The logitech g305 runs on a single rechargable AA for half a year and is probably the only reason I even considered a wireless mouse

I think with infinite time it would probably be possible in theory, but so much of todays technology relies on economies of scale that doing it the same way would not make a lot of sense for a single person.

So A smart person would probably create technology that looks very different from the stuff we are using today

"infinity ... guarantees all possibilities" no, no it does not and that is such a common misunderstanding of infinities its kind of annoying.

I.e. The list of all even numbers is infinite and still doesnt include a single odd number. Real numbers are densely infinite and still dont include the imaginary unit or chocolate cake.

If you had infinite time, you still would probably not be able to learn to fly with just your body and still would die if you stopped breathing.

Currently running fedora, because it is stable, easy to use and just works. Also, gnome is imo the best designed major, full-featured desktop environment that exists out there (even including windows or macos).

You might get a more tailored experience with window managers but im currently to lazy to set that up. I did use dwm for a time though, but it wasnt really flexible enough for me.

That is why lemmy is decentralized, no one can buy every single instance. and even when a corporation buys the codebase of lemmy, another person can come in and create their own platform that is still compatible

Honestly I tried many lemmy apps and most apps are worse than just the mobile website, except for sync which is just slightly better

In my experience most problems with linux are at the intermediate level, i.e. things like setting up university/work vpn, installing games (with wine), getting used to different applications for office stuff. This is all stuff that many people have to do that can be hard to achieve if you only have guides for windows/mac

Im basically exclusively using Firefox on my phone and loading websites is pretty fast, the app just feels less responsive when scrolling compared to chrome/bromite

That really depends on what kind of computer you are using and how fast your internet connection is. Also a desktop computer should be (for most people) as little maintanance work as possible and having long update/install times really stands in the way of that.

I didnt hear a lot about negative experiences with both of those companies, do you have any examples?

Its still amazing how easy it is to use, you can get a desktop environment running in a couple of minutes and apk is insanely fast and easy

Would have probably tried as my main PC distro if NVIDIA drivers would work on it :(

I feel like the design of this fits better with the gnome desktop than gnome system monitor
