Choice of Compact Android Smartphone - 2024 edition
  • Is there an unofficial Graphene OS ROM for S23? Because if there isn't and you want to try it, the Pixel remains your only choice. Have you had a look at Zenfone (8/9/10)? When my S9 comes to its EOL, one of those will most likely be my choice. (I won't lie, I prefer to have the 3.5mm jack on my phone!)

  • Linux Ubuntu Dual-booting horror
  • I've been happily dualbooting Win10/Mint for years on the very machine I'm writing from. Zero issues with boots, GRUB, no need for flatpaks, both systems work fine, both configs heavily customized.

  • Linux Ubuntu Dual-booting horror
  • What was your starting point? Having Windows on the machine already and installing Ubuntu on top of it? (that would be commonly regarded as the 'correct' order) If not, and you can afford to scrap everything, that's what I'd go for. If yes, and it's Ubuntu that's messing up your dual boot, I'd see if Windows can be restored after removing Ubuntu, and then try a different distro (I'd go with Mint Cinnamon, it normally provides smooth install experience).

  • Stop using Brave Browser
  • Mozilla deals with Google

    With how much revenue comes from those deals, we might say it's practically financed by Google. FF is more Google than Chromium-based Brave if you follow the money.

  • Which search engine should I use?
  • I don’t want to use Brave Search for a number of reasons.

    Mind sharing? I'm curious because I switched to DDG several days ago, after a good while of using Brave. My reasons were:

    • defaulting to Moderate safe search every couple of days
    • inability to provide me with good results for simple '[word] wiktionary' queries
    • having to block some elements of their result templates manually, using their own browser's filtering feature (featured snippets, definitions etc)
    • poorer search results compared to what they were a year, two ago

    Some people here mentioned Kagi and I liked it a lot when I was beta-testing it, but I will only start paying for using it when they introduce full support for Boolean operators, which most likely means never.
