Or an update where they delete all your files again.

These both happened to me. I was already looking into switching to Linux in 2020, and the last update did it for me. Have been only been using Linux at home ever since.

Passphrase generator, simplelogin/addy.io integration and sync.

This makes my life so much easier.

My intentions were never to be condescending, and I feel bad for sounding that way. I edited my comment in hopes to clear things up.

I thought the com.flatpak.Appname came from Android, so I guess google is to blame?

/var is really annoying, especially when partitioning, previously I could just have a /var partition, but now I need to do /var/log specifically

Compared to say arch, gentoo, lfs. ubuntu is easier to install, but I believe the point you wanted to make is that there are distros that are as easy if not easier to install than ubuntu

edit: I see now that this might have sounded more condescending than I had intended, and for that I’m sorry.

The point I wanted to make was that there are both better and worse installers out there. Which is something I enjoy about linux and the different distros. You have the option to install something easy and just use your computer as you see fit, or you can tinker and learn different ways your computer can be set up.

Thank you OP for inspiring me to play with my PinePhone again.

Seeing how simple your setup is, I’m thinking I could turn it into my LAN gaming rig.

I did for the most important stuff, but redownloading my game library was not fun.

Also, windows will never brick your machine because of a full hard drive. My wife has a shitty MacBook air. She filled the drive completely. The OS can no longer function. It boots and that’s it. You can’t open anything, you can’t delete anything. Every single click says free up HDD space, even deleting files.

The almost exact same thing happened to a friend of mine using Windows 11. The machine booted, but he was unable to log in.

Also windows 10 updates has twice deleted all my files, I am now no longer on windows.

edit: Thanks to psud@aussie.zone for teaching me something new. (quotes formatting is a thing)
