I wasn’t talking about Arch based. I was talking about Cachy specifically. It’s even more unstable. Good Arch based distros can be decent if you don’t mind occasional troubleshooting. Also Arch is more stable than Windows.

I tried it on a tablet with 1 Gb of RAM. Most likely your device has a ROM issue.

Sure but Flatpak is the package format for new users and it’s a very bad decision for a beginner focused distro to restrict it.

Still it’s ridiculous they only allow submissions via a gitlab account.

It’s not as ridiculous as accepting translations only on GitHub/GitLab imo.

Oh then create an account there I guess.

I guess it’s time to create a GitLab account.

No it’s just a license breakage. It happens sometimes.

My Android keyboard is probably lacking the proper dictionary

I think using the dictionary is cheating here.

and is probably less reactive than the native app installed by default

That’s weird. When I install keyboards I don’t notice slowdowns but rather improvements due to the mainstream solutions being extremely bloated.

Even a typing test on a keyboard is odd. My grandma surely gonna fail this test and not because she’s old, but because she doesn’t know where the different keys/letters are placed on the keyboard.

But that’s what the test is about. It’s not about how fast you can press keys. It’s about using your key position knowledge.

Well technically Mint has one terrible default nowadays that is hidden unverified Flatpaks.

the best way to help a non-enthusiast use Linux, is to maintain their system for them, so they don’t have to.

Uhh that’s a very unpopular approach. Nobody wants to do that.

Nix? Nah better stay away from that one.

Another thing that’s needed is icon labels or alternative text. Apps like LibreOffice suffer from icon-heavy UI which is hard to understand and remember for new users and even for me without any explanations.

No. Old UI is terrible. The newest UI with extremely rounded corners is bad too but I’d much rather use it than old stuff.

As I understood, it’s kind of an isolated fork of the internet (not the protocols but more surface-level stuff) with some changes. Considering how bloated and bad internet is nowadays, I guess it serves the purpose of being a niche alternative. I can’t really understand the actual features and differences of it though so someone else will have to take a look into that.

It looks like it’s based on Epiphany?

It’s not very stable though. It failed majorly in my case.

Minding wallpapers if they’re not questionable or illegally obtained sounds like a symptom of a disorder to me. That’s my answer.

Removed by mod

I agree with this. However the very latest Pixels (with the stock ROM) might be a bit more invasive than the phones by an OEM like Motorola or Nokia.

Not really. A smartphone with a privacy-respecting OS and E2EE communication apps only is more secure. Though you can argue that it’s not really a phone if you don’t use the soter service.
