I have the same experience unfortunately in Europe. Was looking for a new hairdryer the other day, and it's just endless pages of the same Chinese crap with made up brand names and fake customer reviews.

Gave up and drove to the store instead.

Thank you! I had no clue what to even search for but your comment pointed me in the right direction.

I spent the past hour setting this up and it almost works, but for some reason when I boot I only see something like "Loading initramfs" and then just a black screen and nothing happens. If I mash the escape key before I reach the black screen then plymouth works and I see the logo and LUKS password prompt.

In the past I wanted to use auto unlock via TPM, however it seems quite complicated to set up and the Arch wiki advises against it anyway, so I just enter the password during boot.

The one improvement I would like to make here is to have a nicer input (visually) like Fedora but I'm not sure how this is done and how I could replicate that on Arch.

Usually if you use Do not Disturb and the same number calls you twice within 15 mins then it will still ring

ICYMI the "simple" apps were sold to some shovelware company and will require a subscription soon (or maybe they already do). So you might want to look for an alternative if that's what you are using.

Literally everyone I know uses WhatsApp. It's probably been over a decade since I last sent or received an actual SMS (except for 2FA codes).

It's on my todo list I swear

Change / coins are pretty annoying imho

Well I literally just ordered an ultrawide OLED for work, but I guess I'll have to play some games then to protect the monitor...

I remember trying this as well but it didn't help, and the problem also exists on Linux

[–] Akinzekeel@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Sure, please check the other reply in this comment thread

Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem. On the left is Firefox and on the right Thorium (Chromium). I've had this problem on Windows before but now I'm using Linux and it's the same unfortunately.
