Belena Etcher has some issues with "telemetry" that's turned on by default. Which is why I don't recommend it.

I used Rufus quite a bit back on Windows and never had issues burning Windows or Linux ISOs to flash drives with it.

I use Seven Black and Volatile.

I used to have a theme closer to Windows 7 but I decided to deviate since wanted something that looked better in a dark theme than an exact clone of Win7. So I'm currently running Avalon as my icon set.

Apple have already back peddled on their "Liquid Glass" design because people (I assume mostly redditors) were whining about it looking "dated".

So there's a change some talented people in the Linux space could pull it off even better than Apple!

Think I'll still stick with my glossy Win7-era dark mode KDE theme for now though.

New desktop environment being made by the Pop_OS devs.

Just gonna say if you're not happy with the level of customization out of the box for Firefox. You should look into CSS tweaks. Lets you change up a lot about the browser without having to completely switch.

Most CSS tweaks also work on forks as well. I'm personally running LibreWolf + Lepton.

Edit: Should also include to this list of them https://github.com/topics/firefox-tweaks

I grew up in the 2000s and got taught how to read an analog clock in like the first year of school.

I remember me teacher made a clock face on paper with the two arms pinned on. I brought up my parents had a clock with 'lines instead of numbers' and she taught everyone roman numerals on the spot.

What are teachers doing nowadays?

just took it as me calling them stupid (which was a weird bit of gaslighting).

Glad I'm not the only one who notices this. It's not everyone I meet, but I know quite a few people who double down on their inability to do simple tasks or learn a basic skill... I mostly wonder where it started for these people.

Similar situation, had a buddy recently throw out a pair of $300 headphones because the cable broke.

Depends if it gets a dedicated enough fanbase for talented developers to put the work in.

Honestly even though I'm fully invested in desktop/laptop Linux. I kinda don't get the buzz for a fully Linux phone, When de-googled Android exists and is already optimized for phone/touch use.

Only argument I have in favour of it is, it's less dependant on Google.

But outside of that I don't get the hype for running desktop apps (that normally aren't designed for small touchscreens) on a phone.

I was referring mainly to the fan made PC clients like Plutonium for the older Cod titles. and it even works on Linux with recent proton updates.

There's a similar project for BC2 to BF4 but I haven't looked into it much and dunno if it's playable on Linux.

BF4 is still the fps I have the most hours logged in (around 1200 last I checked)

I was on both the Cod and Battlefield trains until BF5 and Advanced Warfare...seems they just kept trying to fix what wasn't broken while leaving long standing issues be.

Lucky most of them games got fan made servers/clients so even when the official servers die people will still be able to play them.

Even not as far back at BF4 we have 3rd party host-able servers.

They're still quite active today with few cheaters because people developed server side anti-cheat plugins to monitor suspicious stats and keep a blacklist of known cheaters and their alt accounts.
