  • If they can get a few phones that everything “just works” I think Nura will be better for linux enthusiasts coming from android. I have a Fairphone 5 with Gnome Mobile installed and it feels at home, and a very similar UX with how in would use a phone under android, with how apps are switched and how the phone interacts (pull down quick settings for wifi/GPS/notifications, etc) obviously android is more polished with features. But I like it better than Ubports UX, and I’m not a fan that Ubports has to have custom made apps while also not supporting flatpaks.

    Though both are a success for getting linux ecosystem on a phone, so I’m not hating, I just prefer the UX and apps support of a project like Nura better.





  • This breaks down for professionals that are self taught though. For example, I still to this day, say in my head "F-Stab " for fstab, instead of “F-S-Tab”, and various other terms I learned when i was learning linux myself when I was 13. Didn’t understand at the time that it stood for filesystems table, so f-stab is how I pronounced the term in my head. In the UEFI case, I’ll just pronounce each letter at a time, U-E-F-I.

    Yarrr this was 1 of many reasons why I canceled Netlfix. At some point I was watching a movie that had a scene where the main character was kayaking at night and ran into some trouble. Due to their compression, (not only the 720 resolution), I literally couldn’t see what was happening in scene, it was just a bunch of giant black and grey blocks moving around the screen. I decided right then I was done paying for this shit.

    At that point I’m paying for content that’s worse quality then when people used to cam new releases in theaters back in early 2000’s
