    I have a #pinephone that I haven't used much. I'll be putting #mobian on it and giving it a try again. I'm okay to have it as a secondary device, as I really do prefer using a laptop or PC for calls most of the time.

    I cannot relate.

    #AppleEvent #Apple products fall squarely in the "expensive junk" category for me.

    No marketing, peer pressure of publicity event could convince me to buy one of their products new. If a used one was given to me, there's a chance I may use it ( older Macs with #Linux Mint #Debian Edition are usable)

    I do not regularly use a mobile phone. I use a #Linux laptop or my desktop with phone dot com (thinking of switching to openphone.com) for almost all of my text and phone calls.

    While out and about, I use a mobile hotspot from US Cellular and only turn it on when I am using it.

    I do have a backup Android phone that I can connect to the hotspot if my laptop ever would fail or loose battery power. I keep it in airplane mode almost all the time. Mainly have it because one of my contracting jobs wants me to use Google Authenticator App, which can still be used while in airplane mode.

    I think this observation is just one more reason why it is reasonable to suspect that nuclear weapons exist in the way that they are told they are.

    Nukes as weapons have not been used, to my knowledge, since the US used them on Japan in WW2 and there's good reasons to suspect that may have been firebombing using other bombs instead of a nuke.

    If they were real, I think nations would be using them. We just haven't seen that, so I suspect that they aren't real and are just used to keep people in fear.

    Yesterday, I helped a customer of mine migrate from using #Google #Chrome to #firefox. Also, at her request, changed the default search engine from Google to #duckduckgo ( not perfect, I know, but less obnoxious than Google, in my opinion ).

    Her husband decided to replace his aging laptop with one of my refurbished #HP #ProBook laptops with #Linux ( Linux Mint Debian Edition ).

    Small steps in the right direction.

    I have. Not recently though. I should check in on how Gallium is doing. Last I checked, it was running into a time deadline with being based on an older Ubuntu LTS.

    Gallium is what I first used when experimenting with Linux on Chromebooks. I've had the best experience with Devuan and the Cinnamon desktop environment.

    Blog post and video I did about using a virtual environment (Proxmox) to compare Windows and Linux:

    https://retroedge.tech/post-2023-01-13-virtualized-compare.html

    This post ends the second week in a row of consistent writing. My goal is to publish five or six days a week.

    Good to know, as Devuan is now my first choice for my own desktops and servers.

    How long have you used XFCE?

    Besides the Chromebook keyboard screen brightness keys not working, I think it would have been a great fit on a corebootbook as it needs less processor and memory than Cinnamon. Those keys not working were a showstopper for me right now, though.

    Blog post for today

    XFCE Corebootbook, almost, but not quite

    https://retroedge.tech/post-2023-01-11-xfce-issue-corebootbook.html

    In which, I attempt to use XFCE on former Chromebook hardware and find a showstopping bug.

    Mentioned @chaslinux in the blog post, as he inspired me to give XFCE a try. I do plan on doing more with XFCE, but it didn't work out for this project.

    In our house, we currently use #Devuan, Debian (with Linux Mint Debian Edition), #Artix, and pfsense.

    I am considering using #proxmox, but haven't yet.

    ST is at the top of my list for a "simple terminal" for a minimal setup. I haven't used it much yet, though.

    Yeah, I'll use it when I am in the Cinnamon desktop environment, but not outside it. I'll be using something different when I build out my minimalistic setup with a tiling window manager.

    What terminal emulators do you regularly user?

    My blog post today is about the Tilix terminal emulator (the post was written in neovim with Tilix as the terminal).

    Tilix has tiles (and workspaces).
