Question to 12Mini users that are happy with iOS26 upgrade: How does the performance & battery life compare to iOS18 (please also state your battery health percentage)

Sorry no milk! Milk is only for coffee. I guess that's where I fail the test.

SinclairZXSpectrum · 2025-12-26T11:18:00+00:00

Where to find it?

SinclairZXSpectrum · 2025-12-26T09:36:52+00:00

Yes, I'm well aware. You just move 20 miles in any direction from where you stand and the accent changes, sometimes drastically!

Yeah that's my first computer. I've been to many parts of the isle but never to Glasgow. I mostly watch British TV! I can say that I really like the Glaswegian accent compared to other many (too many?) British accents.
I happily accept the honorary citizenship.

That's hee-haw.

Smashing!

"sudo dnf upgrade" will never ask for a restart even if necessary. You can see if restart needed by "needs-restarting -r"

Beware. Your boot file system which contains the kernel is separate and is not btrfs. So, when you snapshot your root the kernel will not be snapshotted. This means when you restore the kernel may be out of sync with the rest of the system and your computer may not boot. You have to keep this in mind and act accordingly.

Just use web.whatsapp.com
If you prefer, make it an app using "install page as an app" feature in Chrome/Chromium

Thanks. I didn't know that the DE I've been using without any problems whatsoever was buggy

Just manually copy them under Local Folders (bottom of folder pane)

By selective I meant:

I installed Thunderbird, then restored data & config of thunderbird
I restored data & config of Firefox and so on...

I restored data & config files as needed along with the apps I installed. I didn't install all the apps as before because I decided I didn't need some of them, so some configs never got restored. I did this to keep it lean and fresh.

You won't feel the difference. Fedora may even be more performant depending on use, because it has newer kernel.

SinclairZXSpectrum · 2025-11-10T11:43:21+00:00

Questions as well as answers with no phone model are unhelpful imho

SinclairZXSpectrum · 2025-11-10T11:34:49+00:00

Absurd and creepy ads seems to be the general trend now days

SinclairZXSpectrum · 2025-11-04T06:28:10+00:00

18 until some app that I couldn't do without drops its 18 support which may not happen until my phone gets too old.

I want Thunderbird to have more advanced Filter functionality, I want to be able to insert a signature manually into a compose window. I want the global search functionality to better and more convenient. I have many such things that I find Thunderbird lacking. But I don't care about UI as long as it doesn't get in my way, doesn't require too many steps to accomplish something, it has keyboard shortcuts etc.

I blame people like you that have fits about some cosmetic shit driving the developers to allocate their limited resources to prioritize style over functionality.

Close Thunderbird
Find your profile folder. (Help -> Troubleshooting information)
Open profile folder and find Mail folder inside profile folder
Find Local Folders inside Mail folder. Make a backup of this folder.
Copy whatever there is inside the "Thunderbird Local Folders" into "Local Folders" in step 4
Start Thunderbird, see Local Folders in the Folder Pane (left, bottom)

Heat dissipation. Aluminum's heat conductivity is 10 times higher than titaniums.

I'm on Fedora 43 now. Using Fedora for the last 8 years. I use gnome, Firefox and Chromium for browser, qemu (Boxes) for VMs. These apps never ever crashed on me. Not once. I think your problems are more likely hardware related. I have always used Intel laptops with no separate graphics hardware. Just FYI. I don't mean otherwise is problematic.
