Unpopular opinion: non-pro can handle the OS just fine and then some. Try out SailfishOS (unfortunately not OSS) - it’s as smooth as butter. Or UBPorts - it works great (unfortunately both Sailfish and UBPorts aren’t as polished when it comes to actual hardware support on PinePhone, but they show nicely what could be done). I don’t think I even need to mention Sxmo, which is no surprise that it works great, but its approach is definitely not for everyone.
It’s just Gnome/Plasma that are mainly developed for “big” computers and are pretty wasteful. But the situation is definitely improving.
I have sxmo on it currently but I haven’t been using it much. I was exaggerating a bit, but it is just slow/choppy enough that I can’t do my typical web research comfortably
I also have the original PinePhone and bought Pro because the original is to slow :) Pro is way faster then the original, but is still slow compared to modern phones.
Yes, the controller is pricy. I tried buying GameSir X2 Pro first. It works with the original PP, but can’t charge and play with the Pro. I talked to megi about it and he said that the issue in the gamepad. Also it doesn’t have a headphone jack. So I sold it and bought a Backbone.
I would experience negative emotions about Lemmy/k in if I found a reddit thread describing my problem and the lauded solution was changed to say the user moved there. It would not make me want to switch.
People were saying see you in a week like this was only an API issue and not that the site became incredibly toxic and infested by bots and low quality content
Ill pop in maybe monthly to make sure my stuff stays deleted/edited and Ill check in on /r/all…its a shit show, who is entertaining this? Its karma farming or garbage across the board. Lemmy is super young but it feels like reddit a decade ago. Ill gladly deal with its shortcomings to not deal with whatever reddit turned into.
