I use CachyOS on my X220 with btrfs and lzo as disk compression (lzo is very good on old cpus and makes the SSD go really fast). But I think any distro could be good on that hardware.
As a side note, I would really like an x86_64-v2 distro, people jumped from no additional instructions to v3 in no time, but these thinkpads and older pcs could really shine with that kind of optimization.
It’s just my opinion, but omarchy looks like that kid who says they’re VERY hardcore.
Yeah, so it’s bad :/
If I remember well, the guy on the video played audio (speakers and bluetooth) and called through the phone, so IDK what partial means, maybe some specific breakage, or the wiki is not updated.
He opened youtube, the desktop website loads (I think the best website for a smartphone would be the mobile youtube, but the desktop one loaded and played videos).
There’s a lot of DEs for postmarketos, there’s KDE mobile, phosh, some WMs too, etc.
About getting only a few devices 100%, I disagree. If there was only some phones with postmarketos, I couldn’t get one, like the Oneplus 6T, there isn’t one selling online in Brazil right now, I would have to import it, so the other best I could find was the Redmi Note 9s, this gives options, even if it’s not the best I could contribute if I find something wrong, because why not? It’s a enthuasiast operating system, so I guess more development can happen if more devices (easily bought ones) are at least compatible.
Yeah, I think volte might be hard to implement, and might be device specific. Volte on the Oneplus 6 is experimental, so in the future it might come to other devices.
I bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s just to put postmarketos on it, I’ve heard that the Oneplus 6T runs well too.
I think postmarketos is kinda good now, so I want to try it as my daily driver (with waydroid and the waydroid script (it handles some things like GAPPS, root if you want it, device certification, etc) too).
I would recomend it, but you need to check the feature matrix, to see if something is working. On the Redmi Note 9s and the Oneplus 6T, almost everything is in the feature matrix.
Here’s a video of the Oneplus 6T running postmarketos with gnome, the channel has other DEs too and battery comparisons too.
Edit: I’m now waiting for xiaomis shitty wait 2 weeks to unlock the bootloader, it should be yesterday, but out of nowhere, it’s 4 days from now…
I was talking about gnome bugs, not that bugs affect extensions, my english is not the best.
About the extensions, idk if there are wildcards in the metadata.json, but I think it would solve this issue of updating and then extensions breaking, because I’ve seen that the only extensions that break put only specific versions, so you can add the current version on the file when you update or update the extension manually.
I have a ThinkPad x1 tablet gen 2. These x1 tablets are very cheap when used or refurbished and you can install any linux distro, as they are using x86_64 cpus.
I use it with gnome and cachyos, the optimizations really help and gnome has, in my opinion, the best touchscreen feel, it’s very polished for this.
Bugs happen every gnome version change, it’s a given, now it’s autorotate not working, but it will be fixed. But extensions just need updating, normally they give an update right before the version launch.
But i never had seen the person on the second painel, gnome development works in this way, if you use a tablet on a bleeding edge distro, you are pratically on gnomes QA team hahahhaha

I just put a video of a depressed phd student trying to make some money on, like dig, that explains some of the bronze age archeology and history.
Are you tring to study for some exam or just learning about something?
