This wouldn't be the first time either. We've had more success with android and sensor readings than with apple. The Diabetic team at our local hospital have sent out 2 warnings that Libre could stop working with Apple when there has been a major update.

We've since moved to a pump which uses a 'phone' and this is android and it's been absolutely life changing for my daughter.

You can bet your ass they would.

Before my daughter was given the libre sensor she would just finger prick at regular intervals to see where her numbers were, there were no warnings or notifications if she was outside her ranges. We've been lucky that when she has a hypo she knows about it due to feeling 'shaky' but if she was hyper she wouldn't know unless she did a finger prick.

The Diabetic team we have moved us away from Libre to a Dexcom G6 which has been great but as another poster has said does throw warnings out every now & again about Battery optimisation & Do not disturb settings.

Just over a month ago my daughter was given a pump made by Insulet and with that you are given an Android phone, that is used purely for controlling the pump and getting readings about her current numbers, it's very locked down. Since she's been using the pump her numbers have been absolutely fantastic, she's very rarely outside of her ranges, not only does her new device beep to alert her that something needs attention but so does the actual pump.

Jesus, no hope for me at 52 then

When you get to my age you live life on the edge.

Alot of people with mental health issues would be wandering the streets. Some would simply die at home due to not being able to look after and feed themselves. A fair few would be going around sexually assaulting young girls/boys (not understanding they're adults & it's wrong) and alot would be so pissed off and confused they be trying to kick the shit out of anyone they'd see. The world wouldn't end but it'd be a pain in the arse to navigate.

That sounds perfect, thank you so much for your replies & time. I'm gonna give it a go next weekend.

Count me in!

I don't think AI could do my job effectively and tbh I don't think people would want it too.

I had the same issue, managed to get my 78 year old mother to swap then they removed text, so now no one in the family will swap.

That's the thing that has me worried, deleting partitions. A long time ago (15 years or so) I deleted a partition in windows and it really messed everything up, that's what has made me question whether it is a simple case of just running the Bazzite installer and it holding my hand all the way.

I'm planning on doing it next weekend as this weekend just became busy. No doubt I'll be back here asking more questions.

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far it's been very helpful.

Thanos style?

Take that job in Nigeria do a few years and you should be set. Don't overthink it.

Good to know. I use flatpak in Nobara atm too. My main concern with being totally new to this would be not being able to install Bazzite over Nobara. It's a steep learning curve for me but I do enjoy things like that.

I'm not concerned with keeping any data as the things I need are on separate a HD & SSD's. I just wondered if I might not be able to do a clean install of Bazzite over Nobara, I am really new to all this but learning from you guys & as I go.

Aww bless, you think that'll have any impact
