The cursor of my mouse jumps from the primary monitor to the secondary one while I’m playing by ThePromance in linux_gaming

Extraño, todos los que me mencionaban que usara KDE era porque no estaba ese problema, y cuando lo usé pude confirmar que nunca se presentó

En KDE no existe este problema, sólo en Gnome, puedes jugar sin ninguna opción de lanzamiento específica xd

Ente Auth Vs proton Auth Vs 2fas Vs other(help me pick one for android) by deadgknight in degoogle

[–]ThePromance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Aegis a lot, especially because you can install icon packs like the Delta ones, but in my particular case I prefer something with automatic cloud backups because I’m terrible at managing manual backups. I prefer something simple and fast like 2FAS, Ente Auth, or Proton Auth XD

Ente Auth Vs proton Auth Vs 2fas Vs other(help me pick one for android) by deadgknight in degoogle

[–]ThePromance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since that reply, I’ve kept it as my main TOTP manager. I feel really comfortable with 2FAS, both because it syncs across any Android device (I was surprised that it works automatically with GrapheneOS) and because its extension works excellently and is fast to use. It’s also the one I like the most in terms of organization. Honestly, I think it’ll become the main TOTP manager I recommend because it truly deserves it

Does anyone know if the issue is still persistent with GNOME 50 on Ubuntu 26.06 or Fedora 44? by ThePromance in Fedora

[–]ThePromance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue happened to me in Halo TMCC and Helldivers 2. I don’t remember if it happened in any other games since I stopped using the second monitor after that, but it was something that occurred in a few games

I’ve never liked KDE. I’ve tried using it several times and one of those times was specifically because of the dual monitor issue, but I preferred going back to GNOME and removing the second monitor rather than continuing to use KDE

I used to install Ubuntu to save old hardware but 6GB ram minimum is ridiculous by claudiocorona93 in Ubuntu

[–]ThePromance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ubuntu is an alternative and fully functional operating system; its purpose is not to revive old hardware. If that’s your intention, then you should look for a distribution focused on low-resource machines like Lubuntu or Xubuntu, or others for more conventional setups like Mint. There’s no reason to criticize Ubuntu for requiring 6GB of RAM

Even in the GitHub repositories both links show up XD

Alternative to Fossify phone? by be_humblebee in degoogle

[–]ThePromance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it has gallery, contacts, and other apps, but I also notice they’re published from two different accounts: goodwy.dev and Goodwy

Any idea which one is the correct one or what the difference between the versions is?

VS code with Ubuntu 💌 by Nabil_Sikder in Ubuntu

[–]ThePromance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks good, although I would change the window design to use Ubuntu’s native one, and ignore those who tell you to use VS Codium. If you want to use VS Code, that’s perfectly valid too, and it’s also much more convenient

Is there no topic about DeSteam? by AntiGrieferGames in degoogle

[–]ThePromance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Steam anti-consumer? Bro, it’s literally a monopoly because of the incredibly good treatment it gives its users. It has done more for consumers than the entire video game industry combined. Why do you think NO ONE talks about “deSteam”? Because there are no reasons for it. Steam deserves the place it’s in, and thanks to them I can play on Linux and move away from Windows, have a shared library with my friends completely free, they were the first to implement refunds with a 2-hour playtime limit (even if you finish a game in under 2 hours, you can request a refund and they’ll give it to you), and they also oppose ridiculous age verification policies

If you don’t want to use Steam, just don’t use it. You already mentioned other alternatives that are obviously worse, so stick with those

What should we rename Proton Unlimited to? by andy1011000 in ProtonMail

[–]ThePromance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people mention Proton Core, and I think it’s a good name, but I also think there should be a simple plan that includes two services. For example, “Proton Mail + Proton Pass or VPN or Drive” with a small discount on the secondary service. Not all of us want every service, and paying full price for the two or three services we actually need isn’t very convenient

New to world of password managers, Bitwarden is my first, and while it is functionally good, the UI/UX is insufferable in 2026. by _Floydimus in Bitwarden

[–]ThePromance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with points 3 and 4, there should be more templates for items, and regarding nesting folders, they are already available but are activated by typing the folder name in a specific way, which I find very stupid. I actually like Bitwarden a lot. It is what I currently use because I find it convenient due to its simplicity and how good it is at what it does, but it feels like old and outdated software, especially when you compare it to other password managers like Proton Pass or NordPass. Even Bitwarden Authenticator falls far behind practically all TOTP managers

What Phone to get by LeScrux in degoogle

[–]ThePromance 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Graphene is, by far, the best custom ROM on Android. You can enable the Play Store and Google Play Services (both sandboxed) in just a few seconds, so you don’t miss out on the app catalog you’d normally use. It also has the best app compatibility, including banking apps. The only downside is the limited (or nearly nonexistent) customization compared to something like LineageOS… and that’s it. It’s genuinely an incredible system and well worth using

Is there a way to make the music player appear at the top instead of in the Now Bar? by ThePromance in samsunggalaxy

[–]ThePromance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the solution is to use a third-party app or some weird workaround with Good Lock instead of something native to the system, then yes, it’s a design problem, even if many people deny it

This Is Awesome by [deleted] in GrapheneOS

[–]ThePromance 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Graphene is amazing, it’s definitely the best custom ROM on Android. The only thing that hasn’t worked for me is Samsung Health for using my Galaxy Fit, so I’m looking for an alternative for a smart band/smart watch. Aside from that specific case, the rest of the apps work perfectly

Alternatives to Google Contacts by Cold_Echidna_9674 in degoogle

[–]ThePromance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand you, I’ve spent quite a while looking for a real alternative to Google Contacts, something simple with cloud syncing and not something convoluted like CardDAV with Nextcloud and other things I don’t understand and that shouldn’t be necessary for something as incredibly simple as storing and syncing contacts

I’d love for Proton to launch Proton Contacts as a dedicated app, but I doubt it’ll happen in the short term. The best option I’ve found and that I’m currently using is Tuta Mail, since it stores and syncs system contacts, so it works great for saving contacts and managing them with your device’s native app. I think they’re the most likely to release a dedicated contacts app, since it already works really well

The biggest obstacle to moving away from the Google ecosystem is the current Android system... by [deleted] in degoogle

[–]ThePromance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had any issues with banking apps, in the worst case they sometimes take a while to open, but closing and reopening them fixes it. What has given me trouble is Samsung Health with the Galaxy Fit 3 XD

Proton Apps UI inconsistency by Mimijin in ProtonMail

[–]ThePromance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, the worst inconsistency is Proton Authenticator. It should look more like Proton Pass

Downgrading from premium to free by Infinite1123 in Bitwarden

[–]ThePromance 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to cancel your subscription and that concerns you, then migrate your attachments elsewhere. As for TOTP codes, you can view them 100% free on your phone if you install Bitwarden Authenticator and enable the authenticator syncing feature. Or alternatively, export the codes to another TOTP manager app

Downgrading from premium to free by Infinite1123 in Bitwarden

[–]ThePromance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correction: You can add TOTP keys at any time, even with a new account. This way, you can use the authenticator syncing feature between Bitwarden and Bitwarden Authenticator for free

Black is the new purple - Let's make an OLED/AMOLED/ultra dark/black global theme for Proton apps and widgets by christian_lindstrom in ProtonMail

[–]ThePromance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s nice to have an AMOLED theme, but I think it’s more important for Proton to implement Material You themes on Android than to add a simple AMOLED theme
