That’s really depending on your use cases, for example if I want to install distro for my grandma use Mint, for a graphic guy (as in this example) use Arch or Fedora (or even OpenSUSE), etc.

That seems to be a great distro to follow

I’m sure talking about the 30days challenge from Raid Owl and I have an idea of his conclusion. First he’s a power user (not in the fact of tweaking and scratch in the file system), he needs a lot of stuff to work. And for someone outside of the traditional office work or maybe developing, Linux is hard to use for graphics works, so sure Linux Mint is not for this kind of people but you should always recommended it to “normal” people and beginner in Linux. Sure in this case his conclusion is wrong, he should have used Fedora, Arch or OpenSUSE, but that’s it.

I agree for Cromite, but maybe you should double check Mulch? On fdroid it is said only armeabi-v7a…

EDIT : As seen on another comment maybe try to install Lineage, what’s the phone reference?

First buy a new phone.

Nah, just kidding 😂 maybe you should check Cromite (Bromite fork) https://github.com/uazo/cromite/releases.

If Bromite supported old devices maybe Cromite does the same?

But for sure this one from DivestOS will work https://divestos.org/fdroid/official/Mulch-arm-126.0.6478.122-1.apk (Chromium version of Mull)

I would like to thank him for everything, just thx ❤️ RIP

Use Localsend!

For me you can try to host a SimpleX server and then connect to it (with SimpleX it is pretty as much secure to run its one server than use a public one).

Or maybe use XMPP but try to use a good encryption protocol. This option is great in term of power efficiency, XMPP would run great on a RasPI

For currency converter you can use Converter NOW, most of the clocks can show 2 différents times but for the widget don’t know sorry (using mlauncher NO widgets.), for the weather use Breezy.

You should use an offline navigation map that’s always useful where you’re not in a known country and for me that’s all.

EDIT : a good messenger like SimpleX

If I want to host my services to the internet, I need to open a port in my firewall nah? is that not a bit risky than only allow access from the address of the data center to use this open port?

But I need to configure something on the client side… I want people to access my server as they access their Instagram account

Simply to protect my home server from attacks, and serve the content only with the remote server in a datacenter

I would like to access to my server only trough the proxy, like if I put my real IP I end up with nothing, but if I put the proxy IP it show me my server

But the speeds are much slower nah? And can I host “normal” website trough Tor?

No I don’t need a CDN only a way to hide my IP to final users and that nobody can use my real IP to connect to my server

So I need to have always the same exit node, need to connect to the server via an other IP and only this server know my ip

Do you something like a vps would be more secure? Paying some dollars a month

Xiaomi devices are a bit annoying to unlock but you should use the official way. I’ve got a xiaomi device and unlocked it. So first you need to be patient maybe it’s not going to work for the first time so try to unlock it and if it doesn’t work just wait a couple of weeks… And you should maybe ask a friend or family member to take their Sim card only to log into a xiaomi account and allow OEM unlocking. You could try an other method but when there is an official way (annoying but official) you should use it, safest and “easiest” way.

That’s not the point here but can you share your wallpaper? 😄

You’re mid right, the when something AI based is announced this is really criticized by some people and there are almost right. When something new pops, like windows recall, it is certain that this “new” feature is really not what AI is capable, and asks really important questions about privacy. But you’re right on the fact that Linux should be a bit more interested on AI and tried to made it the right way! But for now there’s no really good use cases of AI inside a distro. LLMs are good but do not need to be linked to user activities. Image generators are great but do not need to be linked to user activities… As exemple when Windows tried Recall and failed. Apple iOS 18 wants to implement that, and this should be surely a success inside the Apple minded people. But here where FOSS, privacy and anti Big-Techs guys are the main people that’s absolutely sure that every for-profit “new AI” feature would be really hated. I’m not against this mind just giving facts
