you're not passing dri and render128 to docker, how is this supposed to work? as X client?

to anyone else looking for a bit better security wrt gaming, you can limit home folder exposure to wine with winetricks sandbox (eliminates links to anything but c: inside the prefix) and firejail --net=none as command prefix, to disable network access. the latter obv doesn't work with flatpak lutris/heroic/steam.

syncthing to sync your notes folder (and your pictures, audiobooks, whatevers); then the editors can be anything, i.e. whatever you prefer on each platform. sync over the internet can be disabled and set so it works only on your home LAN. also, sync direction, maybe you want it to sync only one way. turn on versioning to get at the version from two weeks ago. etc.

you should be in the know by now to not get locked in by any one provider or app. always go with the thing that gives you exit options.

I don't think that's correct as I've registered a fresh account as described, during the setup phase of a phone, within the last month and no phone number was needed. I'll give you the benefit of doubt as I don't want to do that again just to disprove a stranger on the internet, but if anything changed it had to change in this very, very recent period.

edit: the posit of OP was to open an account in order to be able to register to other accounts, not go jasonbourne on 5eyes and friends.

I ain't got none of those and this is/was the only way you can open a gmail account without a phone number; as posited in OP, this is to be used only to register to stuff, not use it as a comms medium.

buncha folks are running linux on macbooks, but their experience will be of little use to you as T2 macbooks are hella complicated in that regard.

the wifi going away, unless it's the published fix on t2linux (restart NetworkManager on resume via systemd), is something you need to describe in more detail.

never had/heard issues wrt trackpad, I'd have to look into that.

not waking after sleep promptly is due to softlocks on the CPU; it will wake eventually. if you're not happy with that, there's a short script that shuts all cores off prior to standby and reactivates them on wake; that puts the wake time to a coupla seconds.

get your old android phone, no phone # needed. install lineageos + gapps. go to some public wifi spot. register a fresh gmail account. jot the login down somewhere. reset/wipe your phone. you're done.

I'd rather stop communicating altogether than do anything that involves interacting with shitcoins in any shape or form.

nvram GfxMode= re-enables the graphics.

also, do not use on 2015 models with AMD graphics, reportedly it bricks them.

yeah, nvram GfxMode= and reboot enables it

my mistake, oneplus 6 is. was sure f1 was also there but now I see it isn't.

the thing with halium is you have better hardware compatibility as android can use the OEM blobs, whereas you have more modern kernels, software, etc. with postmarketOS/mobian but worse hardware issues, e.g. cameras mainly.

so based on that, choose your fighter. good luck

let's get some pterodactyls going up in here, there's way too many of us causing too much trouble

the dev vibecodes; I make a distinction between using the crap as a boilerplate helper and a full-blown agentic "hey computer, do this but do it super-good!". not only that, they got a super-asshole vibe as they removed claude traces from the repo and then flaunted that it's so people won't know what parts were vibeshat. "good luck finding the cutoff point", I'm paraphrasing here.

to each their own, but that's a hard pass for that fork from me.

if you were looking for an excuse to torpedo this abomination, here it is. hosting this gargantuan stack just for an encrypted csv file? at least the client (electron) gobbles up RAM like it's free while being bug-compatible with whatever chrome version was current half a year ago.

sadly, news ain't great on the other side of the fence - keepassXC dev is all-in on vibeshitting; latest non-polluted version is 2.7.9.; works fine and the stuff they're working on is pretty far from essential. some unknown folks forked it but who's to say what their expertise is.

never thought I'd disable my autoupdate timers but here we are. keep your eyes open.
