Just launch the app once, it'll automatically create the folder. You can then access it from a file manager. I used Solid Explorer but any file manager should work.

There isn't one because this (PC emulation on Android) is a fast moving target with lots of different apps, with variations and combinations of both hardware and software. So if a particular game works for someone, there's no guarantee that it can work for you, even if you're on a similar setup. Eg, they could be using a different DKVK version or a different graphics driver and so in.

Also, Winlator is relatively new, you may have better luck with Box64Droid.

Yep, but not complex ones. Photoshop for instance will not work, same with the current version of Office 365. But older versions might work, eg Photoshop CS6, or Office 2015 etc. You can check https://appdb.winehq.org/ as a rough reference - bearing in mind that since you're running this on ARM + emulated x86, there's bound to be a lot more bugs.

Nope! Makes no difference either way, as it runs using proot which is entirely in userspace.

Mine was Mandrake 6. RedHat 5.2 was my first, and I was surprised how much easier Mandrake was in comparison. But the one that really wowed me was SuSE (before they became OpenSUSE), I was blown away how polished and user-friendly it was. Windows 9x/ME felt like a joke in comparison at time. And some people still claim Linux isn't user friendly... and I'm like, bruh it's been user friendly for about three decades now...

Not sure about this upcoming development, but they had the math part solved already via a Wolfram Alpha plugin which integrated into ChatGPT. As you may already know, Wolfram can already solve complex math problems with just a natural language input, so this isn't anything revolutionary.

What would be revolutionary though is if it applied that same sort of logic beyond math, like towards language (and visual) outputs and be able to fact check, or at the very least, not contradict itself or hallucinate like it does sometimes.

As others have said, there's Vanilla and Endless, but both use GNOME.

Is there a reason why it has to be Debian? With an immutable distro, you won't be using traditional package managers anyway (like apt), all have the same stability factor, and with the same systemd + KDE, it's more or less the same experience regardless of which distro you go for.

One of the key usage patterns of an immutable distro is using a container to install your extra packages. So you could go for a Fedora-based immutable KDE distro like Kinoite, and set up a Debian container where you can use apt and other Debian tools.

That patch looks promising. But I wouldn't recommend PBKDF2, I mean if you're going to go thru the trouble of converting to LUKS2 for stronger encryption, might as well go for Argon2.

Apparently there's still some limitations, according to the Arch Wiki:

  • Initial LUKS2 support was added to GRUB 2.06, but with several limitations that are only partially addressed in GRUB 2.12rc1. See GRUB bug #55093.

  • Since GRUB 2.12rc1, grub-install can create a core image to unlock LUKS2. However, it only supports PBKDF2, not Argon2.

  • Argon2id (cryptsetup default) and Argon2i PBKDFs are not supported (GRUB bug #59409), only PBKDF2 is.

If you're a beginner then don't worry about the encryption. Unless you're hiding from some three-letter agency or being targeted by hackers or something, LUKS1 encryption is more than good enough (for an average home user).

But just so you're aware, whilst it's trivial to convert to LUKS2 using cryptsetup convert, you'll need to first switch your bootloader to systemd-boot from GRUB, and that may not be a trivial process as there're multiple variables involved - is your ESP big enough, have you mounted your ESP to /boot, whether you're using secure boot or not, whether you're dual-booting or not etc. Plus you'll also need to manually create a bootloader config file that's specific to your system, and maybe even add a line to load a CPU microcode file if you're on Intel... there's a lot of things to consider here.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend EndeavorOS to you as a newbie, because it's basically Arch, but by making the installation easy, you're skipping all the knowledge you'd get of your system and how it works. And when it comes to situations like you're in, you reach a roadblock because you took the easy path.

If you're really interested in Arch then I'd recommend wiping your system and install Arch manually, the Arch way.

Here's the Linux version of this:
