I also have a netbook with an Atom N2600, I overclocked it from 1.6GHz to 2.0GHz, upgraded from 1GB to 3GB of RAM, and replaced the old HD with an SSD, I then installed MX Linux, 32 bits version, Xfce, and it works pretty well. Only huge webpages are slow, but everything else is about still usable

Me using no systemd, no flatpak, no snap… I think I’ll pass

Of course, I even installed latest MX Linux on my 2007 netbook, with an atom 32 bits, 3GB of RAM, I replaced the old HD with a $20 SSD, works fine, pretty slow in firefox, but works :)

I’m using video download helper, an extension for firefox https://www.downloadhelper.net/ and it can download about every video from web site. At one time it was not able so it asked me to install a Companion App and with it was able to dl from anime site and all.

Your btrfs was in a LUKS partition and you can decode it? But know that btrfs uses smart compression by default, so you can recover jpeg or zip easily in general, but for stuff compressed, not sure how to decompress them by hand … Like other commenter wrote, first do a full copy on another HD.

no clue, I am on HyperOS. But there is all the popular one like Lineage or Pixel

yeah about the same, old coot here, I plug a USB3-SSD (encrypted with LUKS) and rsync from internal HD to this external HD. That’s it.

last time I did it was in 2020 so certainly things changed a lot… xda is your friend :)

The A1x series has always been very low budget, slow, etc, anyway, in 6 years the phone will be unusable.

On modern android, it’s about impossible without rooting your phone

yeah, on previous phones I played cat-and-mouse with magisk and all kind of patch to have Wallet work, but it breaks every 2 or 3 weeks and you have to chase down how to re-fix it…

can we use Google Wallet to tap pay with an unlocked bootloader?

Same for PoCo ? It seems the PoCo F3 is one of the phone with the most custom ROM development on XDA, very popular.

Yeah, again, I saw this, there is multiple fork… I’m still using the latest 2.4.0 from 2021, I’ll see if it’s compatible.

I am using barrier for years too, I’ll check this one

I’m with you on the french canadian keyboard, in a recent W11 laptop I got from work, it’s damn complicated to go in the settings, languages, etc and finally find the option to change keyboard layout! And sometimes if you have more than one kb, the system switch from one to another with some secret combo keys or damn god whatnot. I removed the US keyboard and just keep the FR_CA one.

I don’t know what program really is catching the keys, but from my keyboard, the vol+/- mute speaker and mute mic are working, my behavior enable keyboard shortcut checkbox is rightly checked.

I’m using Xfce, and the program to control volume is “pavucontrol”, no problem with it…

Plugin in my panel seems to be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libpulseaudio-plugin.so

Well, I have for 3 years now a PoCo F3 with MIUI, and HyperOS now, and never had an ads or bloatware, in the first hour I got the phone, I just uninstall/disabled some apps and didn’t consent on the “miui” stuff, that’s it.

Quickly came to write “AWK!!!” but yeah… you don’t want its superiority… 😜
