I literally tried that few days a go, what you're saying is not true.

Compiling Linux:

AMD 6800HS, ~4mins.

Apple M1 Pro, Linux VM, ~10 mins.

What's your virtualization setup?

We can't hold back the world because of some lazy UI Devs, I can't believe we still facing scaling issues in 2024!

My solution, under Linux, I get laptop screens with 2X scaling, i.e. 2.8K and 3.2K for larger laptops.

Linux does not support 10 bit colours. Also DCI P3 is still not standard instead of sRGB.

> Linux does not support 10 bit colours.

This is funny because 25 years ago SGI supported 10 bits of colour.

Same here,

All I do on top of what you said is use Traefik for reverse proxy and let's encrypt.

Check out one of the supported Motorola's, they sell cheap brand new.

That's a good tip. I've got a moto g32 (ca. 130 € new) running LineageOS and am happy with it. Only downside is the CPU which could be a tad faster.

Unlocking the phone's bootloader is also not so easy, because you have to register your phone online and the web page is quite finicky. I had to try with different browsers to get the registration form to work.

Yeah, Motorola (which are now a brand of Lenovo after Google bought and sold them a while ago) are good value for money. I owned the Motorola Milestone (Motorola Droid in the US), then the Moto X (smaller version of the Nexus 6), and finally the ultra-thin Moto Z - however I was a bit disappointed with that one because the battery management was totally screwed up after a few years - it used to shut down spontaneously while reporting 60% battery and I wasn't able to reset it.

Huawei MateBook 14 (AMD 4600H)

Very close to perfect for me!

Pros:

- AMD CPU/GPU

- 3:2 HiDPI screen

-Metal construction

-Long battery life

- Very quiet even when under load

Cons:

- Fingerprint reader is not supported

- Screen is reflective and 60Hz only, I'm spoilt by high refresh screens now, buy one and you'll understand why.

Looking forward to ThinkPad T14 AMD Gen 5, last year's was close to perfect, but no way I'll be investing in a 60Hz LoDPI screen device.

These kind of news make me feel happy that I'm Apple, Microsoft and Google* free.

Phone is ungoogled Android.

Ironic that Android was mostly developed by Google.

But isn't it lovely though, the ability to not be beholden to the original developer with the device you own?

It should bring hope to the hearts of all device owners that are currently firmly under the bootheel of device manufacturers.

Exactly why its a bad look for Apple right? Android is open, you don't need to have Google apps to make it work on other hand you can't even install Firefox/Chrome on iOS.

It's best to try it, people use different subset of apps.

As I replied below, everything I need works, including a number of banking apps.

I used to use Lineage OS with microG, but now I use iode, very similar.

Note, I never patched or installed something besides microG ever, so my experience is as close to pure microG experience as possible.

Weird!

Here in UK, using microG, banking apps for Nationwide, Starling, Revolut, HSBC all work with no issues.

Generally, I face no issue using any app.

Location services and notification both work reliably.

I bought a Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5, 7840HS.

First order, it had coil whine, rattling touchpad and a corrupted edid.

Second order, it also had coil whine, rattling and non-working touchpad.

I'm truly puzzled.
