At the end of the day, Nobara is pretty much a one-man hobby project. Sure, there is a small community around it nowadays but even then, if the main developer decides to drop it, they’d have hard time keeping up. That’s why I’m usually hesitant to recommend these types of distributions and I’d rather recommend something tried and tested with a big community build over many years.

You don’t like having a toggle to turn off AI?

I see a lot of comments saying that it’s a good thing but I feel like people needlessly hate new OS versions because of Windows versions and extrapolate it to Android too. Meanwhile, every new Android release is bringing a lot of great features, improving both privacy and security. Just to mention a few, we got:

-Private space

-better permission control

-Granular permissions for photo/video access in apps

-background apps restrictions

-a toggle to disable 2G

And probably a lot more.

It’s this one:

i have win 11 on one of my laptops and I saw this issue. I do a lot of alt-tabbing and it made me go crazy because almost every time that happened, i’d have to minimize my browser and open it again or the webpage (and the browser ui) wouldn’t render correctly.

For people that actually need to scan a loyalty card, I recommend Catima from F-Droid. Instead of having a bunch of proprietary spyware crap-apps, you have all your cards to scan in one place. No network permission needed.

There is currently an ongoing isssue with Chromium/Electron rendering being almost-unusable with VRR. It was first reported almost a year ago. Microsoft doesn’t care enough to fix it. But hey, at least you get Copilot so it can tell you what registry tweak you have to add to fix it yourself!

I feel like I’m seeing “we finally fixed wifi and bluetooth on pixel devices” every other month.

we built Shield for ourselves

Obviously. Had they built it for consumers, they’d stop supporting it after a year or two.

Not giving Google ad money would be a good reason, I think.

For me it’s pretty simple:
-older hardware/no need for up to date packages - Debian
-new hardware, needs up-to-date software - Arch
And that’s it. Though obviously, you can also use flatpak if you truly need newer versions of software. Personally I have arch on my gaming PC + Debian on my multimedia-consumption laptop.
