Daily driving a Linux phone, but why?

I run Arch Linux, btw. No really, I do. Curious why? You do? Creepy! But go on, read why. I dare you!
Minor upgrade to cooling system on the EPYC workstation. Bye bye Noctua .. Dynatron resumes dominance. Gotta get ready for the office, so no time for alt-text but if you want that please let me know and I'll add it later today.

Eine entgoogeltes Mobiltelefon mit dem @murena OS auf einer coolen @Fairphone Hardware ohne Tracking und Werbung würde mich als kleiner Selbstversuch ja schon sehr reizen... aber keine Ahnung, ob es zum #dailydriver reicht.
@ploum instead of @signalapp which also falls under #CloudAct and is also a #Proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solution, consider #XMPP+#OMEMO for real #E2EE with #SelfCustody of all the keys!
Fir #eMail & #Chat, I can recommend @monocles as a paid provider who doesn't run #ads and doesn't fall under Cloud Act or similar laws. (Also they have excellent #Apps that work with basically all providers usibg standard-compliant servers & APIs!)
You may want to consider #Torifying everything by using @guardianproject #Orbot and push everything on #mobile through @torproject / #Tor.
In fact, some providers like cock.li even have #OnionServices to directly connect to them.
#MicrosoftOutlook literally steals your Login #credentials, so using @thunderbird is a necessity anyway. Don't forget to change your logins either way!
#Firefox is okay, but #TorBrowser should be normalized as well.
Consider launching a @cryptoparty to teach other the same.
Nirmalize using @tails_live / @tails / #Tails as your #DailyDriver!
After installing #OpenBSD on my #FrameworkLaptop everything on #xfce was so small because of the HiDPI screen. After changing some settings it is not perfect, but much better.
I can recommend this article: https://discovery.endeavouros.com/desktop-environments/xfce-hi-dpi-screens/2021/06/
Next step on my OpenBSD desktop journey is to fix the problem with the trackpad: the pointer freezes from time to time.
Is this the dawn of a new era?
A day of testing FreeBSD as a potential daily driver.
Spoiler alert: I don't think I'm confident about a complete switch. Those who know me know I'm slow as hell, and it'll take time. But running a day under FreeBSD proves that it's possible for my workloads. And the first step has been done.
Just successfully made my first phone call from #linuxmobile
This must have been how Marconi felt.
#update to my current #dogfooding attempts with #postmarketos. the #oneplus6 has been promoted to #dailydriver and the #iphone has been retired and only serves as emergency backup without a sim card. Here are the highlights:
- watch youtube, peertube, twitch, plex
- play minetest
- take and place calls
- listen to podcasts
- check bank account

@dhry: I occasionally switch my RamaWorks U80-A #dailydriver for a new #mechanicalkeyboard in my collection, often a staggered 40%ish w/QMK, like recently: https://chaos.social/@xtaran/112040709394859161
Switching to my #beamspring TKL actually already happened multiple times.
I also have different daily driver keebs @home (TKL+trackball, clicky) and @work (60% w/thumbstick, silenced tactile). And I do have a 40% keeb (TVK MiniVan) always with me in my daypack. But I only use it if I have to type a lot on the laptop.
A few thoughts on Debian 12 as a Daily Driver and a shell script to install the stuff needed.
Also a #minimalist #TUI / #CLI-based #Linux #Desktop does radical #KISS principle...

Not that I think OS/1337 is for everyone and In fact people should rather use @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS on #Desktop and #Server as #DailyDriver - which I do.
But #Toybox really makes things easy and it just works!
Which #linux #distro/ #distros do you use daily?
Please boost for more attention.
#linuxdistro #linuxdistribution #linuxdistros #dailydriver #dailydesktop #poll #polls
More Birdnet things - some people asked about the dashboard on mobile and I realized I had been sharing only desktop views. I actually made the dashboard with mobile in mind as that’s where I use #homeassistant most as a #dailydriver or quick glances.
If you couldn’t tell… we have a ton of #bluejays in our neck of the woods.
Is there anyone here who uses elementaryOS as a daily driver? Fancy an exchange?
When I distrohop I'm often confused what should I do after the installation is complete and what order should I follow so I wrote a list of post installation steps. (I plan to distrohop to Debian so I'll need this list soon)
Do you have a similar post-install todo list? What's on your list?
Fixin to reimage my laptop away from the #enshittification that #Windows11 has wrought. I'm not a programmer and don't have any special software/needs.
What's everyone #Dailydriver for #Linux #Desktop now days?
(Edit: I daily drove Mint for 5 years an all my home servers are debian, so not a "new" *nix user. Thanks for the contributions, please keep them coming! )
