  • I really enjoy Tumbleweed. I’ve been using it for about 18 months now without issue. One thing to note though is that TW only packages production release Nvidia drivers. This means you will not have the 555 or 560 drivers that make Wayland usable by default. You can always install the latest drivers with the run file provided by Nvidia. Some people also use the CUDA repo to get the newer drivers. However, I’d think both of these options may be the type of tinkering you are trying to avoid.

    Overall I think TW is a great distro but it may be a bit more setup for Nvidia gaming on Wayland than you are looking for. If you’re down with doing a little tinkering or gaming on X give it a shot. You can always roll back if something gets messed up.
















  • I’ve had my Galaxy zflip 3 for about 2 years now. Lots of comments here are saying they are too fragile or poorly made but that has not been my experience:

    • the battery is fine
    • the screen hasn’t scratched
    • it flips open fine with a one handed flick of the wrist
    • I’ve dropped it several times without damage
    • it has been used in the rain and snow
    • I’ve replaced the screen protector once myself due to it peeling at the fold. Having to change screen protectors happens on every phone I’ve owned due to peeling somewhere
    • I can drop it in my pocket folded without worrying about keys, coins, or whatever else scratching up the screen
    • being able to use the phone as it’s own tripod is nice for photos
    • flipping it shut to end phonecalls is satisfying
    • price is about the same as any other new Samsung phone (I got mine close to free trading in a Galaxy s10e)

    The new flip 5 looks really nice with the bigger cover screen but I don’t plan to upgrade anytime soon since this phone is working well for me.
