I can't read anything from that website but I trust you. It's been a while I am away from debian based distro and digging a bit : the problem is not that you need a ppa but you want the very latest version of the driver. You can have your reasons for that.

Mesa drivers are properly packaged from debian and forks alike. Going out of this way to install package from unknown people/org has its risk indeed. If newer GPU/graphics chipset would need newer driver I still make a point that this should be the manufacturer responsibility and not community to work from opaque implementation.

this is 11 years ago situation. there are still ppa requirements for Nvidia last time I checked but not for mesa.

could you be more explicit? not that I do not trust you but I'd like to know more.

I am not here to defend mint, never used it, but saying that a graphic driver can brick your system is spreading misinformation.

Bricking is very serious and means that your device becomes as useful as a brick. It can happen when damaging the hardware or firmware.

It seems you had a bad experience with graphic driver, this is 99% of the time the responsibility/fault of the GPU manufacturer (I guess Nvidia for you, AMD is not that friendly either). At worse you plug a bootable USB to recover your files and reinstall Linux.

it is sad to see people falling again and again on the same traps.

Murena is not our friend, it is very much business-minded, and /e/os is also lacking in privacy and customer respect (going straight to the worse of AI company with OpenAI, pushing/forcing you into their VPN stuff)

Here we have a 1200€ phone (who buys that? Tesla owners?) with 2022 hardware (Mali g615, really?) and amoled screen we never asked for (maybe Linux tech tips kinda folks want that yeah).

I like privacy indeed, give me linux please, don't sell me half-decade old hardware for insane price just because "hardware kill switch" (librem guys came back?). Don't shove amoled in my throat and give me my reliable audio jack. Then we're talking

What's nova launcher? All I can find is a seemingly proprietary Android launcher with a Twitter as only social media. Doesn't scream FOSS to me.

you're giving some hopes about this community.

you have a very limited understanding of flatpack if you think you can use it to install your init system.

There's no piracy as alternative in the list.

If you search about it you can lock your bootloader with LineageOS.

"CEO" is the company, we are still in a capitalist society. The board would also count but we can very safely assume they're agreeing.

yet an other hardware from 10+ years ago. here we have an ARM Cortex-A53 from what it seems to be 2012. Maybe it is actually compatible with OpenGL 3...

hosted on GitHub, the irony...

Use dark theme by default

OK you have my upvote

it used to be cheaper, and with an audio jack. Add some environment and social consideration and I see many reasons to buy it.

Or you can buy a Google phone from Amazon and text about privacy or freeing Palestine while sipping your Starbucks coffee in your Tesla car.

Not everything has to be about how much do you personally get for the money you give.

I am so glad I could get the Faiphone 3 while it still had an audio jack. At that time the hardware was not too far behind, still too much for my use which is mainly scrolling through obscure left-ish forums and YouTube channels (thanks newpipe) and startups late-stage capitalist hacker news (I don't know any better about tech).

The current version has a critical security vulnerability (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-51/) but to fix it the new version compiled against libclang version 27 but Google decided to remove it from Android so the building pipeline needs to be adjusted.

There's a long discussion: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/merge_requests/63 , about building the newer version

In the meanwhile the app is a security hazard.

I don't see any cycle here, qemu-deskyop needs qemu-base and that's it.

I think you meant that qemu-desktop is orphan.

EDIT: I am back on my pc so I can share a magic command to clean your orhpan packages (stares at electron) -> sudo pacman -Qdtq | sudo pacman -Rn -

knowing nothing about the situation is indeed the problem. if only this process was more transparent...

Are we implying that we should tap every phone call?

We can say a lot of very bad stuff over the phone too. Should we have a way to prevent this?
