    I appreciate the freedom feeling, bought a Pocophone F1 a couple years ago just to flash it with custom roms.

    Have you tried Lineage? How would you compare the experience of using them if so? Some of the custom roms I’ve tried had some things I missed UX/functionality wise but as people seem quite happy with Graphene I assume it is nice to use.

    Great minds think alike! (Or the availability of compact phones with more than 2 years of software updates is unfortunately small)

    Ah cool, waiting for the pixel 8a might be an interesting option as well assuming they release it within a couple of months









    • Nobara for my gaming rig, same as OP + lots of out of the box gaming fixes.

    • Tumbleweed for the laptop, rolling release while (in my experience) being a bit less likely to break than arch.

    • Ubuntu/Debian/MicroOS/Alma for servers depending on whether I want stability + some fresher software, mountain-like stability, automatically updating container hosts or if I need redhat compatibility.

    • Mint if its someone elses old computer they want to “just work”, since I dislike being tech support more than necessary.
