  • I’ve degoogled apart from:

    • Google photos - I have shared storage with my family and I really can’t be doing with sorting out the mess when I cancel my 200GB subscription. I do however back all photos up to my server.
    • Pixel phone - I try not use any Google apps/search but the phones are updated regularly and are reasonably good value for money. Other brands have the Google tracking with the OEM tracking on top.


  • I installed Linux mint on my Framework laptop because fuck windows.

    I had to move back to windows, it didn’t feel ready and couldn’t get it working easily how I like.

    Heres some of the issues(any pointers would be great)

    • 120hz just wouldn’t work on one monitor, it detects it but won’t apply. (Works fine in W10 and Ubuntu).
    • Scrolling on the touchpad is unbelievably fast and makes it unusable.
    • Fractional scaling is a joke, my laptop screen needs around 125% but everything becomes a blurred mess.
    • The mouse is a bit jittery and can’t explain why (usually using a Logitech gaming mouse when docked).
    • Governor cannot be different on battery and AC. Defaults to max turbo.
    • Fingerprint sensor doesn’t work (works fine on Ubuntu and w10).
    • Unsure how to get hardware accelerated disk encryption working?

    Some stuff is better but a combination of these just brings me back to windows. It just loads and works?
