When i think of Android i don't think of it as part of the gnu/linux ecosystem, but a heavily modified linux kernel turned against the user.

The problem with Android is it is very invasive and in my opinion untrustworthy. How many of these Android OS's from various vendors are not kept up to date, with unpatched vulnerabilities because they dump support to force upgrade their customers to the next model, when your phone should still be functionally viable. How many apps in the Android ecosystem are just info vacuums? It's a very predatory ecosystem and i would prefer a libre solution to these scumbag predatory corporations. It blows my mind how people are so numb to the abuses of these companies, they won't even consider alternatives. Iphones aren't a viable alternative either unless you're into joining abusive cults. I have both a Pinephone and a Librem 5, and they work fine if you don't mind horrible battery life, i just wish we had more alternatives and I'll put my money towards that endeavor.

I'm running Pop on my living room pc and it's fine, looking forward to Cosmic when it arrives. Also have Linux Mint cinnamon on my bedroom pc. Been thinking of going back to Arch, but i'm lazy so i'll stick with what i have unless i get annoyed enough to switch.

I got YouTube premium, honestly i use YT quite a bit so a hundred bucks for a year isn't that big a deal for me to get rid of annoying ads.

They funny thing about ubuntu touch, it's harder to install it to a pinephone than it is to a google phone.

They prefer the term "little planets".

You aren't supposed to know you can join or build your own communities, you must only accept which new land lord option the media presents you.

I feel for them because i switch games all the time on my deck, even with a 1tb sdcard on top of the 512gb, you have to remove games and install games all the time. I'm not going to feel guilty about this, they are my games, i paid for them and will install and uninstall as i see fit. Not out of malice, but because this is expected behavior. I imagine there are going to be a lot of lawsuits over this, and more than a few bankruptcies. They also can't remove games you've already paid for, so this is going to get interesting.

Runs fine on 5700xt as well medium settings, higher settings starts hitting FPS a bit hard.

Framerate limit 45, refresh 45, scaling filter FSR, FSR sharpness 5. In game settings set to low, upscaling set to fsr2. I'm no settings expert, seems to work for me. Will have to give the mod a try to see if it can do better.
