From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't use it. OnePlus 6s are as rare as Apple IIs here lol. I would love to try though. From what I know it has some issues that depend on the DE you choose. There aren't many apps and unfortunately landscape mode didn't seem to be implemented the last time I checked so using unoptimized apps is not easy. But also reviewers say that it's smooth and even battery life is decent (at least on GNOME Mobile) so it's going quite well for the OS I think. You probably can use it as daily driver if you only need a terminal, a browser and basic productivity apps (clock, calendar and notes) but it's constantly updating so new bugs may appear all the time
Its far more advanced by now. I use fluffychat for matrix communication, landscape mode works very well, I‘m working on porting bitwarden to pmos rn but its gonna take more time or someone else to help.
A litany of apps is already working on pmos and they’re becoming more numerous every day. Still, it is a community effort so feel obligated to contribute (as you should with every program not selling your data).
Well I can't contribute in any way except telling more people about the program
Good you say it out loud. That way you and others can be shown that this is a false assumption.
Ways to contribute but not limited to:
Obviously, telling others about it is still helping and valid. But saying you cant contribute any other way seems unlikely.
Thanks for bringing it up.
Ok now it's time to explain what I meant I guess.
I earn around $100 a month so donating is not even considered
I don't understand the translation software. I think running a space shuttle is easier
I don't know English and any language well enough to write it and even if I did, I'm not that advanced to speak about initramfs issues or pretty much anything backend-related
That will just add spam in my inbox and following just to make the forum have a higher number of subscribers is kinda unethical and can even violate its terms and conditions
Now that is something I probably can do... if I take 10x the normal doze of sedatives because I'm autistic
In conclusion, when I say I can't contribute, I mean it and I don't mean that idk how to contribute
I‘m autistic as well so please feel relate to on that front.
In conclusion, we autistic people tend to get stuck in our ways more often and need to rethink our approach to things so we can live without self imposed, unnecessary restrictions.
Have a good one.
Not only that but also now I'm close to doing something that I can't tell because it's against Lemmy's terms of service. I think you get what it is. I use spending all my money and even more as help to keep myself in a biologically functional state
What I meant about translation software is the systems that open-source projects use to host croudsourced translation (I can't remember the names sorry). I tried opening it a few times and I can tell you that the US Space Shuttle's cockpit is easier to understand and navigate than the software. It at least has labels beneath the controls
I'm writing flawlessly only in very specific cases that were trained for an extensive period of time are not helpful for serious scientific texts unfortunately. Often I don't write what I can't write well and just lie instead of trying to explain my real position (because that way I can use words and phrases I know) so that's why my language looks flawless. Also, since I don't speak my mother tongue almost at all for more than a year now (I don't have a life offline), its knowledge has become greatly damaged as well
I don't really want to get banned from e-mail providers and idk any temporary e-mail services that work in my country (idk how to use a good VPN)
Basically for me doing most of the social things feels like walking naked in a mall. It's impossible to do when sober. Being on forums doesn't count for some reason
In conclusion, I would highly recommend you to pay more attention at paragraph 1 and refrain from trying to change anything since it may result in digital disciplinary trouble for both you and me.
Whatever you think mate. I stand by my initial statement. I can relate to the inflexibility of your thoughts because its a thing I often struggle with as well. I wont refrain from anything though as you can probably imagine. Have a good one.
