I use Ecosia (which uses Bing results) and it seems decent, although I haven’t used Google or DDG in a while so I can’t compare.

Like 4 or 5 years ago I bought a refurbished Pixel 2 XL for like $150 or $200 or something. Works great, I don’t need to upgrade (although storage is a little small). The only issue is it hasn’t had security updates since 2020 which is a little scary.

Yeah, I used it a couple years ago, and for walking especially it seemed really cool, since it has all sorts of extra data like slopes and benches or whatever. But there are a whole ton of settings everywhere, which is cool that you can customise everything but also a bit of a mess. Definitely more for power users it seems.

Sounds kinda like NixOS, although that’s not platform-agnostic.

I believe Syncthing isn’t on iOS.

On System Settings’ Night Light page, the time input fields for manual time mode are no longer a nightmare, because they’ve been replaced with a set of spinboxes (Natalie Clarius, Plasma 6.1)

Oh thank goodness, that page has always felt a bit weird.

Switched like a year ago or so, not really any difference on my AMD pc and Intel laptop. Now I need wayland for HDR on Plasma 6 so there’s no way I could go back personally, as well as the great multi-monitor and fractional scaling handling.

Technically, the morning is when the sun rises and night is when the sun sets. The sun decides to set earlier and we just have to go along with having more night.

You mean… a prompt that needs a second click to run the program?

What I do is have a separate /synced/media/music folder on both my pc and phone, and use syncthing for that and don’t worry about the default Android music folder.

For playlists I do that on my pc with the music player Strawberry, I can add songs to a playlist and save it as a .m3u file in that same /synced/media/music folder. The playlists still work on my phone since it’s just local paths from the root of my music folder. I would do playlists on my phone as well but I use JetAudio which is pretty buggy and doesn’t let me modify .m3u playlists, although I’m sure some other player would let you create and modify them.

I’ve played Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 on Linux and both work fine.

It doesn’t really matter which distro you use for gaming, just get one that is popular and well-supported such as Kubuntu or Fedora or Pop!_OS or whatever. Ones like Arch and Gentoo would be pretty complicated so I wouldn’t recommend those until you feel comfortable.

I’ve been using NixOS and I’ve never had to worry about my system, because even if I did break it I can just wipe it and reinstall from my config files and it’ll be almost exactly the same as before.

Most distros are almost exactly the same, NixOS and Guix are a bit different but if you get Ubuntu or Fedora or PopOS or something they all work fine.

I like using NixOS on my desktop, and it does have a rolling release channel, but it can be pretty complicated to learn. Messing around on the Macbook would be a good way to learn and try it out, and then copying your config to your pc would be easy.

Yeah, NixOS has both stable and rolling release channels so you can choose which you want to use, and you can even use unstable packages while on the stable channel. And you can just not update for a couple months and it’ll be fine.
