I use Linux as my main OS.
I still see that people around me use their phones for almost everything.
The tasks mentioned above make sense on a work computer, but most people leave the work computer at work and use their phones on their free time.
I see where you come from, but mobile phones are much better devices than computers for most of the people:
- always on you
- easier to use
- more "real life" applications (camera, mobile music player etc)
On Lemmy most of the people are desktop enthusiasts running Linux, but it makes sense that other people moved on

Not an Android, but calibre is a good solution if you have a computer at hand
Thank you for this.
The price is indeed the biggest issue. An Xperia 5 V is still 580ā¬ second hand where I live, it's crazy.
Still seems strange, why not just open a new line with the Nothing name? Samsung lines goes from A15 to S22 Ultra within the same brand
I keep hearing about /e/OS, I might give it a try! How is it for the banking apps, does it work as standard Android, or is there any issue?
Earlier this week, the company detailed how the "Google Fit APIs have been deprecated" and that the shutdown is set for June 30, 2025.
Also, for being the manufacturer that makes all the lenses their camera algorithm sucks.
Isn't that on purpose, so that people can adjust their settings themselves?
Thanks for sharing !

Thanks, so same as the 7a when it released.
Damn, I forgot how expensive the a line became
Unfortunately yes.
I'm lucky enough to not have that much issues on my side, but I'm not surprised you are encountering those.

I had a look at the GSM Arena phone finder, and it the choice is getting smaller and smaller every year (only 43 phones from 2023, reviewed by the site, had a jack)
The remaining ones are mostly
- Xiaomi Redmi
- Zenfones
- Sony
- Samsung entry range
So, has everyone switched to Bluetooth / USB-C dongles, or are there still a few people holding to the jack until the very end?

Tried to update the packages this morning, got the following error:

Follows a list of dependency issues.
I am using a mix of packman and opensuse repos, which might be the cause of the issue.
I had a look at this thread (sorry it's Reddit), and the general advice is to wait for a few days for the packman package to be updated. https://old.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/1bo3yix/issues_with_packman_mesa_update/
I'll hold on for now, and see how it goes in a few days
