Maybe buy used iPhone. Privacy wise it's better than stock Android. Banking apps should be working and you get more years of security updates than cheap Android.

Still using my old trusty Galaxy Tab S 5e but batteryis showing its age. Thinking of Tab S9 which has unofficial LineageOS at XDA, modern CPU and OLED. Cannot find anything else to replace S5e. Most new tablets eithet too big or LCD.

Thanks for clarifying, Jorge. I wish I lived in a perfect world where all hardware and software follow FOSS principles. Until then I will have to rely on the other distros that embrace an imperfect reality. I cannot reconcile how Bluefin targets developers and NVidia, unfortunately is not something many of those developers can afford to ignore. Good luck with your project!

Jorge, OP asked about “not having to really touch anything for a couple of years”. I am just sharing my experience. Big fan of containers and really appreciate your efforts of pulling containers tech into Linux desktop. Thank you!

I don’t understand the answer though. Maybe I am missing something here. There’s an official Bluefin-DX-Nvidia iso. Nvidia-containers-toolkit was part of that iso.

On a separate note, I liked the idea of GTS edition. Since few weeks ago iso became unavailable pending some fix. At the same time I see loads of new LTS edition buzz. It’s still in Alpha though. I feel confused.

Yeah, sure. I was running Bluefin-DX. One day image maintainers decided to replace something and things break. UBlue is an amazing project. Team is trying hard but it's definitely not zero mainainace. I fear they are chasing so many UBlue flavours, recently an LTS one based on CoreOS, spreading thin.

Wayland makes it complicated, at least until the tools mature. In X11 one could do a lot, using wmctrl and xdotool. For Wayland Gnome, you might want to look at "Run or raise" and "Window calls" extensions. "Grand theft focus" might be handy too if you are switching apps across workspaces.

Furniture was a "luxury" item. We had very a few and ugly options, produced by socialist / plan economy manufacturing industry. Quality wise these were meh... Even then one needed to jump through the hoops to buy the ugly and not very affordable furniture. Rumours about new batch coming to a local store and you have a long queue waiting for hours, sometimes days. Anything better imported from abroad, was super difficult to get hold of. Unless you're a member of the socialist gov and have connections.

As a person who grew up in a socialist country, I say be careful what you wish for.

Just checked Forge. Seems like repo had been archived 2 days ago. Ouch... I was so hopeful. Maintaining a FOSS project is a lot of work. I am very grateful to all the devs that are doing it. Thisagain reminds thatwe need to donate and support greatdevs. Couldn't help but notice the pattern. Bismuth / KDE, Forge / Gnome.

What other problems left to solve? Right, let's change the logo.

I love Americans 🤦 There's the whole world out there with working people depending on cars.
