Good choice with Mint, I think its the best distro for people transitioning from Windows.

Yeah that’s the one I was thinking about, thanks!

A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

Back in the day there was a phone called motorola atrix 4g, they made a lapdock for it that let you do this. There was also 3d party company that made lapdocks for modern Samsung phones that support Dex, but I’m not sure if they’re still aournd.

I’ve been using Moshidon, it’s based on the official app so it has the same UI, but it has a lot of extra features (following hashtags, viewing federated timeline, viewing timelines from other instances are the main ones I use that were missing from the official app).

Try experimenting with turning off the ramp. I always felt like I was struggling to breathe until I turned off the ramp on mine, it was so much easier to breathe with it turned off.

RIP Sync for reddit 😢 I hope Sync for Lemmy will be even better!!

I’ve been using the PWA on my tablet and I switch between the PWA and jerboa on my phone. The PWA seems more stable but the upvote and collapse comment buttons are a little too small for my taste.

Custom tabs allow Android apps to open websites in the app itself. If you disable it, when you tap on a link the page will open with your default browser instead of inside the app.

I think not having a headphone jack goes against their whole sustainability and repairability values. Wireless earbuds are just about the least repairable or sustainable electronics available, you’d think they would want to encourage the use of wired earbuds.

Not a fan of all of these fake features being added to modern cars. Fake air vents, fake tailpipes, fake engine noise being piped into the cabin, fake transmission shifts, it all seems so pointless and a waste of engineering effort.

Enjoying it so far, thankfully I had already been using Mastodon for about 6 months so I’ve had time to get used to the quirks and discoverability issues that come with the Fediverse. I hope the learning curve doesn’t turn off less tech savvy users.

Just subscribed, looking forward to seeing everyone’s projects
