Yeah but it’s a hardware keyboard, not a screen-keyboard. I am not saying that means it won’t work - I definitely don’t know - but it’s conspicuous they focused on it briefly. SHRUG lol I’m sure there will be a hack for it if it doesn’t already behave how people want.

Yup. Definitely an awful design choice.

I wish they could be like overclocked to make the most of one if you’re stuck with a mediatek chip device. I got a new Galaxy Tab A7 Lite several months back and yeah it was very cheap but its SOOO sluggish! Lag lag lag for almost every single thing! I’m considering selling it off unless I can manage to find a GSI build because all of the few ROMs that were posted for it are not online anymore. If I can manage to find anything it could be made to perform quite well, but as it is with Samsung’s awful One-UI it can literally sometimes not handle entering the settings app!

And you have to hold down the shift or Fn while hitting the desired key. Like a freaking desktop keyboard. No sticky. Wtf is up with that?

I rarely get anything from the play store. Usually f-droid or one of the other apps like Droidify or Izzy, and Aurora. Once in a while an app demands to verify with the Play store for the life of me I have no idea why… Plexus has helped with that sometimes, but sometimes doesn’t work.

That’s what custom ROMs are for.

Aaahhhhhhhh the aroma of 1995.

Yeah there’s no need to change if you’re content with what you’re using.

Not even close to approaching mainstream!

people who just want their computer to work with minimal hassle.

Elementary OS. Hassle-free, elegant and polished, distraction-free.

I never recommend Mint! It’s like it became this de facto distro to steer newbies toward just because it sort of kind of looks like Windows? Elementary OS is simple, polished, elegant and in a good way less customizable so the user can just get to work.

Alternatively if they want something more familiar like the start menu there’s KDE on Ubuntu or OpenSUSE, among others.

Mint was impressive like fifteen years ago; it’s still fine, but nothing in particular makes it more appealing than some of the ones I mentioned which have significant advantages.

Yeah I’m seriously sensing there’s a massive bit of info we haven’t been given. I can’t even conjure up a way that a distro would “break” a monitor lol.

Yeah that’s not a distro’s fault that’s something wrong. I run several machines with a variety of distros and nothing crashes ever, unless I’m testing partially working software.

Why does an article about the power rangers have a thumbnail of Voltron?

If you want an in-between I have been extremely happy with ShotCut so far.

Probably is!

I finally gave up entirely on OpenShot once I discovered ShotCut. OpenShot couldn’t handle the simplest things sometimes and literally could not get some things right ever. ShotCut is extraordinarily better. I’m absolutely thrilled with it in comparison.

As an aside I think I’ve seen Windows 11 being extremely intolerant of allowing another OS to setup the dual boot. I think someone responded to an inquiry about it that - sarcastically - Microsoft was jealous other OSes are being used more so they fuck with anything and need to be the install that establishes the boot loader. Not sure how much of that to take seriously but let’s face it, they’re dying and not going without a hissy fit.

Yay. Maybe now can they focus on some of the things more than nine people in the world care about?
