@thelinuxexperiment Haven't looked into it but I am wondering, is it not possible to use the Synology hardware to run a Next Cloud server?

@thelinuxexperiment nice video as per usual 🙌. Like others, I'm interested in your experiment with UBtouch, looking forward to it. You mention there is no open source alternative to Steam. True, but there is a drm-free one (GOG.com), also important for software freedom. And it works well with an open source launcher (heroic). Even though many games are missing, and the games themselves are not OSS either. But yeah, still bound to Steam for many games, did not manage ditching it either.

@thelinuxexperiment Really looking forward to hearing about your Ubuntu Touch trial. My Android smartphone's been agonizing for over a year now, so its funerals will happen very soon... I've been looking for alternatives but haven't made up my mind yet :)

Have you looked into something like Phosh for Linux Smartphones?

Great video, im also trying to rely more on foss software. Its great to see your videos as inspiration.

The banking apps are still a serious bottleneck. If I can’t use my bank account, I’m going to have one normie phone in the drawer just for that.

@thelinuxexperiment That's a really pragmatic approach. Look forward to hearing how things develop. I've just installed postmarketOS on an old phone for similar reasons. Not got as far as the waydroid setup yet but out the box it does most of the things I need.

@thelinuxexperimentIf you live in the uk or iirc the eu, ttfones look interesting. I'd buy this yesterday if it had usa bands. ttfone.com/products/tt990Anyone know if this exists in a different variant I'm all ears.

@thelinuxexperiment I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your switching from iPhone to Ubuntu Touch. For any questions like not working contacts from nextcloud or similar, i believe you can just ask on mastodon with correct #ubports hash or asking on forums.ubports.com/ 🤞#ubuntutouch #mobileLinux

For 2FA: have a look at Aegis Authenticator. Import-export function is included and compatible with many other major authentificator apps. Available on F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid.@thelinuxexperiment

ente auth is also an option if you want to keep passwords and totp separated and I think it’s also possible to sync between devices and it’s open source

Thank you for sharing!

Lutris can be seen as an alternative to Steam. it also supports steam, epic games, EA, GOG.COM

@thelinuxexperiment hey Nick, any news on the Ubuntu Touch for a month video. X

It was one of your most interesting videos ever. A lot of us are probably looking at getting a Linux phone, so your experience is gonna be really enjoyable for us (I hope for you too).As for Steam, I think you should also get some games from GOG just so that Steam doesn't become a huge monopoly. Valve is a good actor for now, but it's good to keep others around too.Keep up the good work!

Is anybody able to daily-drive Ubuntu Touch? The gestures are so buggy, the default browser can barely render webpages, many apps crash and some apps are impossible to navigate backwards.
