You are mostly right. Its tricky to get into Linux.

• Linux is not for running windows programs. Linux alternative of such programs suffice my need. although some can be installed using wine but its highly likely you will likely run into bug. Some apps such as adobe suite, office 365, etc won't work at all.
• Those distro recommendation websites are garbage, don't trust any of them. There are "basically" three main flavours
• Arch
• Debian/Ubuntu
• Redhat

Everything else is just based on them. Like pop os, Mint, Zorin are basically same under the hood. You can make any distro do whatever you want.

Yes, bloatware can be disabled easily with Universal Android Debloat

Add SponsorBlock and DeArrow in the list. You will not regret it.

Apart from boot time. I don't have any complaint against systemd.

• Aegis 2FA Authenticator

I have been rooting my phones since android 7. I like rooting my phone because

• it allows me to block ads without a VPN or a DNS (AdAway)
• I can install apps from fdroid like I am installing from google play store, I don't have to manually install an app.
• I use NeoBackup to backup apps with app data. *I use revanced (I know I can use the non-root version but why install an extra app (microg) that runs in background).
• I can disable tracking/telemetry of individual apps by disabling their activity component.

So, I would say rooting is a big deal for me and banking apps still works.

You should try chromite (an updated fork of bromite)

I used Whatsapp before it was bought by Facebook and it was not paid

Try KOREADER.

Great article.

I have Infinix Hot 30. Currently using lineage OS GSI. GSI will work as infinix and tecno are devices by the same company.

RYS is also similar to unhook but has more features

Artix (Basically Arch without Systemd)

Lineage os has an option for that. Maybe you can do something like that with root on stock.

Bloat free

I had this issue too. It can be fixed by using alternate way to detect headset and Bluetooth workarounds --> Mediatek in phh settings

I think aurora Store (3rd party foss playstore) can do that but official play store can't.

Systemd is the slowest init system that I have used

Bleeding Edge

I used dinit, runit, openrc, systemd and s6 Dinit was the fastest.

No Systemd. It uses real init

Linux from scratch and customizing it yourself? What’s the

Nobara uses optimized custom kernel for games

Yes

wallpaper link?

Thanks!

Get a second hand tablet and install a custom ROM on it

undefined> u will still have full access to source through their developer program or as a pa

Their developer plan is free

Tried everything in systemd-analyze and systemd-analyze blame. Still slow compared to dinit.

I just have a super crappy laptop with a hdd. So speed difference is quite noticeable. On systemd, boot times were greater than 2 min (done everything I could in systemd-analyze). So, I switched to Dinit which is new and quite barebones also a tad bit unstable (sometimes crashed for me). It allowed under 30 sec boot times. Then, I tested all init managers. Currently, on runit which is about 2-3sec slower than dinit but otherwise quite stable. I just choosed based on speed nothing else. I didn't notice much difference in functionality. All allowed me to do all the things I wanted just in a different way. Artix linux allows easy switching of init managers

the first options in settings, above network and internet

Try using lineage os trebledroid variant

Its not a problem anymore. Nvidia Drivers work fine now.

Its better to dual boot windows for windows programs. I am currently on Artix (Arch without systemd). I just like the OS to get out of my way when I am doing something and upgrade manually myself when i have free time.

Arch wiki is the most comprehensive Linux wiki. Try that.

Thanks Didn't know that.

I use Arch BTW, so no problem with outdated packages. ;)

They are making their own BRICS currency again the US Dollars. That's why they are buying gold.

Artix Linux
