I’ve been in the same boat, so i got myself a cheap phone (actually a hand-me-down from my mom in the form of a Redmi 6A lol), flashed lineageos and didn’t install gapps. Basically as dumb as a smartphone gets. Then you get fdroid and aurora store and you’re good to go. However, i use that phone only when i need to focus, so about 5-6 hours a day, so unfortunately i still have a smartphone. So maybe it would be worth it for you to look into that sorta thing, definitely has helped me regain control.

ahh unlucky, well anyways I’ll post back in a couple of weeks with my rendition. Finally i get to play DS games yippee

YOOOO what’s the montor size?? I’ve got a 14 inch 15:10 from AliExpress and this would be the coolest shit to print out! If you could, could you share the file to it?

It’s funny how i never thought of this until i wrote the comment. Was Now i just gotta make an RFID blocking sheet that flips off the back lol

I’ll try it out, thanks!

The only thing I was put off by the linux way was how much setup would need to be done for making the screen vertical. Like if I had to go to desktop mode to rotate the screen every time i wanted to read manga. Whereas here i downloaded two apps, one for screen rotation control (didn’t really experiment with adding gyro for rotation control, dunno if it’s even possible) and one for manga.

Would increasing the text size help with reading? Sometimes I can’t catch details either, but with how high quality the scans and software got you can just zoom in and the 7 inch screen will help with that.

Damn, thanks for the detailed comparison! I’ll have to check it out now

what’s the difference between the two? looks to me they’re very similar.

to be honest i didn’t limit the TDP until recently when reading so I’ll do some testing, so I’ll try it out

match made in heaven honestly, big hand dream

it was indeed on 3 watts except for Android bootup which took a bit more juice.

Mihon thru Waydroid. way less hassle than anything else and android is great for touchscreen

put your credit card in the back of the case hah

best bet is get a phone with default android and delete default apps with ADB

funnily enough I’ve only heard good things about that Apple adapter, so yeah probably

There’s a good mod for it now that replaces the hard drive with an adapter for two SD cards, and it would let you put a shit ton of storage on it. If you’ve got some spare cash and patience I’d definitely recommend it.

that’s very good to hear, I’ll probably try out silverblue with distrobox and that’ll be my end of distrohopping

could you perhaps run them with Distrobox? i was always wondering that.

you get to bind a key to anyting basically

I’d use Arch if only my GPU wouldn’t just die in the middle of a game and I’d have to restart the whole system. So unfortunately im forced to game on Windows

GPU is an RX590 and i can’t for the life of me get it to work on Linux as a whole rn.

Here’s an alternative that’s about 50% less expensive and not a subscription. Personally use it on KISS launcher and it’s basically perfect for my uses
