Linux@lemmy.ml•I Installed Ubuntu Touch on My Phone in 2026 — Should You?English
12·4 days agoUbuntu Touch is still in the stages of “Wouldn’t this be nice?” Nevertheless, it would be nice to see it get some dedicated work.

Android@lemdro.id•This smartphone runs Android, Linux, and even Windows 11English
2·7 days agoEven if you don’t want it.
Honestly, I’d prefer to stay away from anything that’s been sullied by the need for Windows compatibility, compliance, Protectsia inclusion, etc. Fuck that. I think it’s a really bad idea and a turn off for more than not.

3·7 days agoWho goes out of their way to make such a monstrosity. The amount of compatibility efforts must have really distracted from making any one of them exceptional.
Of course, I could be completely wrong.
Also…: Windows??? Give it a dang rest! Windows on a mobile device was last a great idea around 2006.
Linux and Android would be pure chef’s kiss AFAIC.
Well I don’t think it’d paranoid but I have been meaning to run a scan with some apps I have just to see. But is Xiaomi one of the banned brands?I know Huawei, ZTE, and some others I’ve heard. Not sure about Xiaomi.
Anyway it’s a fairly good quality launcher. And it has one feature I love that Nova never implemented which is icon packs as in multiple. In order of preference.
Ahhhh okay. Cool.
Personally, I don’t see the appeal though. I am really happy to have left Windows in the trash.
Lawnchair is ok but I’ve been liking Poco. The thing is Nova is amazing at adapting icon packs to at least make stuff follow a motif. Nearly every other launcher just leaves icons looking out of place when there isn’t a themed one. I’m not talking about having an icon for all your apps within all your icon packs, but if the pack follows some shape or design, or maybe color affectation, Nova will generate for all others a complying effect. Hardly any other launchers will do this. I also use a widget called Launchy and the one thing it’s missing is it also won’t do this with some packs. Although some will. It’s weird.
But I’ve rambled. Yeah check out Poco AKA Global Launcher from Xiaomi I think.
I miss Win 3.11 using Dashboard. That app was the tits! Goodbye Program Manager always obstructing up the wallpaper.
Is there not already ReactOS? Or has that been abandoned?

Linux@lemmy.ml•I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should tooEnglish
1·12 days agoHah I literally did the exact same thing. When I bought my current laptop it came with Windows 11. When I powered it on while I was looking for my USB stick it started loading Windows, I restarted into the USB and installed my Linux distro. I mean, literally I have no use whatsoever for Windows even for a moment.
I wanted to go with raw Debian but at the time the audio device was very new on the market I think, or whatever the reason, I had to put Kubuntu which had all the necessary drivers to fully support all the hardware on the system. I’m very happy with it. It’s a kick ass laptop. Why would I want to infect a superb computer with Windows!

Android@lemdro.id•‘Android 17’ split Notifications & Quick Settings panels leak in full [Gallery]English
1·15 days agoWhen you feel that you can make money without innovating anymore, you just stop and collect your profits. Best thing about being open is that custom ROMs do some great shit for people who go that route.

Android@lemmy.world•Aves Libre gallery app does not respect .nomedia?English
2·18 days agoYes, I’m aware of the ability to manually hide a directory. Thank you anyway for making the suggestion. I do wish the app properly respected the .nomedia file. Ah well.
Meanwhile I have another crash Android dilemma going on as well. Most of the time Android is freaking amazing to me, and then there are times I wonder how something fundamental and basic has been overlooked.

Android@lemmy.world•Aves Libre gallery app does not respect .nomedia?English
1·18 days agoI don’t see any setting that would affect it. Is it possible I have to enable some setting? No matter how I configure it, it’s displaying images within folders that have a .nomedia file.
I’d like also to ask is there any difference between Aves Libre and the Aves Gallery app in the Play store & Aurora store?

17·24 days agoI’ve tried all the galleries and Aves Libre is the one I have consistently found superior to all others.



It’s a joke. Like religion. But even within the confines of religious beliefs, only some religions believe in Jesus, so the hundreds of other religions that are followed would ostensibly not approve of worship of Jesus.
But yeah, any such beliefs are fiction anyway.
