[Linux] NullCode:
I don't like Zorin as a beginner distro too much because then the user won't learn anything new about linux (the UI is 80% like Windows if I'm not mistaken)

I started with Linux Mint as my first distro, and all I can say is it pushed me out of my comfort zone enough to Google and learn more new things, by not being too daunting {for example: arch/gentoo (I use arch btw)}

But of course, everyone has their own opinions. This is just my opinion
[Linux] NullCode:
Also quick tidbit: NEVER start with Manjaro as your first distro (if you intend on starting with it)

Why? Because of its hyper unstable nature and you gotta fix some bugs by hand (which is not fun if you're a beginner)

[Fun fact: My manjaro install broke exactly 5 days after installation]
[Linux] EvilRubberDuck:
I'm running Ubuntu 21.04 on a desktop and I have a laptop that I dual boot Ubuntu 20.10 / Win10. I built the desktop in January year of the dumpster fire. The laptop is on its last legs and sometimes takes some tinkering to get to start. I ran Ubuntu Studio for a year or two. I only keep Win10 running for things that I'd rather not try using with Windows Is Not Emulated. If I ever make the switch to BitWig I might ditch Windows altogether. I liked Ubuntu Studio for what it offered but often felt it offered too much and quickly got complicated for a somewhat novice to intermediate user like myself. I always thought it was cool that Android uses a Linux kernel if I'm not mistaken.
[Linux] Otus9051:
Manjaro is probably the worst Arch Based Distro. If I needed Arch Based distro, I would go either ArchCraft or Garuda
[Linux] Tajil:
Thats right bro, every human have their own opinions.

Linuxmint & Zorin OS famous for its interface similarity with Windows 7 & 10 like. In some cases, this is one of the Power "Selling" for these Distro.

In my own case here, I introduced the Zorin & Linuxmint, the result is Good. The interface (UI) has given a certain degree of impact for the new commer to try it eagerly. Till now, they still stick with Zorin and of course Win7 & 10.

I myself, is not a zorin or linuxmint user though.
[Linux] HipKat:
My first install last year was fine, until I hadn't logged in for a few months and it wouldn't boot. I've had it reinstalled for about 6 months without issues on my Desktop and an old Mini Laptop
[Linux] VD171:
I am a Fedora Linux user more than 10 years.

I don't like gnome or kde, but I like LXDE.

My first Fedora was version 16 and today I am on Fedora version 34.

Fedora is a mix of stable with beta. Or just stable beta as some people say.

I am on Android for just only 8 years.

My first was Android 4.4.2, Android 5.1, Android 6.0, Android 8.1, Android 9.0, Android 10 and today I am on Android 11.

Linux is my life ♥️
[Linux] BHD@RN:
yes, manjaro has some stability issue and random crashes but with manjaro KDE which i am using for about a month it's good

main reason for me to recommend Manjaro KDE to beginners is to give them a first hand experience of best Plasma KDE and believe me it's good and stable for general use.

but, anyway for laptop user's i would recommend pop os. it is such a beauty with power.
[Linux] NepoRood:
I started with Ubuntu, then moved to Linux Mint. I fell in love with the Cinnamon DE, I've been running Manjaro (Cinnamon Community Edition) the last couple years though, and I really like it. I haven't had any issues with it.

Another note, when it comes to ROM building, Arch provides the fastest build environment. Was like 30% faster in my box versus Linux Mint. I've never used Fedora or CentOS, but I've heard they are good too.
[Linux] Crrrr:
Tried Zorin for about 2 weeks, now I am on Linux Mint. I am amazed how user friendly it is and that I didn't have any bugs in almost 6 months. I also think I liked more the Windows 7 feel and simplicity and Mint seems to feel that way a bit. For a while, I will be staying in the Debian branch.

As to Ubuntu, it is a great distro, but I think it rather looks great on touch devices. As I was unable to install Ubuntu Touch on my tablet, I used a launcher in Android to recreate its look.

Oh, and with regards to why: out of curiosity and accidental circumstance.
[Linux] ZaphodBeetle:
I have always gone with Debian based distros like Ubuntu. I always wanted to try Fedora and the RPM package manager. I installed it once. It seems like all the good government jobs use RedHat as there are certifications you can get (at least there were 5 years ago) that could land you a job. Also, Perl or Python, Vim or Emacs?
[Linux] VD171:
I love Fedora and Debian.

I use Fedora at home, but I use Debian on all my servers.

Debian is really more stable and you can keep it for years.

Fedora has more updated packages, so you can try new stable things.

Well, certainly Perl, Nano for terminal and SublimeText for gui ♥️
[Linux] ZaphodBeetle:
Sublime Text is my absolute favorite. I never quite got the hang of scripting but I didn't put enough effort into it. I battled with grep and regular expressions when I was in school. Also, I failed my Assembly Language class. And when the gave me a decent Linear Algebra online class the very first lecture I was scared off because it started with a problem that I couldn't comprehend. Never quite got the hang of the upper division online classes. Should have stuck with it though. When I get a stable house and a new laptop I am going to try my hand at Fedora and Perl. Thanks for the inspiration!
[Linux] Tajil:
bro, please also try alternatives to sublime.

on my case here, we are not always enforcing what the "Main Streamliner" DO and Use.

This is not easy, I know that well, especially at work "Realms".

Goodluck Bro!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jnclt:
Hello everyone,

after gathering a lot of useful information here, I'm lost and just reading isn't enough.

I have bought a new (i.e. unused) xz1c with a carrier branding with no vendor lock and no sim lock, the radio was working as expected, I could make a call.

After unlocking the bootloader and flashing several custom ROMs (thru TWRP) and a few returns to various versions of stock firmware (thru Flashtool & EMMA), I get no service at all, and can't find any more settings to tweak. Does anyone have an idea how I can restore the functionality? Or if all is lost, why?

I don't mind using stock anymore, as long as I can actually make phonecalls..

Current state:

* G8441_47.2.A.11.228_DE.ftf flashed with FlashTool

* IMEI, phone number, IMSI and carrier all recognized and visible (e.g. with *#*#4636#*#*)

* Network "unknown", Service status "Radio off"

* Baseband version: 8998-8998.gen.prodQ-00278-47 (was always like this with all ROMs I think)

Random details which might be relevant:

* the radio was working for a day or two on the 2nd custom ROM (HavocOS v3.11, 1st custom ROM - crDroid v7.6 - had no signal), after I selected the modem config for my carrier in the xperia settings and did the switch in Mobile network settings from 4G to 3G and back to 4G. After a couple of switches to airplane mode it never came back.

* I cannot change "Preferred network type" and "Automatically select network" settings.

* I've tried various custom ROMs (crDroid, Havoc, Lineage) based on Android 10 &11 and stock ROMs with android 8&9, and two SIM cards from two different carriers.

* Although I get "network configuration" message which apparently sets up APNs, I also tried with a manual APN config taken from the carrier's website.

* It always takes a few minutes to recognize the SIM card (i.e. switch from "No SIM card" mode to "No service" mode)

[Realme 2 pro Questions & Answers] barbaric1:
So I updated Magisk and my phone got stuck in bootloop. I could not get into TWRP recovery by any method. Yesterday I accidentally got into the recovery by draining the battery and pressing random combinations of buttons while connecting/disconnecting the phone with the charger. I got into recovery and flashed a custom rom on my phone. Everything worked fine until I rebooted into the recovery where I got stuck into bootloop again. Somehow I got into recovery again by the same above method and now I am wondering if the recovery is corrupted or is there something else wrong with the phone. Do I need to flash the recovery again? Is the firmware corrupted and I need to flash the firmware again? Any idea what could be the issue?

[Windows 11] the_scotsman:
Had a quick play with the leak last week.

Installed the Insider build today on my work laptop. It has 2 partitions, work partition and home partition :)

I installed it on both. Had to get a bit hacky to enable it on WIndows10 Enterprise at work, but it was easy enough.

I dislike the taskbar in the middle. Moved it to the left. No option to make small taskbar icons, so had to regedit that.

Some settings are a little buggy, but they're known issues and being worked on.

A bi early to tell too much at this point, but overall I'm liking the UI changes.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitti2:
When I first signed up for Google Fi the transcript was not working where you could read what someone said on your voicemail.

I tested calling from a different phone number to my Google Fi phone number that i switched from Verizon and I did a test on the voicemail, I got a text exactly what I said.

It's not exactly a visual voicemail app which sucks, I've been reading that Google and Samsung don't get along and visual voicemail is blocked on Samsung devices.

I wonder if when the boot lock is unlockable install a rom, be able to use visual voicemail.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] oscarmaldonado:
Ok guys, the installation went really well, no issues, installed it using TWRP, it does not take you to set it up, it just goes straight to start screen, at the beginning it couldn't update Google apps but finally after I cleared cache, storage and restarted the phone it was able to update everything, overall it feels solid, no lagging and I'm using 2 sims (TMO AND ATT), Everything is running nice and smooth. Thanks Dev and Team for developing CORVUS OS. I'm liking it.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Red Prez16:
Yeah, that's why I said to follow the LineageOS installation guide. I didn't try it with TWRP and I'm glad you did as it tells people if it works correctly from TWRP or not. Also, thank you! It took a lot to get it to work. It took like a week to get it to work. Why? I had no idea what I was doing. LOL! I needed a lot of help to get it to work. I want to give a huge thank you to ggpew2 for helping me out the most. They told me how to do pretty much everything. So I would love if you checked out StatiXOS as well!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Red Prez16:
Nope, it doesn't.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] oscarmaldonado:
Just one more thing, after rom installation don't forget to reinstall TWRP because CORVUS OS replaces it with its own recovery kind of what we used to do with OP7 Pro, I still need to root it, I'm just going to patch the boot image with MAGISK, to me that's the safest way for now. Thanks again.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Red Prez16:
There's an easier way! Also, you're welcome!

Talk to me bud, what's the easier way? I'm still learning, not that easy for a 53 year old😉😉😉

[OnePlus 9 Pro] oscarmaldonado:
TWRP
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Red Prez16:
That's easy then. Download Magisk on your phone, go into TWRP, click "Install," select "Magisk.zip," then swipe to install. Or, you can download it on your computer and then copy it to your phone.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] omarnone:
Stock Opera is way too slow,is anybody using Operamini 4 ? I used to use this on my Tilt phone and 10 time's faster!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] chribruu:
I use both.. yes mini is faster, but lacks a lot of the funcionality of opera mobile.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wpsantennas:
Yes, Stock Diamond Opera is slow and Mini is much faster (I used it as my primary browser on the Touch Dual) but, as previously indicated, has fewer features. I can get over that for alot of browsing but the bigger problem to me is that it is really hard to use Opera Mini's menus on the Diamond as they are so small on the VGA screen (and I chose the option for larger fonts - still too small.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sh500:
Yeah, I agree, I used to use Opera Mini on my Hermes device and it was very quick at page rendering, zoom in/out (re-draws) etc. To be honest, it actually suited my needs in terms of functionally. I also tried Opera Mobile on the Hermes and it is just as slow as on my Diamond.

I've not tried Mini on my Diamond (I don't do much web browsing) but would like to try it out.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] chribruu:
sorry for waking up the thread; but have you tried Jblend 3.3.5 java? I think the font is OK on medium with that one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JRMX:
Opera vs IE

I used Opera Mobile exclusively on my Q9H and much preferred it to IE. However, on my Diamond (US unlocked GSM) I do not like the minimal settings control options available for display. That must be an HTC overlay thing linked to the touch. I cannot get the windows in Opera to render in an easily useable format. With IE all the usual flexibility is there and I get excellent "fit to screen" displays in either landscape or portrait (thanks to Gravitator 2)... and it's not too slow.

I know I can zoom with the touch in Opera, but I am having to constantly fiddle with it to get usable displays. Am I missing something obvious? Maybe I should download a stand alone Opera Mobile and try that?

Meanwhile, I await the work on modding TF3D so I can change the link on the slider page to IE.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Addicteddddd:
yea i really do agree with you, considering the power of the device there is no stable + quick way to browse the internet and it really annoys me :(

This is a bad comparison i know, but i've got an ipod touch and their safari browser is stable + smooth, which is how ours should be.

Its sad to say that even PIE or PIE Plus aren't even as smooth. Maybe opera will get their act together and make it quicker :) after all they have some nice hardware to code it around!
