Have you actually read the article? It mostly lists problems and reasons not to get a Tuxedo laptop. I’d advise to go for a Framework machine instead, they actually have good Linux support and do not require custom software written in Electron…

No, Lomiri. It is a succesor of Unity

Ubuntu Touch uses Lomiri (a successor of Unity), not GNOME.

Correction, hi postmarketOS dev here, we are using whatever the user wants. We ship Phosh, GNOME Mobile, Plasman Mobile, SXMO, Lomiri. We don’t have just one interface.

Or Matrix.

You don’t have to configure KDE you know. You can just keep the defaults like you’re probably doing with GNOME.

It does!

You’re right, you can’t run the Android (or iOS app) twice. If you want a second device running WhatsApp you’ll need the web app.

I definitely hope so, so far it’s looking promising!

I think installing all those dependencies by hand is not a good solution in the long run.

Well, no. “In the long run” this gets packaged by distributions so you don’t have to compile anything. Right now it’s available for Alpine Linux and there is an AUR package for Arch.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a flatpack container to be downloaded somewhere?

There is a Flatpak (no c in that name!) base app available, and Newpipe has been packaged with that as a Flatpak, see https://flathub.org/apps/net.newpipe.NewPipe Ideally we get more stuff packaged up once more works but I don’t think it’s feasible to repackage everything out there so for a lot of applications you’ll just have to have a locally installed ATL outside of Flatpak.

I agree with the sunscreen, although I wouldn’t use it if I wasn’t planning to stay out in the sun for long, but that’s about it for an average person. Your body is supposed to hydrate itself, and getting dirt and grime off is the function of a shower. I’m sure not everybody’s skin hydrates itself enough so they would probably need to use a moisturizer, sure, but that doesn’t mean everybody should do it all the time.

Same for acne, that’s a case where it makes sense to use some products because your skin is clearly failing to maintain itself, but again that doesn’t mean you should do the same thing if you don’t have such issues.

You were responding to a comment talking about Ubuntu Touch. You then talking about “we” without any explaining of who you meant made me assume you meant Ubuntu Touch users.

You missed the word “some”. The human body had millions of years to evolve to a point where companies seem to think they can replace essential functions of it? Where is the logic in that? Some people (I’ll make sure to emphasize it) have skin issues yes, because nature isn’t perfect. They might need some product to help out. But by far the majority will be just fine without them.

The OrganicMaps for “regular” Linux is very different from the Android app though. Completely different UI tech (Qt vs native Android widgets) and lacks important things like turn-by-turn navigation.

That and effective marketing campaigns, especially using influencers. It’s Dutch but a local TV show recently had a good section about it, https://youtu.be/Ey8yvF6m5AU?t=1

Don’t worry, they will tell me if I smell. I think it’s interesting that you think you know me or my friends.

I think this is one of those cases where the burden of proof is on the person using the products, not on the one not using them. Your post is basically an advertising campaign for several of these products.

You do realize your body is supposed to maintain itself right? Of course some people will actually need some stuff because their body doesn’t do it well enough, but if your body doesn’t have actual problems there is no need to use any of these products.

It translates the Android API to Linux desktop-compatible calls, just like Wine does for Windows apps.

This is not about Newpipe itself but more that fact that this is an Android app ran on desktop Linux, without any containers like Waydroid does. This is like Wine, but for Android apps.
