Are you sure it benefits him to say that? I think its not even a left vs right issue to recognize this is an issue. At least it sparks discussion and makes people criticize him.

Don’t you think it has some privacy concerns? And how does it affect small businesses relying on cash? I’m asking genuinely, these are intuitive and not well thought out concerns.

I think it still supports Google. If someone wants a Pixel and one less is available second hand, thats one more person buying it in store. Probably not 1:1 relationship there, but still.

Hmm, in mean time I prefer buying Fairphone over supporting Google.

I see, and it can’t be installed on Fairphone?

So if I were to choose graphene over eOS it would mainly be to be more protected from malware?

Thanks for sharing. For someone who is not so well versed in these technicalities, what does that mean for the user? That you’re more susceptible to fraud and hacking and malware?

Don’t encourage them. Making a profit would mean ads on ChatGPT.

Just would be nice to avoid the pain of spending weeks setting everything up only to find out later that someone essential for me doesn’t work. I guess just part of the process

I think I can live with that

Thank you for saying this. I wonder which vendor is best value for money.

That is one of the things I learned. It’s hard to know what I need without knowing what I could need. Sometimes you don’t know what you use until it’s missing.

Thanks for sharing!

I’ve gotten a lot of useful advice! I wasn’t looking for a write up, but an existing guide out there. I’m happy with everything people have written.

I was also suggested purityc, framework, and system76, what is especially good about starlabs?

This is really useful. I don’t use Apple Music, but the gestures and preview do sound like something to get used to. Why is there no third party preview? Seems like a pretty basic program to have.

Ok so what I understand is that the disto has more to do with compatibilities, optimization and updates whole desktop environment is more the UX and user experience?
