    The old galaxies were really good. I remember s3 being the first experience with a flagship device… it felt really advanced for the time. It sucks that now samsung has implemented knox security or whatever to detect bootloader unlocked devices. That’s the reason why I switched to a Oneplus phone and gave my last samsung to my dad.

    I also remember touchwiz being an absolute lag fest, back in the day. Cyanogen was the OG savior !


  • If you want to install any apps go with Flatpaks for reliability. Since Ubuntu has snaps, install the snap variant of available. Imo Flatpaks have greatly reduced the number of issues like dependency problems for me.

    Have you tried any other distro ? I’d recommend any of the universal blue projects or fedora silverblue as it is relatively maintainance free and just like using windows/macos. If you game just go with Bazzite, otherwise try Aurora/Bluefin. In most cases you won’t even have to use the terminal that much, but if you do they have really nice cli tools too.

    If you still want to go the traditional approach - Arch based distros can also be very good, ateast you will be able to find answers on the archwiki and try those solutions. It’s not like Ubuntu is bad, it’s kind of janky sometimes and I kind of liked the conveince of finding all that I need within the archwiki. Arch has fast updates, so things will break once in a while… however my experience has been really good with arch for many years now. if you want to try it then go with either EmdavourOS or CachyOS - both are setup quite well out of the box.

    TL;DR - try Flatpaks, try low maintenance distros like Bazzite and use it like you normally do.







  • I agree with what you are saying. What I really meant is that every community should have some amount of people who think differently and see things from a different perspective. This can help widen the variety of posts, comments and even sources used for citations.

    For instance, here on lemmy I’ve noticed a tendency for people to see things from a political viewpoint and don’t hesitate to start a flame war in the comments. Maybe the average user will feel more welcome to express their opinions if they see that the existing users are open minded. Thankfully most communities I’m a part of are very nice, more so than their reddit counterparts.

    P.S: forgive me if there are any logical inconsistencies in my comment. I might be a little intoxicated.

    My friends who are less tech literate swear by brave. I think it’s the way they market their browser… Some of Brave’s core audience don’t want to install a third party extension for adblock (either they don’t like third party or they just don’t know they can do it in other browsers)

    Also on opening a new tab, they show the stats of how much data they saved and how much ads it blocked. Some people like seeing the number grow.

    All this is my speculation. There may be some other reason for it being this popular.




  • In my experience the only times I’ve had a stable experience was

    • when I actually only installed packages I needed i.e using a window manager instead of a DE (and no bloat packages which I’ll eventually lose track of)

    • using an atomic distro, my favourite so far has to be bluefin which is part of the Ublue project based on Fedora Silverblue. NixOS is also great but it gives me the urge to pointlessly tinker instead of getting actual stuff done.

    In the past I’ve seen flatpaks and containers as bloated and messy solutions which tainted my computer but now that I’ve tried it, It’s actually very convenient.

    I’ve always installed a crap ton of packages for gaming which turns into this inevitable mess, but with containers I just use bazzzite-arch and be done with it. It wraps all my gaming packages in one neat container.




  • So many good ones here. I’ve watched a few from the ones you mentioned. All of them I pretty much enjoyed a ton.

    1. Re Life
    2. Bunny girl senpai
    3. Sakura-sou no pet na Kanojo
    4. Boku no kokoro no yabai yatsu
    5. Kimi no nawa

    Re life, kmi no nawa and bunny girl senapi gave me depression for a short while back in the day. Boko no Kokoro no yabai yatsu was probably one of the better ones to come out in recent times.

    I also think I watched the first 2 episodes of Kaicho wa Maid Sama a long time ago… I almost forgot it existed.

    Hiscore girl, tsuki ga kirei and Spice & wolf are in my never ending watch list, thanks for reminding me again. As for gosik, it’s my first time hearing about it… Will check it out tho.

    Also please go ahead and comment the experimental ones you mentioned, I think I’ll find something interesting

    Also my apologies for not mentioning the ones I already watched in my post.
