Yes. My Zenfone 8 is “small” but I want it even more compact. My old Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is the perfect size!

Another big fan of Darknet Diaries.
Ever since Michael Bazzle of Privacy, Security & OSINT stopped doing the podcasts, I’m still trying to find a replacement. Am listening to The Lockdown - Practical Privacy and Security in the mean time.
Also listen to Linux Game Cast.
I hane lost the use of so many Android app I paid for because they were delistd from the Play store. Not happy.
I now resort to creating a backup apk for my most usd ones. I also create a backup befors updating. Never know if an update will break something or even worse, remove a feature.
I have it on my Asus Zenfone 8 too. Sad to tink that my next phone upgrade will likely not have the 3.5mm port anymore. :(
Good point but people have been driving to and from the outback long before the arrival of the connected car. Except the car, nothing else has changed much and it’s still possible to drive around with a “basic” car. Besides, there’s always the mobile phone if connectivity is required.
Consider the possibility that they are selling the data collected from you for a profit and using part of those profits to pay for the cellular service.
If Apple had kept the 3.5mm port, we’d all probably still be having it on our phones and not have to deal with flimsy adapters.
Bazzite has been smooth sailing about 80% of the time for me. The rest of the 20% were due to either plasma or runner crashing, requiring me to perform a hard reset using the power button. And then it magically atarted working again. I’ve also had my home folder become read-only on occasion. Very strange.
And most other manufacturers too for following the stupid decision to remove the headphone jack.

Wow, what a very detailed response. I’ve only been using Bazzite for about two weeks and still learning about it. Now I have a slightly better understanding of how it all works. 👍
I previously used Nobara but recently switched to Bazzite. I think you can give either of these two a shot. I recall Nobara includes a one button install of nvidia drivers. Not too sure about Bazzite since I have an AMD gpu.
Both these distros are gaming focused. Only difference is Nobara is a traditional distro while Bazzite is atomic desktop based.
We need a Command & Conquer Remastered style treatment.
Am using a Zenfone 8 with a jack. As for future upgrade, still unsure. My top priority would be the size - has to be the same or preferably smaller than the Zenfone, so that limits my potential options.
I was travelling recently and was fortunate to be able to watch a F1 race. The track had a FM broadcast of the commentary in English, and my Zenfone 8 with the built in FM tuner made itself very useful indeed, since the FM tuner only works with wired earphones.
Steam has also done a ton of work making games run on linux via Proton. Not to forget the Steamdeck too.
Noted. I guess used the wrong definition for Bazzite and that confused me. LOL.
Good to know that /etc is writable. I might have to download it and give it a spin. Thanks for clarifying.
Have not tried immutable distros, but I like the idea that the core OS is read-only to prevent a rookie user from messing things up.
Then again, if the core OS is read-only, is it at all possible to modify some system files like fstab files to auto-load drives?
I am intrigued. Presently using Nobara right now, and I’ve been running into strange issues, like the whole system suddenly becoming unwritable and Firefox crashing out of the blue and needing an entire system reboot.
Back in the early days of Win10, an updated messed up my system and I ended up with duplicated icons. Wasn’t happy, but didn’t feel that it was that big of a deal to warrant a full reinstall.
2 years ago I built myself a new desktop and decided to try installing Linux straight away. Haven’t looked back since.
