Evolution being just a little bit clunky is a massive improvement from the Gnome 2 and early Gnome 3 days, for what it's worth.

Thanks, I'll have to sit my ass at my desk so I can try it again. I wonder if there's much delta between what you're using and the beta I'm on from Extra. Though it does look like there are some new betas in Extra-Testing.

I'll need to give tiling another try, I started using alpha 5 back in January and there were some pretty nasty bugs in tiling mode back then that made me think maybe a memory leak or something. After 15-20 minutes performance would get horrible until switching back to floating, though I'm fuzzy on the details.

Is there any capability to leave an open space? Honestly, I like tiling more for the orderliness above and beyond snapping than the dynamism. Aaaaaand that's reminding me why I was looking at building out a LabWC environment, it has configurable snap zones.

I started dabbling in around 2000, getting sick of the instability of Windows, and it seeming like the next logical step of geekdom.

I tried a LOT of distros. Mandrake, Connectiva, Red Hat to Fedora Core, Slackware, Debian Woody, Crux, etc etc. I drifted in a Debian-centric circle until I finally landed on Arch. Lost my way for a bit during my IT career, supporting Windows I ended up just using that. But I'm back to Arch now as my daily, Debian for some networking projects, and a bit of Fedora from time to time when I need to spin something up quick.

You're a lot more likely to find something at a local second hand store or garage sale, at least you would be in the US. Things online will usually have a markup, whereas locally you're likely to find something someone just doesn't know it's worth a damn.

Not really for the purpose of this thread, since pretty much anything can do what OP is asking, but any idea how the Juno Tab compares to the Starlabs Starlite in regards to build quality, cooling, and what not? I noticed the other day that the Starlite has been updated with an N350 CPU. Though it is up to a $765 starting price...

Once or twice a year I start thinking it would be nice to have a tablet. Then within a month I wonder wtf I want a tablet for.

Yeah, though I'm looking more to have it as a home phone with my music and downloaded maps and stuff. I've gotten used to not having much of any cell service where I live, so I moved my number to jmp.chat (considering voip.ms instead), and don't even turn on data most times I leave the house.

Graphene is great, I've been using it for a few years now. But I started wanting more storage, so looking towards the Fairphone and Shiftphone, which would require a move to Calyx or Lineage. That got me thinking about the state of AOSP, seeing Google being rather abusive towards FOSS, and I think Sailfish attracts me more that Ubuntu Touch at the moment. It seems to get a lot more development effort, and has the C2 as a more guaranteed first class citizen.

Now getting one to the US, that's another question.

This really puts some perspective on things. He's clearly a goa'uld.

Is it offering SMS? I ported to jmp.chat recently, using their XMPP gateway for voice and SMS. They offer a VOIP option, but don't support SMS.

I like being able to SMS, and I guess call, from my laptop. But there aren't any Linux XMPP clients that I'm particularly happy with, so I'm just using Cheogram in Waydroid. It's not exactly optimal.

I imagine it would be the likes of Graphene, Lineage, Calyx, and some others at the core. Probably some hardware vendors like Fairphone, Shiftphone, and probably a Xiaomi or Huawei.

Edit: ROMs maintain their own code base, but I'm pretty sure OP was talking about a larger fork of AOSP. That's what I've suggested recently, anyway.
