  • Well the best thing about it is that she wouldn’t even touch linux before this. She’s primarily a mac user. But after I dragged her to see my desktop modifications, after 10 eye rolls, she said she could do much better job than me.

    Hours later she was still at it, hairs scattered, baffled looking… saying how could someone live with so many choices lol.

    The good thing out of this was that now she’s starting to see the point of linux after all these years.










  • There are so many. By usage however:

    Smart Audiobook Player: None of the apps I tried had all the features in one, like reading my complex audiobooks folder structure and auto grouping the books based on that. Timer to pause audiobook that is automatically reset by moving the phone.

    Maps: No foss solutions work better where I live than GMaps

    YTMusic: So this is a tough one to beat because of the nature of the platform itself.

    Notes: I am looking for a P2P syncable note app that can also have a web interface or atleast a Linux version of the App. Allows drawing your notes on an android phone or tablet using stylus, and other usual features. Can also use cloud storage as a backup or sync source. I know this one is a really tall order.


  • While others have answered your question, I just wanted to go on a tangent and add to some of the same frustration that you felt.

    I hate hand holding in this game. I feel like missions trap you into playing a certain way. You have to treat the missions like they are an interactive movie experience. But otherwise, the open world exploration is fun.

    For future, If you really like freedom but also need some goals and story and not just a sandbox, I would recommend trying either legend of zelda botw or totk. I think you can emulate BOTW on steamdeck.

    If you can take some punishment then Elden Ring is also a great choice.

    I hope that you can enjoy this game though.
