Foot is the fastest and I use it as default. Second is Kitty because it uses GPU acceleration.

New Advertisement and Internet connection permissions for Simple SMS Messenger on Google Play Store... by tom42 in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

I agree that F-Droid is great!

What I usually do is to buy the pro version on Google Play and install it later on F-Droid.

On the other hand I don't see anything wrong for non tech people to install FOSS apps from the Play Store. The apps are still FOSS

Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now? by tom42 in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] tom42@beehaw.org 2 points 9 months ago

Startet using Linux in 1999. Then I did a lot of distro hopping:

  • Redhat
  • Suse Linux
  • Gentoo
  • Sabayon Linux
  • Debian
  • Kdenlive
  • Arch
  • Ubuntu Studio
  • Fedora
  • Fedora Silverblue
  • since 2017 NixOS

NixOS feels very contemporary and will stay a while. It is very advanced and usable in many diverse environments. In the past I did learn a lot installing and maintaining Debian and Arch – which has a great community.

What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora? by tom42 in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Ich wünschte, die grüne Jugend hätte was zu sagen.

Im Ernst: Die Schlagzeile ist mir zu reißerisch und unterstützt das Bilden von Vorurteilen.

minor PSA: we have a Spirituality community now by tom42 in c/support@beehaw.org

Was miss reading "we are a Spirituality community now" and thought that this is very unexpected.

But to have c/spirituality as a community here is very welcome.
