Technology@lemmy.world•Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over featuresEnglish
13·26 days agoGrapheneOS was claiming 5-year support IIRC. Apple level support is infeasible. Not sure how affordable longer firmware support from Qualcomm is.

Technology@lemmy.world•Dark patterns killed my wife’s Windows 11 installation – OSnewsEnglish
112·26 days agoWith Windows you simply have much less problems to solve. Normal people don’t care about jumping through hoops to create local accounts, they’ll just register.
Windows interfaces are designed for easy learning and are backed by real telemetry data from millions of systems, such as ribbon menus. On Linux power users run the show so even blatant violations of basic principles tend to stick since the development version is the shipped version and is what they are used to so UI stability took priority even though it shouldn’t been stabilised in the first place.
Everything from the real world found its way in.
OpenWrt usually supports a device until it’s infeasible or has no maintainers I believe. Beware of small flash!
Personally I recommend getting either a MediaTek Filogic device or one of those x86 boxes. They have the best FOSS support right now and having ARM A53 cores means you can do QoS at fairly good speed. Don’t expect good Wi-Fi if you went with devboards like OpenWrt One.

Technology@lemmy.world•What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge WindowsEnglish
1710·3 months agoThe fundamental issue is that the desktops themselves are inferior products. Linux desktop developers spent years arguing which bad solution is better for a solved problem.
The gap is closer now but that’s only because Windows is killing itself.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the oldest video game you still find yourself playing?
2·4 months agoFinished Mother 1 from 1989 recently. It’s surprisingly good aside from final mountain encounter rate.


I recommend either Wrye Bash or MO2.
