I ditched my carriers about a year or so ago. Ported two numbers over to JMP.chat and all has been good. Contacts integration and using the standard Phone to make calls works well. Agreed, too, the support is great. Nice bunch of folks.
There’s a few guides or articles that might be helpful.
How to Replace Your Carrier on Android Using These Fully Open-Source Tools
Set up your Internet Phone Number (JMP.chat) with Cheogram
Dialer integration is possible using the Cheogram client but the monocles chat client is now based on Cheogram & Conversations so one could use that also. It might have a few extra options/features.
3·6 months agoI have Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile Spin on a ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 3. I kinda like it. Initially rotation wasn’t working but once fixed it was cool.
Had also tried KDE Neon but don’t recall why I went back to Fedora.
2·8 months agoNative Alpha also uses your webview for rendering. If your BlackBerry still gets updates then maybe you’re fine. Otherwise a bit insecure but maybe that’s not a problem(?).
Oh, I found out that WebApps was moved to the F-Droid Archives repo. They’ve been cleaning up the main repo by moving out older and unmaintained apps.
Ah, sorry. Forgot to include a link. Just noticed today that it is no longer on F-Droid.
WebApps is no longer maintained but so is the dev’s older GApps Browser yet that’s still there. Strange.
Despite being dated it suits me fine. Used with updated webviews (Mulch) so I feel comfortable with its use.
Not sure as I use Toby Kurien’s WebApps for stuff like that. Only using Native Alpha Plus for old email accounts (Netscape/AOL, Yahoo, etc.).
Checked their GitHub and see that crashes have been reported when long-pressing.
Have you tried the right-click menu thing? See this post… https://github.com/cylonid/NativeAlphaForAndroid/issues/119#issuecomment-2284133665

Their Matrix chat is very active regarding development and other things. Builds are available on a regular basis. Not sure why you insist on calling it dead if you don’t know or care to know anything. So it doesn’t support your watch, it’s dead? Yet it supports mine, so it’s alive and kicking. ¯_(⊙ʖ⊙)/¯
SoftMaker Office is what I’ve used on Linux for lots of years. Has served me well.
I used Garuda in the past and was impressed. What’s cool is they have a bunch of ther own services in addition to Lemmy.

Then resurrect it. Give it life by posting to it. 😏
I’m gonna have to give this one a try. Syncthing is being a pain in my backside.
Got Void running on an old laptop about a year ago. Very nice. The fact that it is not based on any of the others also made it appealing.
True. Luckily I don’t have anything large (4GB+). I do plan to change the filesystem. I forgot to mention that I used to have Windows 7 on that old laptop. The other reason why the shared partition was FAT32/vfat.
Sorry for the really late response. Since one of the OSes is BSD I have one shared FAT32 partition mostly for basic getting-things-from-one-to-the-other stuff. Far as I know OpenBSD does not support ext4 (at least not r/w). It does support ext2.
Since all three OSes have the Nextcloud client it would have been cool to have its directory on a shared partition to reduce redundancy.
I may change things up, format it to ext2 and see if I can use it to share Documents, Music, Pictures, and Video across all three OSes. Maybe.
I have a triple boot laptop with MX Linux, Void Linux, and OpenBSD on an old laptop where VMing wouldn’t work so well.
As others have pointed out a shared home directory is not a good idea. Shared data (documents, music, images, etc.) would be fine as mentioned previously.
Never really distro hopped. Went from DOSLinux to Slackware and stayed put as my main. Having multiple machines, some multi booters, meant I had/tried a bunch of others. Vector Linux, Xubuntu, Debian Wheezy, several Arch-based (up to Garuda), various BSDs, and two unices (OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana, IRIX). Got an old ancient ToughBook (Pentiun II, 192MB RAM) with Arch before systemd collecting dust.
[ Those machines had multiple Windows versions also from Win2k to Win7 including XP x64 Edition ] Dem were da days. 🥰
Currently, Main laptop: Slackware. 2nd laptop: MX Linux, Void Linux, OpenBSD. Mini PC: Slint (Slackware-based).
Well, for the mini PC I did distro hop. Went through a lot trying to find the right one. Most were Arch-based (but not Arch itself) and they would indeed break at the worst time. Nature of bleeding edge rolling release I guess. Mostly I was looking for something non-systemd. Eventually settled on Slint.
I have/had a bunch of these books. Some got lost but I have the electronic versions of them.
This is one other book I fondly remember. UNIX For Application Developers. From 1991 I think. I vaguely remember a statement in the intro along the lines of Windows being user friendly but UNiX being expert friendly. :-)
Couldn’t find a better image.
Way back when DOSLinux existed the dev provided a Midnight Commander with a fully loaded F2 menu as well as setup associations. Could literally do almost anything and everything from within the file manager. I later moved the configs over to Slackware and pretty much lived in MC to get things done. At some point the MC code reduced the number of entries in the F2 menu so I would have to rebuild it to remove the limitation.
No longer use it like that today but MC is used constantly for file management locally and remotely (mostly to a Kodi box).
Using OFMs (Norton/Volkov/Midnight Commanders and FAR) has always been easier and faster to use than Explorer-style GUI FMs for me.
Void is NOT based on Arch. It was an original distro created by an ex-NetBSD dev. But yeah, I’d recommend it too.
