Maybe look into Garuda as an additional alternative to EndeavousOS and Manjaro. I’m using it on a gaming rog and haven’t had any significant issues regarding stability.
It is my absolute pleasure.

So there’s no more or less stable distro based on arch?
Garuda is very nice. Only thing I have atm is that there are some issues with updating the system where it doesn’t connect to the garuda repo servers or whatever. I’m not proficient enough to know if it’s their stuff that breaks or the base arch, so I wonder if doing the tedious thing and installing a base arch system myself would be better to understand everything. It’s my first linux system for reference.
Is it that bad? I have only experiences with AMD on garuda linux for reference and ot works mostly fine with the exception that audio occasionally stops working for one or two seckns during videos.
Only last year I’ve switched from Windows to Linux and I choose Garuda because I wanted to learn Arch from the beginning. Boy am I happy how well it worked out of the box. The most annoying issue was to get the xbox gamepad dongle to work but aside from the it’s so good.
That would be the funniest end to Reddit. Going bankrupt because the superstonks people short their stock.
Do you have any non-Play AOSP suggestions that run on less popular devices? Everytime I hear about a newandroid distro it’sostly for Nexus phones and a few other popular phones. I have e. g. a Wiko Power U30 thats okay (and mostly cheap) that I would love to use with something better.
Kudos, very nice write-up!
Call it public violence
After reading the headline I thought at first: “Which one?”
You need to get out of the parking garage from Driver to boot your PC from now on.
That thing looks really interesting, I’ve only two problems from a first glance:
I’m not informed on mobile CPUs, the thing looks fine, but aren’t 3 GB RAM not way too less these days? I mean my cheap ass 150€ wiko phone has six
I get it that companys like that one have smaller margins than big tech, but 1000 $ for that phone? Why does not a single of these FOSS/privacy/degoogle companies offer a budget phone around 300 bucks? I don’t need a device that runs crysis in 4K, I just want to communicate, browse the web, answer mails, and take okayish photos on something different than big tech spyware.
I’m curious about changing to a Linux smartphone, on which device are you using Linux mobile?
Then you have the mainstream user that can’t be bothered to even install an adblocker. It is mind-boggling.
I did get the splash notification about adblockers a few times ago on a linux garuda system with firefox and ublock, but after popping up on two videos it was gone.
I just want a de-googled 200-250€ smartphone with a headphone jack.
I’m not paying that ridiculous amount of money just to get a small phine that fits in my parents pocket. Foldable phones at the moment is just a fad that they push to keep enthusiats engaged and prices high. Same like to hyperfocus on 4k Raytracing in gaming.
Next they put ads in your ads as well.
Not to be confused with Linux
Linux Mint (I’d recomment Debian edition, LMDE) is basically what you want to try out. I’ve set up a PC with it for my stepfather that hasn’t used Linux at all and he’s happy with it. It’s designed to be as newbie-friendly as possible. You won’t have more issues with it than you’ll already have using Windows.
Then if you feel unsatisfied with anything about it, you can go looking for other linux distributions (distros) because you have a general idea what’s happening.
