Wtf this looks super old but I’ve never seen it before and I am old enough to remember when icanhazcheeseburger, fml, and people of Walmart were popular websites . Yeah bruh and the ads were so minimal; like a banner at the top and at the bottom. Weird times.
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.
Yeah. I especially like how Netflix took a show about a dystopia where hopelessly indebted people play kids’ games for money (and survival) and made it into a reality show where (probably hopelessly indebted) playing kids’ games for money.
You can always count on media owners and other filthy rich people to emulate the villains in dystopian fiction 🤦
