Not a true alternative, but I love Freetube. Just for the fact that I don't have to have an account tied to it with no ads and sponsor ads is nice.

Lately there's been connection issues but usually gets resolved with 2-3 days.

Even works on my raspberry pi.

Chromium

Recently switched over to mull browser. Fork of the Firefox browser, works great so far. Also if you are unsure of the security of your browser, could use the website, browseraudit.com, that rates your current browsers. Runs 100+ against several tests and reports back.

can an average person use a linux phone?

Number 1 rule is to try it out on a second phone. Do not try with your current phone. Just don't.

Second rule : read the first rule again.

In all seriousness, I have had so much fun with mobile Linux OS's, trying out different phones and OS's but there's a deep learning curve and at the end of the day, there is not one that is completely ready to be use as a daily driver or have all the apps that I need - looking at you DUO Mobile (2fa).

However there is /e/OS, where is degoogled, has a built in tracker blocker and uses microG. Use it as a daily driver on my One plus 6t but its technically still Android. Someone did mentioned Murena, same OS.

Buy a cheap supported phone off of EBay and have a go. If you have any questions, let me know.

What is your unbiased opinion on Manjaro?

Reply in thread

Just switched to EndeavourOS about a week ago from Manjaro and been liking it so far.

Biggest reason for the change was my manjaro install was getting cluttered, and moving over to a new distro ( taking all my previous knowledgement with it) has been a blessing.

Beforehand, my Manjaro install was EFI, whereas my Windows 11 drive ( yes I know) was UEFI so switching on boot was an issue. Now both are on UEFI and show up within Grub.

Endeavor OS has bluetooth turned off by default. Thought there was an issue but nope.

So from no issues with updating, even with AUR turned on.

I just like starting fresh and setting things up with all my previous knowledge.

New roguelike game Deep Rock Galactic Survivor instantly tops original on Steam

I had a copy of Survivor from the high seas and typically like games like this. Enjoyed couple playthroughs and ended up buying it from Steam. Been enjoying it so far, but it def needs work, hence it being in Early Access. My biggest gripe is the countdown needing to get back to the ship after the boss is killed on each stage. A lot of the times, you take damage just trying to get back.

If anything is interested, here is the roadmap for the game - https://rogueliker.com/deep-rock-galactic-survivor-roadmap/

  • Upgrading Bosco, the companion that follows you, if their first goal
  • After that, working on a new biome
  • Overclocks & Artifacts are next
  • Mutations
  • Other things

its mindless fun for $10.
