Opensuse tw

I’d say go with kde as you DE. Personally I like opensuse tumbleweed.

Opensuse gives a lot of „windows like“ features like control panel etc.

I also switched from being a pixel user since forever because of the p7p signal issues. Agree on the tensor thing too.

This looks like shit

No.

Actually I was able to change root into the installation now, but when I run grub2-install, I get EFI var errors, I kinda feel like giving up at this point haha.

Are these cleaning apps still a thing?

You only have dinner once a year?

I had some bumps on my 7 pro already.

I mean would definitely consider Reddit and lemmy social media.

Remember the windows XP & HDD days when you would reinstall windows every new year so it ran smoother xd

I know, but in the last year with the pixel no features worth mentioning got added, at least that was my experience, used to be more exciting a few years ago. Maybe I was expecting too much.

I got the pixel because they promised feature drops 🤷‍♂️ that’s what excites me.

A reoccurring theme unfortunately.

Thanks :) Didn’t want to risk going for another Pixel given the issues I had.

General call quality, calls dropping, people not being able to call me.

You do know that Googles apps are all closed source right? Have you ever even tried any aosp rom? Go and have a look. There’s not much there.

For me the features I need aren’t part of aosp. So I’m using closed source now anyways. Sure it’s running on an open source platform, but it seems Google wants Android to be like Apple. Then I might just as well use Apples products as their ecosystem is a lot more refined.

I did also get a replacement, which had all the same issues.

Nice thanks for the hint, might check it out. Did you also switch recently?

For me the camera is important, and the other manufacturers have long caught up with the Pixel. Back in the day, even before the first Pixel (Nexus 5x) there was no competition and Google was a few years ahead, but now it’s just a matter of preference. That, plus the iPhone takes much nicer video. Overall my impression is that the 15 Pro takes slightly better pictures than the 7 Pro, but it’s also 1 year newer so…

My main issue with the 7 Pro was calling. It keeps dropping calls, call quality is much worse than on my other phones (e.g. Pixel 3), I had issues with dual sim where other people couldn’t connect calls with me. I tried everything, switching providers, esim, physical sim, LTE, WLAN calling, created debug logs for the dev team, I even got a replacement unit from Google, but still no fix…
The second reason for switching is that I found the last 2 Android version boring, and most new features are bound to Google’s ecosystem. I also didn’t want to go for another Pixel until they refine their hardware, and also the new price is ridiculous for a Pixel phone imo.
