103·1 year agoTo all the people who didn’t see the point in moving away from Chromium browsers, THIS IS THE POINT!
201·1 year agoLife long windows user currently dual booting and trying to fully switch.
I’ve gotten used to the terminal and I’m no stranger to editing config files but I still find myself saying ‘This could literally be a toggle or drop down menu’
I can mostly put up with it but I got friends who REALLY hate digging into files for basic stuff like global dark mode, If it’s not in a GUI it’s as good as none existent to some.
In my journey away from corpo bullshit into more open-source stuff and trying to pull my friends along, I’ve come to realize convenience is a hard drug to ween off.
It’s almost impossible convincing some people to give up on cloud services because anything that’s more effort than logging into one account on a new device is too much. It’s not like these people are new to tech either, their patience has just been eroded over time by (usually invasive) convenience features.
Also gonna state I don’t think making tech more convenient is a bad thing, doing so without encroaching on peoples privacy and freedom should be the goal.
Awesome thank you!
Haven’t had much luck, Seems most FOSS OS projects I found stating compatibility with Samsung are either dead or very early devolopment.
I did find one guide for removing google crap from seemingly any Android device, I’m still looking into and I ain’t super tech savvy and still learning the FOSS ways.

Been trying to switch to Linux but sadly back on Windows 10 after using Pop!_OS for the previous month. Half my issues were with the Nvidia and audio drivers the last one was my system randomly not booting and not letting me load a previous restore point I had saved on Timeshift.
I still want to get on the Linux train since I’ve been unhappy with Windows since 8 and it’s just getting worse and worse. There was a lot of stuff I really liked about Linux from testing in it VMs and my month with Pop!_OS.
Thug Pro for Tony Hawk’s Underground 2.
Plutonium for multiple older Call of Duty games.
IW4x for Modern Warfare 2 (2009), IW4x was DMCA’d semi recently but the mod still works, it’s just no longer being maintained and the server browser has a few bugs.
Even for games I’ve bought off Steam I still use community run multiplayer mods a lot because they tend to either add more functionality or replace dead servers for older games.
