Actually, I just checked with Wireshark, and no traffic left my PC when I searched for a name of a flatpak app, not until I actually opened Discover to look for the app. Discover has a local cache and KRunner uses that for app searches.

I use Revolut with no issue on GrapheneOS. Maybe things changed.

Yeah, but at least in KDE, when I search for something that it can’t find on the PC, it gives you the option to “search blah with duckduckgo in firefox” instead of starting a web search immediately, waiting for it to finish, and showing the results in your start menu in front of whatever you actually wanted to find on your PC. It’s the fallback and not the default.

It’s not. It depends on how open the phone is and if it relies on exploits to root or if there’s an official method. Pixels are open and you can just install whatever you want on them, with open source drivers (although Google is trying to stop that too). So to install Graphene, for instance, it’s literally a web app with one or two clicks to do it automatically.

Fair. Unfortunately, mine don’t.

You can’t use Google Wallet to pay with NFC, they don’t have Miracast, and Chromecast can supposedly work but I haven’t been able to get it to work. Those are the three major hurdles I’ve found, but getting away from Google was a priority so I’ll live without them.

NFC can have other providers other than Google Wallet, but I haven’t found any that I find trustworthy enough yet. Supposedly the EU is making an alternative.

Those are called Progressive Web Apps (PWA). You can use firefox to add the website to your desktop like this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Installing

Once you do, when you open the app it should have just the website without the tabs and everything else firefox does.

Significantly better than several hours od most of the internet being down.

Yeah, if you’ve got two EFI partitions on separate disks and one is for Windows while the other is for your Linux, you’re good. Windows likes to reinstall its bootloader which sets it as the default and sometimes overwrites the Linux bootloader, but not if it’s on a different EFI partition, then it doesn’t “know” about it.

game-performance is CachyOS’ script to set the power profile to performance while the game is running and restore it to what it was before when the game closes.

Edit: Also, here’s the Arch wiki page for prime-run.

My GF has an iphone, and on KDE I can just connect it via USB and it’s visible in the file manager.

There’s also this.

Because Linux is a monolithic kernel. What that means, essentially, is that it contains all the drivers and everything else, unlike windows which uses a microkernel. The advantages of a monolithic kernel are, for instance, that you don’t need to install drivers manually, and you don’t have to depend on potentially malicious websites to host those drivers. Additionally, if any kernel ABI changes for one reason or the other, say there is a refactor to fix a vulnerability, whoever does the refactor would also refactor the driver code because that is in the kernel, and the kernel won’t compile if there’s an error in the drivers. This way, the driver is always updated, and you don’t have a situation where you have really old drivers that no longer work.

The disadvantage of a monolithic kernel is that there’s a lot more code that you have to take care of, and the kernel has a lot more responsibilities as opposed to a microkernel.

Yeah but GTK
