Sorry, I thought you were saying it was a pain to setup and run anything else, I disagreed with that. It is performance limited because it is a NAS after all, but still completely functional. I’ve never installed anything on one that it couldn’t handle, but perhaps someone else has. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am new to GrapheneOS, and I love it. However, it doesn’t work with Google Pay, Wallet, or Moto Tag devices.

I also prefer the unbloated ROM and limiting what Google can do on my phone. However, this new captcha thing is worrying: https://www.digitaltrends.com/phones/the-makers-of-security-first-grapheneos-are-putting-google-and-apples-tactics-on-blast/

I disagree. Docker containers are pretty easy to set up on it, though I admit that the small memory sucks in terms of performance.

Probably an *arr stack, nextcloud, and tailscale.

What about the fact that Sailfish OS uses Alien Dalvik to emulate the apps in an LXC container? More

This is a company that is committing to never selling customer data and I appreciate that. But yeah, I think blocking Web browsers is maybe a little much. Plus I need Lemmy to get my bean fix 🫘.

They have created a shit phone, but they are proud of it. It’s essentially a less dumb version of a dumb phone.

It’s one where you don’t have to worry about someone emailing you after-hours, see your aunt bitching about her 7th husband, or get you distracted when you should be remodeling the house.

I may not agree with it… I would be more open to A full blown sailfish install, but I see the vision.

I’m sorry, did I miss something? The commodore phone doesn’t have social media applications.

Edit: Yes I did miss something. True it comes with Whatsapp running in an emulator in an LXC container. https://factually.co/fact-checks/electronics-tech/android-app-compatibility-on-sailfish-os-real-tests-a787aa

…So is sailfish… But ultimately I think the reason they went with it is that it is much more secure than an android phone as it ensure your privacy is respected. You can still run android applications, but you don’t have to worry about Google apps spying on your activity. Similar to Graphene OS where you can actually manage the permissions of Google apps rather than allowing it to have unfettered access to everything. Or heck, you don’t even need to install any Google application to be able to use either Graphene or Sailfish. To me, they are just better ecosystems. And heck, sailfish isn’t the only one. There is also postmarket os, Mobian, Manjaro ARM, Arch ARM, Ubuntu Touch, PureOS, and many more.

Okay, that looks like gnome-keyring.

I’m order for it to login automatically, it needs to be named login the same as your username(that is kwallet) and have the same password.

Then when you launch electron apps, it’s already unlocked and doesn’t need a password.

If you need a GUI, try seahorse.

Don’t know what distro you in, but you can get some intel here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring#PAM_step

Questionable alternative solution: remove the password from the wallet. I don’t run one, but I’ve got drive encryption and rarely if ever save passwords.

You might try CachyOS. Comes built in, still Arch based, and Cachy kernel is known for roughly a 10 fps improvement for gaming.

I recommend learning about Arch… Hear me out…

Arch is rolling release, I get it, it’s a little more unstable than what sounds very much like Debian. I solve this using btrfs and snapper. Makes it take a snapshots every hour automatically, and also takes a snapshot before and after package updates. I had to use it once, but that was an issue with QT updates which required me to rebuild some software(end-4 hyprland/quickshell). Which leads me into the next part.

The Arch user repository. Ultimately this is just a git instant for users sharing code. But there is also a command line till for it to make it even easier. That tool is yay. Yay will automatically handle all build dependencies and removing them if needed once the build is complete. I primarily use the AUR for building things in to last to do myself, like linux-cachyos. Such a tool would be quite beneficial to you on any distribution and while I’ve heard of it being used on something like Fedora, I haven’t heard of it on Debian.

Yeah, after reading your whole post, I don’t understand why you are so frustrated.

You mention finding a Linux compatible laptop, but it doesn’t seem hard. I didn’t even go the thinkpad route, I got an IdeaPad. And even afterwards, I swapped it for a OneXPlayer. On top of that I have two XPS’s running Arch. And that’s just laptops, I also built a gaming PC for it. And I have a docker host plus a dual socket hypervisor both running Linux.

I just don’t feel like it is particularly hard to find a Linux compatible laptop, sure I had to update a wireless card to use my Bluetooth 5.3 headset, but beyond that I simply haven’t had an issue. In terms of a convertible laptop, check out the company I linked the product I got may suit you, or if it is too small look at the Super. Even way it is literally an x86_64 tablet with a magnetic keyboard.

Edit: fair warning, the display is top right (1600x2560) and I had to rotate it via limine Linux kernel parameters and hyprland. Also, it doesn’t like cachyos for the same reason. Arch with linux-cachyos via chaotic aur? That works fine. No idea what breaks it, but I rather like omarchy anyways and didn’t wanna change back.

Hyprland is my new favorite. Never even thought I would like a tiling Windows manager before, but it is pretty sick. Quickshell is pretty cool too…
