I’ll give it another try then! Last attempt it wouldn’t open.

I still use a stock pixel for work related and daily usage, but the alternatives I’ve found between F-Droid and Aurora store I’ve never felt lacking.

Maybe I’ll finish the switch fully in the coming months.

I did a fair amount of research before the switch to find alternatives to Google services, some I’ve replaced, others I felt were too much of a hassle for my phone usage.

I’ve kept my original pixel stock, the hardest part about switching this one over was plugging it in and following the instructions.

I’m hoping to get rid of my stock OS pixel soon, it would appear my bank hasn’t blocked it’s app on Graphene, unlike Uber.

For the rest I’ll either buy a cheap af shitbox to use purely for banking and Uber (if it comes to that).

If you’ve any other questions I’m happy to help find then answers with you, feel free to DM me.

Thanks for bringing this up, first I’ve heard of it. Not present on my GrapheneOS pixel, present on stock.

I suppose I should encourage pixel owners to switch from stock to graphene, I know which decide I rather spend time using. GrapheneOS one of course.

I still can’t decide if it’s end-stage capitalism or beggining-stage cyberpunk, or both.

New gen, same issues. Glad I jumped to AMD this build. No Nvidia product has been worth the cost:performance ratio for me since GTX10 series.

A weapon against sanity, yes.

Probably how they’ll force upgrade down the track, upgrade or we brick your shit.

Where can I buy one? Asking for a friend.

It’s the only ring I’ve seen in years I would actually wear.

Everyone keeps forgetting that we’re all just what monkeys evolved into…

I thought I was imagining this until I put a 1080p episode on one monitor and a 1080p YT vid on another. The difference was night and day.

Similar story here tbh.

Do we have a rough idea for when the 2 will be coming? Id almost rather wait for newer hardware if it’s not too far off.

Been telling folks for ages I’m not getting a steamdeck until I can give my money direct to valve.

Yeah, I member.

I’m taking a dual-boot route, it does have it’s issues. Unfortunately due to work related and gaming reasons I can’t let go of it just yet.

I went with Linux Mint and I’ve been happy as Larry since I got used to it. But distro hop until you find your fit I’d say, I had spare hardware I was distro-hopping with and Mint just fit me best I think.

You’re spot on with Ventoy, it’s a huge boon. I only recently became aware of it, absolutely love it already. I highly recommend giving it a go.

Awesome writeup, I’ll likely refer to it in future.

6700XT dual, it stays cool, runs 1440p ultra and older 4k (newer stuff with some FSR) and I got it for 507AUD 6-7months ago.

I’m waiting till I see a good price on a 5900x/5950x for the rig I recently built with 5800x, the 5800x rips though I will keep it and do another build with it.

Fuckin gunzel
