  • I think I started with Mint 13. After hopping around for years I’m now on Debian.

    I recommend Mint to people in general. It’s perfect for most people. We shouldn’t be required to learn about everything in the world.

    I don’t expect anyone to become a mechanic just because they need a car. If that were a requirement then most people would just not get a car. It’s also okay to continue driving and never becoming a mechanic later.







  • DoidFS can use the camera to take photos and record video. It gets stored in the vault instead of your camera roll. This ensures that other apps never get access to the photo/video, even if they have “all-files access”.

    Several other apps does some version of this. If you have tried to export a photo from Signal to your camera roll, you have probably seen this before.

    DroidFS does not ask for camera permission unless you try to use this feature. The app does not need the camera for anything else, so if you don’t allow it to use the camera everything else still works.






  • Yeah, I should be using GrapheneOS. It is the better OS. I absolutely agree. I just don’t like the hardware.

    I want a small (max 71 mm width) phone with lots of local storage, a 3.5mm port, card slot, replaceable battery, optical fingerprint sensor, plastic back, IR port and wireless charging.

    I understand that I can’t get all of this in 2025, but I’m trying to at least get as much as possible. That’s why I’m probably going to end up getting a Fairphone 6 when it comes out and use CalyxOS.
