I think for a large project Rust should be easier to manage in the long run.

I HATE electron
Reply in thread
I think proprietary Electron apps better run in browser anyway because of trackers that you can disable via extensions.

Today 10 years ago I got a Firefox OS phone
If you are still interesting in Linux phone, consider looking at PinePhone Pro. I would recommend it only for experience users and the phone experience is far from Android, but software is catching up. Check @linuxphones
P.S. writing this comment from PPP :)

Yes, you can self-host it, but the problem is the cost. The blog explains it very clearly.

KDE releases today Plasma Mobile 6. Check out its renewed base system and apps.

You need a compatible phone depending on the distro. There are Mobian, PostmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch and ArchLinux Arm with Danct12 repos and others.
Right now the most supported phones are PinePhone and PinePhone Pro. Under "supported" I mean hardware support.
I have both. GNU/Linux on phones is not as polished and convenient as Android, but usable. I daily drive Pro model.

Is there something you lack in Wayland but have in xorg?
What I don't like about Wayland is that many things are specific to individual DEs. Like global shortcuts or taking screenshots. In my app I have two different solutions for taking screenshots in GNOME and KDE using XDG portals. It causes fragmentation.

Piefed is cool! Lemmy is too! What's not cool? Infighting, it drives away new users. Unfortunately this seems a common sentiment...

McConnell appears to freeze while speaking with reporters in Kentucky
I see a lot of hate towards him and it looks like he deserves it. But why is he still in the Senate? Do people vote for him?
I'm not an American, just trying to understand how it works.

Goodbye, Rust. I wish you success but I'm back to C++ (sorry, it is a rant)
On my work we migrated from C++ to Rust.

Have you considered using Arch on which Manjaro is based?
This way you won't have issues with AUR. It's not hard to install, you can use archinstall helper if you want, it's available in the default installation media.

Could anyone with BlueSky account ask them to follow @ap.brid.gy at least? It would be nice to be able to follow them from Fedi.

I daily drive GNU/Linux on my Phone (PinePhone Pro), I would say it usable, but Android is way more practical.
Also not a lot of devices can run GNU/Linux and have fully functional HW due to missing drivers. And only 3 phones of them can run mainline kernel.
Waydroid works fine, I use it for banking apps, but it's a bit slow on my specific device.

When I buy things like this, I try to buy hardware that supported by open source projects. Like routers that can run OpenWRT or Android phones that are supported by LineageOS.
It's amazing that sometimes free projects that are made for people are better than commercial one.

Orange Pi Neo is new handheld powered by AMD and comes preinstalled with Manjaro
Cool, the more Linux-based handhelds, the better! I would prefer a handheld with RK3588S, but this one is interesting too.

You can use emojis as credentials
I would recommend generating your passwords and storing them in a local password manager like KeePassXC. This way, you only need to remember one password from the database itself and you will not worry if any website leaks its database since all your passwords are unique.
