    $60 is the standard price for the highest tier unlimited data plans.
    Nevermind that with the ubiquity of WiFi, unlimited data isn’t really necessary for most people; Most people still just assume they need that.

      But seriously, who needs unlimited? I have 30GB, rarely ever use more than 5GB tops. With watching jellyfin.

      I may be a cheapskate, but 60 bucks for some unlimited data sounds bizzare. For tiktok-junkies maybe who spend 20h a day scrolling vids?

        I agree. I’m on Mint (edit: mobile service haha) getting like 2GB a month and never reach that because I barely use this cursed rectangle off WiFi. Lol

          Cachyos and opensuse here, but at least those are at home only so I don’t need mobile. The updates alone would probably fill some more gig otherwise. But still far from 30.

            Whoops, I meant mint the cell service, but OpenSUSE mentioned let’s GOOOO!!! :D

            Been hearing a ton about Cachy, gotta check it out! I’m trying to figure out a solid distro to put my less-techy gamers in the family on. It’s likely between Cachy or OpenSuse…slowroll or leap is the question. 🤔

              Oh lol, never heard of mint in that context 😁 For gaming there’s no question I’d say => cachy. They’re always up2date and everything works. On suse I had more probs, but I don’t game on that device so I chose it because German 😁

              Also pacman beats zyppr. By speed at least. It’s so fucking slow it drives me mad… And then you get paru on top. Guess I would choose cachy (or other arch-based) for nongaming too.

              But I’m linux-noob for desktop…

              For all my servers I use Debian mostly.

        There are some jobs where it’s important. But then it’s something the company will buy. Individuals almost never need it.
