Also, aren’t there some subreddits that let you post if you have a certain amount of karma?

I thought graphene os has sandbox for google play services? Couldn’t you use that with a qr code scanner and whatever else you need to bypass their attempts at locking down the ecosystem entirely, at least on GOS?

I think (I may be wrong here) that Debian wild be good enough for beginners. Their stable branch is, well… stable, and i didn’t run into that many issues (I think it would only be when you want to run stuff that isn’t either a flatpak or in the repos, like i tried to do with howdy). Testing would also be good ,but expect a few issues.

I’d also recommend the A series (I got recommended the A1 from a friend when I was starting out), and it’s been pretty great so far. As for the slicers, I know you can use OrcaSlicer with Bambu printers (as well as with a ton of others too)
