We need the same that runs Linux. I want to connect a Bluetooth keyboard, open my favourite Kitty terminal and ssh to my work server anywhere I go.

You can do that with Android foldables using Termux

The hardware is probably stellar and it must be an incredible reading device, but it's 2026 and I refuse to buy a device with a proprietary locked down software ecosystem.

I sympathize but you're literally looking at something an hour old and demanding that the economic and political realities that produced it change entirely.

I too have nothing to contribute to this post.

Explore Pixel Grapheneos Lineageos or Fairphone Unlocked boot loader in pixel to load third party operating system. PinePhone for Linux Ubuntu touch

I agree with the sentiment and hopefully am using my last phone like that right now, but I’m also really hoping for very big advances for Linux phones before it comes time to upgrade. Right now they all seem to have serious drawbacks

Exactly my feelings. I want something with custom ROM.

Considering only two major mobile platforms exist and both are proprietary locked down software ecosystems, I assume you have a PinePhone or something?

The pixel bootloader can be unlocked, also Android is significantly more of an open platform than iOS. I mean, stuff like Morphe exists on Android.

Very brave take about Apple /s

Could you share a link to source code/repo? I couldn't find it


I'm running my homelab on NixOS with systemd containers, which I admit isn't for everyone. Still, I think it's a better base than Ubuntu.

This is brilliant. How do we reconcile it with democracy though?

Education, healthy media environment, healthy culture of understanding and respect. Exactly everything the conservatives have been pushing against since decades

I'm using a similar setup with soularr, and I just need to import my playlists from Spotify, but I'd rather not use a fork of lidarr.

Hi, Actually it's not a fork it's the docker image for the plugin branch.

Sorry I set this up quite a long while ago and didn't remember correctly.

And it seems to have been merged so the plugin branch is not needed anymore, see: https://github.com/Lidarr/Lidarr/pull/1829

So the official image would work.

edit:

I just migrated and I can confirm it works.

I used lscr.io/linuxserver/lidarr:nightly, note that the `latest` tag won't work as it's using the `master` branch which doesn't have plugin support yet, so either use the `nightly` tag or the `develop` tag.

See: https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-lidarr/#version-ta...


I've also canceled my Spotify sub three weeks ago and migrated to Navidrome. I'm still not quite satisfied with the available clients, I'm using Feishin. Fastpotift looks like a nice candidate to extend to support Navidrome.

> wayland is not cross platform nor stable.

I've been using Wayland for two and a half years and it's been more stable than X11 that I've been using prior for years.


And I could say the opposite. Anecdata, it isn’t really helpful.

Fact is still that wayland does some things better, and a bunch og other things worse.


Matter of fact, the vast majority has moved on to Wayland years ago, both KDE and Gnome have reported their usage stats and neither sees a point in keeping X11 afloat. I too have been using Wayland (KDE) for years, it addressed some decades-long struggles around multi monitor and DPI layouts. I use input methods for CJK that work better and more consistently than before. As far as I'm concerned, this ship has sailed, for the better.

No, X11 got stable once they abandoned it!

Better money spent than on Omarchy.


KDE Plasma is as good as it gets if you'd like to transition from MacOS:

I run KDE on a secondary machine and it's the best it's ever been, but for me it's best for single-purpose machines where desktop differences basically don't matter. It's about on par with one of the better Windows releases (XP or 7 maybe) in terms of how frustrating I'd find it to do work under.
