do not get a pinephone as a daily driver. battery life is like an hour, and its incredibly underpowered (i say that as a fairphone 5 daily driver). i cant speak for any other linux phones as i havent used them, but i plan to make a conserted effort to switch when fdroid stops working

First they came for the Porn Games
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Gooner

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

normally id say “linux is free, there’s no harm in giving it a go”, but between your lack of free time, nvidia graphics card, dependence on proprietary software, and previous experience (and slight distain) for linux i’d say just go with win 11.

there may be a way to get your music software to work in linux, but youll likely need to mess around with wine configs and it may never actualoy work right.

if you are interested ever, fire up a vm and play around with linux to get comfortable with it. maybe when win11 reaches eol (or even before) you’ll want to make the switch.

none of this is said to scare you away from linux. searching for drivers is rarely a thing in linux. there are built in tools in most distros to deal with graphics drivers, but apart from that, given the open source nature of linux, everything else is just handled by kernel modules and are basically seamless unless you have some weird proprietary hardware. linux is fairly easy to use these days, but there is quite a bit of a learning curve because it is a fundamentally different os than windows, and the way you solve problems is very different.

you did nothing wrong. ubuntu is a perfectly fine distro for beginners. the reason i dont use ubuntu anymore is the age of the packages started to bother me. also its kinda annoying that releases hit eol at some point. i like arch for the rolling release (no eol) and the fresher packages.

if ubuntu worka for you, keep using it. there is no correct distro.

what is a front sata port?! 😍

probably a troll…

has to be a modified bersion of the mtg mana circles on the back of the card. same shading and everything

about 10 years ago, i noticed steam was available for linux. for the longest time i had pretty much written off gaming on linux (apart from like tuxcart, nethack, emulators…). i hadn’t considered actually being able to play “real” games.

that was before proton, so there really wasn’t a ton of stuff i could play, but i found some good stuff like hotline miami, papers please, super win the game.

obviously now we have proton and linux can be argued as a superior gaming platform in many cases.

i may be wrong, but arent you paying for support, not features?

yeah i have this on emulationstation

in order (2000-present): red hat, slackware, debian, ubuntu, arch, manjaro, nix

have your husband remove the feature. explain all the downsides like how it affects your work and social life to not be able to add contacts.

if he refuses, as the rest of the comments point out, you may be in an abusive relationship. a marriage is built on trust. would he accept you locking down his phone the same way?

otherwise, maybe go pick up a burner phone from walmart or something.

thank you for the clarification

what is the difference between the two?
