The menus are definitely busy and confusing (there are many options), but once it’s set up I’ve never been bothered by the UI. I quite like how emails are shown OOTB in fact, with the right padding and day separation; I also use most buttons that are offered by default. So yeah, sane defaults.

Off the top of my head what I like:

• you can search emails on the server! That’s the one feature I couldn’t forgo
• it detects unsubscribe links
• I remember having delays when using K9, with FairEmail not once. This could be fixed now
• it cleverly shows you’re connected to a VPN (which can be a problem with emails)
• maybe too many options, but a lot are actually useful

Not trying to say it’s better, to each their own. But it’s great.

edit: I received an email at 06:19 in fairemail. it’s now 06:56 and I just received it in thunderbird

It installs the packages directly from the respective github repos

Or you mean vetting the apps themselves and not the packages?

I don’t see it on F-Droid or Izzy’s repositories yet.

Obtainium (Get android app updates directly from the source) https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.imranr.obtainium.fdroid/

is handy for cases like these

This is what I’ve been missing the most since switching to Wayland.

I was testing again yesterday, on Fedora mainly.

lan-mouse is a bit clunky. It requires too many clicks to start on Gnome. bi-directional. Couldn’t get it to work on NixOS but I’m new to it.

Input leap can be finicky to install and set up too, depending on your system. For some reason on my setup it lags a lot, and from time to time I have to reconnect. They don’t give an easy access to builds, but you can find them. It requires to be connected with a GitHub account though.

Crash on degoogled phones (dev is already aware)

Thank you for this detailed answer. It’s very interesting, and indeed a service worker sounds like a good answer to my bad connection

A community shared list of preferences for each website would be handy! but I don’t know if it’s feasible in terms of privacy

Never thought of that!
I rent a small VPS, so I could use that. Although my connection is really shitty I wouldn’t want it to load every time I open a new tab

I do that and it works really well, but you still need to use Mozilla’s servers for authentification. But it’s been a while so maybe there’s a way to host that too now.

A few years back NoScript was often recommended. I used it for a while but I’m not sure I did it right.

First time you go to a new website do you go through the process of allowing some scripts to make it usable?

I’ve used Yunohost for years on a cheap VPS. It’s easy to install, does most of the work for you, and low maintenance.

Issues sometimes occur with major updates, but often easy to fix, and users in the forum are willing to help.

Every program in your list is available.

I highly recommend it.

Your link is for an iGPU

Here for Intel Arc

From January but it hasn’t improved all that much

The fix for power consumption is changing a setting for ASPM in motherboard (if it supports it) and pluging the monitor in the motherboard directly. It worked for me on windows but not on linux (no workaround AFAIK) This means 40W idling instead of 1W

STOP recommending Intel Arc for Linux, people. Do any of you saying that even own one?

Intel dGPU

That’s not the best idea. Performances are not even close of what they are on Windows
Also there’s an idle power draw issue which can sometimes be fixed on windows but not on linux

Thanks!

I’m looking for a device to read comics (bandes dessinées, the taller A4 format), newspapers, rss feeds

I use an ipad for now, but I’d like to get rid of it

It needs high definition (at least 1440p) in a 12" or 13" screen. (11 too, less ideal), and to stay cool while reading/light browsing

I would love for this to be a Linux device.
Could this be it? What would be the cheapest option?

edit: a surface pro 3 at 200€?

For Wayland there’s Waynergy (no clipboard I believe). I haven’t tried it yet

If your download gets interrupted, you can continue it using the ‘-c’ option.

This should be the default (or maybe it is already?)

You can have as many Os as you want for the same price. or cheaper even. It just makes economical sense. They’ll see that.
