  • As a matter of fact, I spent about a year on my 7 Pro, and just got my hands on a Pixel 8 Pro. I am finishing installing GrapheneOS on it right now.

  • Oh, yeah, I did delete them (again, right after you) as soon as I saw that. Have been having this issue in voyager where it tells me it wasn't posted, so I try again and then it's duplicated. I did not check that one again, and I do apologize for being careless. I'll be more careful moving forward. Thank you.

  • Out of curiosity, why did a mod delete my comment? I don't recall saying anything out of place, unless mentioning that I pay for a service that actually works is forbidden.

  • I'm very particular to Fedora based distros, mainly because they sort of just work and keep at the cutting edge of the spectrum with little to no headaches.

    If you want to go immutable, Bazzite is pretty solid for gaming, so is Kinoite.

    But I can also recommend some Ubuntu/Debian based distros, as they are easy to maintain. PopOS and Linux mint are very good options as well. I would also suggest staying away from Ubuntu itself.

    I've tried some arch based distros over the years, but end up dropping them because I find them unnecessarily convoluted to maintain and troubleshoot, but that's just me.

  • It is satisfying to see stuff like this. Thank you for sharing.

  • We're in the same boat. I've had no luck with pirated games and bottles, and zero issues on Lutris (other than they do take considerably longer to install than on bottles).

  • About the pirated SW, I run a couple of games pirated either over Lutris or Heroic, and they work just fine. Sins of a Solar empire 1 and 2 basically.

  • That's a load of crap. Anything you have to subscribe to will turn out to be more expensive than owning at some point. And even if that was not the case, the monetary value that you give your data is what should determine how much you should pay, up front or over time.

  • Agreed. If it was for a search engine, it would make some sense, but the browser, WTF for?

  • Glad I could help.

  • For SMS, Quik is the replacement I use for QKSMS, and it works the same, allowing blocking, back Up and all that good stuff.

    For phone, I've heard good things of Clever dialer and Phone +, but I use GrapheneOS's dialer, so I can't say out of experience.

  • We live in very different realities, buddy.

  • I have half of what you have. Did away with Google Photos and moved to self-hosted Immich. No regrets. My case could be somewhat different though, since I only share my pictures and videos with my wife (almost 1TB between pics and videos).

    I'm sold on Pixels, mainly because they are basically the only phones that can be seamlessly deGoogled (the irony).

  • That's just one of the reasons why I completely killed my Amazon subscription, same with Disney and Netflix. Fuck that DRM BS.

    Just get your stuff on the high seas and enjoy. I do subscribe to Max, and can play it all at 4K HDR in all my devices. I'll pay for services as long as they're worth it.
