I gave an effort to DDG for months and I really wanted to like that but it hasn't been that good for me. Image search especially is really subpar, but also in general searches a lot of times I had to resort to using !g after messing around trying to actually find what I wanted.
I don't like Google but I have to admit that their principle product is above the competition right now. I hope it'll change but honestly, with adblock if Google search is the only service I'm using from them and it's working out I'm kinda okay with that.
If they start plastering their results with even more ads tho, I'll definetly jump ship in a heartbeat.
Ah, that's interesting. I haven't had that problem yet on other distros but now I'll keep my eye out for it. Pretty annoying if that's case tho :/
Yeah, that's really unfortunate to hear. Gladly I didn't had any build quality issues so I didn't even mentioned that side but you are right in that it's also a pretty important point. Back in the day micro-USB connectors wearing out was a big thing that apple products didn't suffered from but that's been solved with type-c. Other than that I've been pretty lucky with my phones not falling apart on me.
It's a difficult problem but not principly impossible. One potentially good thing about Meta being involved is that if the user base is there, I'm pretty sure Google with their resources and other big tech backing will find a way and incorporate it into their engine.
I kinda like Helix, I just don't really know what's the point of it. Some of the Kakoune bindings are marginally better than the vim default but any efficency I might get with it I instantly lose when trying to re-learn things or getting confused when I hop on a vim terminal on an other machine.
Kind of the same with the editor, it's like a 'batteries included vim' but I can just get that with a really light vim config and not mess up my workflow.
I guess it's might be cool if you are getting into it as your first modal editor but even then, if you want to use other stuff or need to use some different tools getting a vim extension will probably be easier than getting a Kakoune one.
I love Fedora but since they are no longer shipping the most popular media codecs on install I can't recommend them for beginners. I myself was a bit blindsided by this when wanted to start watching a movie with family and had to scramble to download the codecs 😅
I think it's just ESL.
I feel quite the contrary, I messed around with Arch and Gentoo for a while but wanted some stability and picked up Kubuntu then Fedora GNOME. Kubuntu was mostly fine, but I have to agree the latest versions of KDE doesn't feel very good to use but Fedora GNOME has been a blast. Mind you I haven't used GNOME since 40~41 but now with all the new features it just werks. My only issue with Fedora is the lack of codecs included by default but other than that I had a great time with it, no problems whatsoever.
Samsung A50, the cheapest smart phone I could find 5 years ago and it's still going strong. I really don't get the flagship phone craze. I, as I think most people, only use my phone to browse the web, check emails, sometimes watch a youtube video and well, phone people. This little guy has been perfect for that and has no sign of getting slower. The battery still easily gets me through a day with music listening (love the jack btw), web browsing and even some light GPS use.
Not gonna lie, I sometimes miss having a good camera with me, but after buying a half decent DSLR I'm still at or a bit below what a flagship costs nowadays.
When this phone dies a couple years from now I'll probably just get the new cheapest phone in Samsung's lineup lol.
That's not really fair. GNOME has been working on LibAdwaita and GTK4 for quite some while to actually have stable and usable tools to make the missing functionalities happen. And they been adding these in a really good rate in the last 2 releases. Until now we really just didn't had the tools to implement a lot of stuff.
If you look across to KDE land, and not to bash on them I love KDE, they've been much quicker to introduce features but then also spent many releases fixing bugs and sometimes completely re-implementing those features to work properly.
