Murena released a tablet with /e/OS, and it’s also possible to install it on other tablets. It’s still quite early after the release so I am not sure there will be reviews from artists on their specific use of the tablet but you can consider it another option.

Edit: didn’t UBPorts release a tablet version of Ubuntu Touch?

Also non-child miners tend to be more expensive

Switch to peertube mate

Cryptpad for a Drive/Online Office Suite replacement, it’s fantastic

Dude I loved your book, thank you so much

Oh dang. That’s true.

I don’t like their default launcher either, it’s indeed very iphon-y. I just installed another launcher and that’s it. It’s essentially Android so that’s no problem. I also disabled microg entirely, which is possible.

Murena does ship them to the USA, but with /e/OS preinstalled, which is great if you’re into privacy and degoogling. I don’t know how it works with US carriers though. Feel free to ask them on their forum, community.e.foundation

Never sell land. Use it!

I use this, it’s pretty good

I can definitely recommend Librewolf over Vivaldi if you don’t need crazy levels of customization. To me it was just much more than what I needed so I went with Librewolf which is also obviously a lot lighter. Vivaldi being based on Chromium is pretty much the only criticizable thing about the project. Henry from Techlore interviewed their CEO not long ago, look it up, it was quite interesting.

Also, I am planning on moving to Norway in the next two to three years, would you mind if I messaged you privately with a couple questions?

I don’t have that phone anymore but I used WebApps for banking and chatting and they worked well. Now their app store is much much bigger though.

I bought a Linux phone back in 2015 (BQ Aquaris 5 running Ubuntu Touch) and even back then with the flagrant lack of apps the phone was usable

So surprised! /s

Same here, whether I’m using VPN or not.

That’s true for me as well, some updates seem to change up battery usage for apparently no reason

In the past I used Proton VPN and now I use Mullvad. It happened with both.

Yeah it doesn’t make much sense for a custom ROM to use up the battery quicker since technically it’s got a lot less bloatware, but I have seen it mentioned a few times. In my case I don’t have GrapheneOS but if I use a VPN on my phone, the battery time gets almost cut in half. I guess then it depends on the device.

Wow so much info, thanks a lot!!

I too have read that GrapheneOS is heavy on the battery.

Sir/Madam, you are doing the lord’s work.
