Yet.

as someone, who could have been a professional classical guitar player, I am insulted.

The thing about foldables is that they are great and great for a while now - hardware wise. Like, my Fold 4 is amazing. The hole when it’s closed is a bit strange, but now they managed to close these phones technically flushed - so the only “real” problem disappeared.

the software side of things is what more important. how the OS handles the two (or three) and foldable screens.

It’s nice that Google too is pushing this market. This means the support for folding screens will be eventually completely baked into the OS and the manufacturers don’t have to hack up apps and services for it.

Now we need people to buy these to make the tech even more cheap and better. Though, if I look into the future in a kind of sci-fi glasses, folding and flexible screens are evident so I think we will be there eventually.

so they are now pricey one-time/disposable phones

Reading your post, all I can think of is to get a decent TV and a small form factor computer, install LibreELEC on it and you have a standalone Kodi box.

Lots of plugins available (YouTube, I think Crunchyroll too), absolutely no ads, no slowdown, fluent and capable UI. It can be strange that all the plugins use Kodi’s framework, but they all work just fine. Some needs some additional things to do to work, but you really set up your plugins once, and they are good to go. I’m using Kodi for 3-4 years continuously as my main media machine and all the plugins updates regularly. You can play back local or remote media through network share seamlessly. Just get a PC with enough hardware to do 4K video. (I’m watching at max 1080p, but for that, a 3rd generation Intel i5 was more than enough).

on mobile it’s just a huge pile of stinky shit anyway

welp, it’s another story how useful is this picture 😄, it just came to my mind and brought me some nostalgia in the meantime towards the artist. (yeah, saying artist in this case is strange, but otherwise who made this is a digital artist, or was, idk how active still)

reminded me of this picture

I like nano tho it has some strange shortcuts

System of a Down - System of a Down

Lula 3D. Though, I never played with it eventually as it froze up the computer so bad we had to pull the plug, the experience as a kid was probably my worst gaming moment.

Mario Kart 7, but 8DX would be fine, too.

I guess he just wanna links

what’s the problem using RST with Linux?

Just asking, my old laptop too has RST, but no problems with Linux. (Granted, the manufacturer’s website states I should install only 8GBs of RAM max and once I used 16GB in it, and had some strange… memory related issues sometimes… with 12, there’s no problem. Tho this wasn’t a Linux problem, my laptop just hanged after booting into anything. (Linux, Windows, memtest, anything, really))

I used to use Ubuntu, but nowadays I just go with Debian for servers (as well), but you said you wish to choose something else, so I can’t give you any meaningful inputs…

I don’t know how real the outdated packages threat, but I would assume, a server never really wants the bleeding edge software and Debian usually gets the critical security updates and patches.

But I’m no expert.

It is true that Bookworm is kinda old now, though.

Deez beans :3

unless your storage is a floppy disk, won’t be a problem

oh yeah, now one can accidentally close the Start menu by clicking in the gap between the panels.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, this is broken, too. But around 40 taps later, it works once or twice.

Nah, bro 500 pounds is INSANE. I can get a nice v1 Switch used around 150-200 pound where I live and usually consoles, especially Nintendo here are expensive, even second-hand, so you may really reconsider this pricetag.

Also, being a v1 Switch isn’t a too extravagant thing nowadays since all of the Switches can be hacked with a Raspberry Pi Pico board variant that is around 3 bucks each.
