While I agree Pixel and GrapheneOS rock, it's a hilarious solution contextually. OP was gifted a phone for Christmas, and your solution is to get rid of the gift, assume they have expendable income, and suggest dropping $700 on a new phone so they can immediately void its warranty.

Yeah that's the one, I'm right there with you, I probably put in several hundred hours as a kid, but never bothered to read past the tutorial, so I never made it far in the story. I have to imagine there are some good mods to help folks like us

oooh, I'm going to have to try out nushell, I'm liking the look of that

I'm sure hoping so, I haven't followed development super closely, but I'm kinda imagining that the 3080 ti should be new enough :)

Oh absolutely, this isn't to say "Wayland bad", it's just to say that a large number of people may not have a smooth transition, so it's hard to say "just do it"

It was a birthday gift from my wife, and lets not alienate people who don't know computer hardware very well and pick up something from Best Buy. I agree that Nvidia sucks, and many of the issues are indeed their fault, but we also can't neglect the fact that they own the vast majority of the market.

I wish that was my experience, but Nvidia drivers on KDE Wayland have had a lot of oddities and issues that have caused me to go back to Xorg every time I've tried (12 times and counting). Wayland is a good move in the right direction, and I look forward to it, but it's still being implemented.

Mine's "Mako" from Mass Effect, since it has a penchant for running itself off of cliffs (stairs)

So far so good gaming-wise on the 3080 ti, not to deny I don't bump into other random issues thanks to nvidia

We're entitled to a reasonable amount of privacy, such as locks on our doors and curtains on our windows, why shouldn't reasonable privacy also apply to our lives online?

I used to every day when I worked at a music shop and would play audio demos from it. The loss of the port made my job VERY difficult to do. Now that I work in a new field and have had to invest in some bluetooth earbuds, I don't find that I'd need the port very often, though the audiophile in me misses it sometimes, especially since bluetooth can be so unreliable sometimes. Don't miss the dangling cable, but the thing is, I can bluetooth earbud on a phone that has a 3.5mm jack too, the fact that they removed it from phones as a standard when it's such a cheap part to implement is baffling, especially when we're paying tons for phones. I can have 16gb RAM, and 8-cores, bud God forbid I want to be able to plug in a speaker and have my phone plugged into the charger at the same time, like a repurposed old phone for a home audio system or something.

This particular OP tends to be fairly contentious, I'm surprised Beehaw didn't ever take action on his account.
