[Linux] jeremyandroid:
Well. I have not been on xda in a couple of years and ended up here. So I stopped using Windows back at Windows Xp I believe. However, my wife always let me mess with her laptop for weeks at a time here and there when they came out with a new OS. I never in my life thought I would be saying this, and I'm not kidding on how much **** I been getting by family and friends but, Windows 11 is incredible. Linux Kali , Parrot as well as my android Os all opens up inside Windows just as if the entire distribution is an app sort of. So I have always run a heavily modified version of Debian but sort of Ubuntu as I have everything i need. Now Windows 11 runs Linux so snappy so fast responding its like after a kernel update or a big upgrade I do a lot of mods and usually redo a lot of scripts to get the feel i have to have. But no longer needed. No Vm no more dual boot. Its so cool to have my phone like a Window of a Home screen loaded up and idle, and a simple swipe to left and Kali is running processes and because of my weird projects i do which is centered around car audio. But, now and this brings me back to XDA is several years I have had my eye on Android head units. Well to my surprise right along with Microsoft, Atoto came out with the S8. Its already so awesome. I also failed to mention on the dev build i am on its unexplainable opening up bash terminal as so much of Linux is already preinstalled. And going to the Microsoft app store. Yes Ill install google play store as i install all my favorite Android apps and they just put their shortcut right on my Windows desktop. I hope i didn't intrude here on your post. I'm so excited right now. i hope I can make some friend's on here and if you are into car audio? You may get lucky and I mention to you some of the awesome **** i am still working on and will be working on with my new laptop, and LgV50 and atoto s8 head unit 10.6 i think all intergraded together as i spend tons of my life doing so much work for absolute no other reason but to say damn this or that actually worked the past 6 months actually paid off for that few seconds of me saying that's some cool ****!!!! and my wife rolling her eyes saying all that cursing and 2 hours of sleep at night and missing events all so you could crank your ****ing truck from your laptop, head unit or phone???? Or all that **** just so you now have a fully functional bulldog programmer working from your head unit but no bulldog all that because you can actually unlock any locked programmer and don't matter what the device was previously for say for a Honda now you set it up for a diesel ? or my very favorite one and I know Im bragging or this post will probably be deleted by OP, Are you ready for this? Ok last one, My wife saying all those months hard work cursing 2 hour sleeping at nights just so you could download Rockford Fosgate's Firmware for there DSP but not actually own a DSP but have it fully functional from my again, my laptop, my head unit , and phone but without a lot of the DAC parameters and on hifi DAC rebassed music flac 320 32bit the spectrum display I had to cut down to a 16 Band instead of the 232 Band. uhmmm I hope I don't sound like a wired up freak. I apologize in advance for the typing of a book here and ill delete if OP is upset with me. But its all really related to your topics, right? ok also a very informative post by OP. So after reading through it about halfway I can tell your intelligence by how your speaking. I actually wish i was about to make a post like you with all the typing looking great and your speaking allows the people like me to be able to understand it and learn. SO like now im all over the place, I have not shared or redistributed anything i have downloaded and worked on to a stable running version and same with the proprietary drivers and the many modules added to the kernel and recompiled that are owned by companies I did or did not mention. So the thing about is, when i used different open source tools to take a peek at different devices and Lord you don't even know, none of the vehicle parameters and tunes from stock to performance was encrypted in any way at all. So having tunes for several programmers and hundreds of stock and custom tunes was as simple as a copy and paste. Bulldog years ago actually called me out when I had twitter offering unlocking of any device and reprogramed to what you desire for 50 bucks because they was charging 200. idk about now but all your big name companies that want usually around 2 thousand bucks for the little box 2gig sd card and very slow serial device still have to mention in the system about the Gnu/Linux source code and redistribute, You mentioned about package managing . I use to do apt install via terminal and still do at times. But, in the beginning one of my needs some things i preferred only available in Ubuntu and same with Debian. You can use Synaptic to have the best of both worlds by authoring in some lines I think in the etc folder and . source files. This lets you pick what you want from either system and you know basic changing of permissions etc you good. But me personally I hated arch. So much I probably only used it for a few days. So Nvida stated years ago that Linux will never have the support Windows has. Because on YouTube a similar Linus was giving in a group. One girl asked him what he thought about Nvidia not offering much at all, well at the time it was unannounced they wasn't going to. And the response and Linus face blood red.OMG freaking epic. Ok im sorry im shutting up I have autism well im on the lineand my wife is not here to stip me i think so thank you for the post take care
