I've found #Alpine as the best lightweight distro. #Gnome on it takes just 1GB almost same as #KDE, a little more than #XFCE.

Depends how you're using it though

Ruling your own country is an even worse experience. Would be so easy to let the colonisers back in and let them take charge. We could then have 99% uptime with a good currency and easier travel between the colonies... Is (political and tech) #independence overrated?

Worst case I'd recommend mirroring the repo to Github and not having Microsoft as the only option.

You can consider #Codeberg. Monetise your project in some way if possible. Contribute some of the revenue back to them.

Some people just don't give them their mobile phone number. Landline or email only.

Most review videos are out of date by now. The #Librem5 early backers got is not what people buying now are getting, neither in hardware or software. After #PureOS Crimson comes out, it will be even better hopefully.

It's Linux that means you're not restricted. You can switch OSes and desktop environments. PureOS, Mobian, postmarketOS. Phosh, Gnome, KDE, SXMO. I'm guessing at least one of them supports tiling. Gnome on desktop does through an extension I use called tilix I think.

Depends how much you're willing to sacrifice and what your primary use of the device is.

If you're OK giving money to #Google and want (mostly) everything to work, then a Pixel with a degoogled OS like GrapheneOS, DivestOS, CalyxOS on the security express release channel.

If, on the other hand, you want to fund long term solutions, are willing to tinker and do not want to pump more money into Google, #Linux mobile is the way to go: #LibertyPhone from #Purism running PureOS, #Mobian or #postmarketOS or #FLX1 from #Furilabs running FuriOS (Droidian).

Unfortunately there appears to be no good one for Linux ARM

"Apple Inc. does not allow #iPhone purchasers to use the device as they wish, but as #Apple Inc. intends. Dear and fundamental as our cellphone has become to each of use, almost like an extension of our personhood, we don't so much own our phone as lease it under inflexible company made restrictions. Avis is not going to let somebody rebuild a core engine during the term of the rental, right? Well, Apple doesn't want its customers so much as looking under the hood, let alone tinkering with anything."

One is open source. The other is proprietary. Enough said.

I (try to) use it. Can't see any way to create themimn the UI...

Are you saying it does have them?

..or else crowdfund on another platform like Launchgood

Salaam and welcome bro. If you control the server, it doesn't matter what the software can or cannot do as you can modify anything... so might as well leave out that requirement

Without threading, all of these apps offer a horrible experience especially if you check them once in a while : (

There's also KDE Plasma Bigscreen

I feel like immutable / atomic distros will be the future for normal users...

They apparently came out with ToS thar lets them own everything you create, etc but I haven't verified this myself just read in news.

Don't forget #OperationTriangulation. Many experts concluded that Apple designed the exploited functionality/backdoor.
