debian. friendly and large community, no weird antifeatures like ubuntu

that’s a downgrade from m1 pro

never get L or E series, only get T/P/X series

panasonic letsnote (not the toughbook) is actually also quite decent. but it’s hard to get unless you’re in japan

i actually don’t even use microg, there’s no problem at all. you don’t get push messages, and some apps might not run tho i havent encountered any yet. (i don’t run banking, drm, anything like that)

upstream linux does accept AI “assisted” patches. if this gets properly mainlined, why wouldn’t it run Nura?

i think i did this long time ago with WSL. there was some way to mount a physical disk’s filesystem.

soulseek is very easy to use. everyone shares a folder on their computer, and one can query keywords on everyone’s directory listing and download off of them.

install the client nicontine+ (on desktop. if on android, use ‘seeker’. there’s none for ios), choose a nickname, set a shared folder, optionally fill it with some media you already have, and you can start using immediately. i recommend setting the shared folder the same as the soulseek download folder so you get to share what you download.

since soulseek is P2P and requires direct network connection, at least one of two peers need open ports. so if you have open ports you can download from everyone, but with closed ports you can only download from those who have their ports open. so, port forwarding is optional and not strictly necessary.

i haven’t ever heard of receiving letters from ISP because of soulseek, since it’s surprisingly quite under the radar for some reason. ISP letters are usually because of torrents. but still, soulseek protocol is unencrypted so it’s not impossible. because of this i don’t recommend usage on public wifi. use it through a VPN if you can.

the F-Droid repository IzzyOnDroid has pretty good AI policy. (#)

We are strongly opposed to apps which are fully or in part created by generative AI tools.

i used to download from deezer when public ARLs were extremely easy to get and use, but they got more restrictive recently. these days i just soulseek.

thanks! will look into it

this is true, refurb drives should be avoided unless it’s a very good deal. used drives are fine as long as the conditions are clear.

sorry for keeping you wait for so long. please try downloading this boot.img file and booting it. i’ve modified the original boot.img’s default.prop to enable ADB.

boot that using fastboot boot tecno-ki7_boot_adb.img, and right after that run sudo dmesg -w to see any new USB device appearing. Also open another terminal and try adb devices, adb shell etc and see if you can communicate with the device while it’s in the boot animation stage.

if the new boot.img i provided doesn’t work please let me know, we might need to nullify vbmeta

slackware?

if you can unlock it, you can get it running.

similar specs mean you can take the existing port as reference, but it probably won’t work as-is.

if you can’t get a device specific port, you can always run a treble gsi rom

just tested now, it works

well then i’d try annas, they have all zlib’s stuff and their download is slightly faster for me

maybe try zlibrary telegram bot

yes i did read it. the original name had pretty good recognition among linux nerds already, it’s kinda long but usually shortened as pmOS so i don’t see how problematic that is.

and the new name just seems too generic/unmemorable… imagine you hear “postmarketOS running on Galaxy S10” and you instantly know its some alternate OS ported to that phone unlike “Nura on Galaxy S10”. It doesn’t even have “OS” in the name…

i don’t get it. their previous name was way better.

can that dense code be scanned with a phone? pretty sure mine can’t
