Ah, thanks for the info - I wasn’t aware of that.

Yes it is: https://github.com/MarmadileManteater/FreeTubeAndroid

Works well, and you can sync history, playlists etc with SyncThing.

What do you mean by “just a webview”? As far as I know, FreeTube does not exist as a web client that can then just be displayed in an in-app browser.

FreeTube is on Android too.

Real question: Is it not possible to install KDE, even though they do not provide an ISO with it?

I’ve mostly been very satisfied with my InfinityBook 14 Gen7 that I got about 1.5 years ago. There have been some hardware issues (something wrong with the audio subboard that causes the sound from the speakers to go out once in a while, but they sent a new one that I haven’t installed yet…). The mic is also not very good (some background noise), and the speakers when they work (which is most of the time) are also quite weak. I decided to spec it out as much as possible, and it does get hot under high loads, like gaming. The case is sleek, but perhaps a little flimsy?

But mostly it works perfectly fine, and it is such a great upgrade over my old MacBook that I finally get to do stuff on my computer now, and run into very few limitations (running newer games and other GPU-intensive tasks requiring more than 4 GB VRAM are the only things). Not to mention that I’ve had very good experience with their customer service when I n00b out and can’t troubleshoot my way back.

An alternative is to keep your eggs somewhat separated so that you don’t end up in a locked in situation if their services deteriorate over the years, giving you an easier escape in that scenario.

FreeTube Cordova it is called

What I really mean is: can I keep a backup of the game that I can play later without having to use their launcher?

I recently deleted my Meta-account, and I hope they will be a thing of the past in the not too distant future. Zuck can get fucked.

Brilliant list! Starred this to go through it in detail later.

EDIT: A good deal of overlap with me on the type of applications I already use, so looking forward to discovering other hidden gems I haven’t yet found.

Nice! Just switched to Wayland, and planning on playing around with Godot again this Summer :)

I got a laptop from Tuxedo 1.5 years ago when I made the switch to Linux. I have been happy with it, despite some minor issues. In my experience, they have provided great technical support when something goes wrong as well that I am unable to troubleshoot myself. I am running Tuxedo OS, and have not tried to use any other distros on this machine yet (but have done so on other).

More so I am very happy with the switch to Linux (coming from about a decade on macOS, with Windows before that).

Can you download the installers for these games?

I’ve deleted my DE a couple of times from not reading the “The following packages will be REMOVED”-list.

What flaws are you referring to? I’m perfectly happy with my FP4. Just wondering what flaws I should be annoyed about.

Hm, yeah, I am connected on 5 GHz on all my devices and it is working fine. My main VLAN runs a combination of 2.4+5 GHz.

I have some light bulbs that use Zigbee which would be the only other things running on 2.4 GHz in my home. Could it be a source of congestion, and if so, why did this not happen with the previous computer?

I checked out WiFi Analyzer. What exactly would I be looking for here?

Are there any types you could recommend? I managed to dig up one among some older stuff (my guess is that it is maybe 5-7 years old), but it performed significantly worse. It is a small dongle (like a USB Receiver) and I am sure it was quite cheap.

It’s a Minisforum UM690S. Currently I’ve turned off WiFi, and there are no other devices nearby with Bluetooth turned on. I have a laptop and phone nearby that are on WiFi.

I just tried to have a gaming session a bit closer to where I would typically sit. It would sometimes work flawlessly for a long time, but then it would enter a period of lag and missed button presses. I can’t think of whether there would’ve been anything that started interfering at the times it started lagging. The keyboard can be pretty unresponsive very close to the computer as well. This keyboard has worked perfectly with another mini-PC at my desired distance that this computer meant to replace.

I’d like to keep it neat without anything sticking out and being visible from the cupboard. None of these devices had any issue with my previous computer that was placed in the exact same manner, so I imagine it must be possible to get it working here. But could it be that the network card is simply trash and can’t output any stronger? In that case the same kind of USB BT adapter could simply be placed in the cupboard. I think that would be an acceptable backup solution if I can’t resolve it with existing hardware.

EDIT: I should add, keeping the door open does not improve anything. The cupboard is wooden.
