Yes I have to switch to light mode everytime I go outside during the day because (unfortunately) my screen just isn't quite bright enough in direct sunlight but switching to light mode helps me see things a little better.
But normally I prefer to be in dark mode. It saves battery (I have an AMOLED display) and is easier on the eyes especially indoors/in dark environments/at night.
If my screen was brighter I'd leave dark mode on when outside in direct sunlight too.
I went with Nvidia and I never really had any issues on Linux with it (I only use Linux).
AMD might be better on Linux out of the box in the sense that you can just install whatever distro and it's going to work and with Nvidia some distros will require to install the drivers yourself or tinker one time in the terminal but it's really not that big of a deal
But go with whatever you think is best for you.
I have graphene OS on my pixel 8. RCS works flawlessly with the Google messages app. No issues..
I want to like futo but I think it just needs more time. I'm using Gboard without the Internet access turned on (I'm using graphene OS) so I'm not worried about Google knowing anything I type.
I mostly use the swipe to text feature and I just haven't found another keyboard that does it better than Gboard (unfortunately)
Long live the Bolivarian revolution 🫡
This only applies to people on the stock rom? Or?
I'm using graphene and not having any problems with my device.
How the hell can you be a chain smoker and run a marathon?!
Btw I'd still use mint...I only switched away because I wasn't a big fan of how much it looked like windows and how green everything was. Lol. But I was still a noob at the time and hadn't fully comprehended how customizable Linux distros are. I could've changed a lot with the appearance if I knew what I was doing
Honestly. I don't think you're missing much. It's not like if you go to a different distro suddenly you're going to have all these new applications you can't get on mint or anything.
I started with mint and played around with other distros (mostly Debian/Ubuntu & Arch based ones) and I ended up settling on an Ubuntu based distro with kde desktop.
Using something like Arch might make sense if your PC is super new as they tend to have support for the newest hardware.
At most you might want to try a different desktop environment but if you have no reason to hop I would say don't waste your time unless you're bored and want to experiment just for the hell of it.
there's a site that will let you play around with different distros/desktop environments over the Web (it's going to be slow and you can't use a VPN when connecting) but that might be a good choice before going through the trouble of downloading a distro, flashing to USB and possibly installing it on your PC/laptop just to find out you hate it.
The other ⅔ apparently have their head in the sand .
Can't we just put trump and Harris on one of bezos' penis rockets to space and try to get by without a president ? Maybe send Congress and the Senate with them so they don't get lonely.
