KDE Connect, when set up properly(pretty much does it automatically) alongside a linux system, you can access the entirety of your phone’s internal storage over LAN as if it were a network drive mounted on your PC.

Unfortunately banking apps are only going to get harder to run on software uncertified by Google.

Why not? especially when it’s a laptop from 2010

For the Ally there’s just not enough benefits to go through the effort, I’ll reiterate.

for you, yes.

Are you aware that steamOS supports more than just steam games?

No, it’s in fact not a bit, which is exactly what they wrote.

Are they really that unwelcoming? I’ve heard a bunch about this, fortunately never got to experience it first hand.

The latter, almost everyone wants to use a phone with a qualcomm chipset, because most app and game developers almost never bother to optimise their software for mediatek processors.

I think it could be because about 10 years ago, mediatek didn’t really have any SOCs that could compete with the qualcomm flagships, therefore confining themselves to the budget phone category. Which is what earned mediatek SOCs the reputation of being slow.

That started to change with the release of their dimensity line of SOCs which matched or in some cases even surpassed the performance of Qualcomm flagships but the public perception of mediatek has only recently started changing. Hopefully we see more people buying mediatek SOC based phones so developers have some incentive to optimise their apps for it.

You seem to be confusing arranged marriage with forced marriage my friend

So you’re telling me all arranged marriages never end well because divorce is looked down upon?

Okay, there’s no chance he’s getting it back though…

You realize that Linux is not Open Source.

Huh?

No witnesses 🔫

Have you tried playintegrity fix?

Do you pass play integrity?

How does it being 2024 justify not having a headphone jack. Most other phones competing with the phone 1 do have a headphone jack fyi.

If you’re on KDE Plasma 6, there’s an option to enable screen tearing in fullscreen applications, turning that on seems to have fixed a similar problem I had.
