tomorrow
No, I just assumed that it could break things
Oh thanks, I didn’t know about unbranded builds
Also, regular FF stores settings and profiles in ~/.mozilla/firefox
, do you know where unbranded builds of FF store them?
Edit: nvm someone else in this thread said to open about:profiles, and the path to profile folder is there
Yeah, my mom didn’t have issues with that, but she did have issues with other almost as basic stuff
Yeah, but when I tried to get my mom to use Linux, she kept asking me how to do some things like moving a file, printing a PDF, saving a document in Libreoffice (even though she had no trouble doing it on Windows also with Libreoffice) etc. I’ve set up everything to be as seamless and close to Windows as possible but she still always had trouble doing something so I gave up, and reinstalled Windows. Ig my mom is just less tech savy than your family ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mostly yeah
I think the reason is that 1. Linux is still too hard for the average person and 2. The average person just doesn’t care
Yes, you don’t have to write bash scripts or compile the kernel yourself, but still, Linux is different in many ways from Windows. This is on top of the fact that most people don’t know much about tech in general and often have problems with (imo) very basic stuff. I honestly can’t imagine them downloading an ISO file, flashing it onto an USB stick and then booting from it. Most people probably don’t even know that Windows != PC
Then there’s also the fact that the average person just doesn’t care. They just want to get things done
(sidenote: I might sound elitist but I’m not. I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect everyone to be interested in tech, just like it’s not reasonable to, for example, expect everyone to be interested in cars. It just so happens that the tech industry is tightly connected to freedom, privacy, etc. while the car industry is not)
I’m using a OnePlus 6
It’s really fast and has a headphone jack, and you can get a second-hand one for really cheap (I got mine for ~170$). The preinstalled software sucks, but I’ve installed LineageOS on it and I’m really enjoying it
The only thing I don’t like is that the battery is non-removable
AFAIK not yet
Like, complaining that Adobe doesn’t want to support Firefox is like complaining because your Norton Antivirus doesn’t like your VPN. It’s kinda to be expected
I’d say this is different because Firefox is a browser. It renders websites in the (almost) exact same way as Chrome. If OP changed their useragent to a Chrome one, the site would most likely work perfectly fine. But for some reason Adobe went out of their way to block Firefox users
FINALLY someone gets this. I don’t care about the “premium look” whatever that means, I just don’t want my phone to break when I accidentally drop it. Which is why I always put a case on my phone
In fact, I’m pretty sure phone manufacturers started putting glass on the back of phones specifically to make them less durable so that customers buy a new phone sooner
