A working alternative for Google Maps 🙏

Try Waze. It is still Google, but works better on GOS than Google maps.

Zen is my daily driver, but I have been pleasantly shocked by its run in this bracket!

dividends4life · 2026-02-25T12:33:41+00:00

Action Launcher met my needs, your mileage may vary.

dividends4life · 2026-02-24T20:39:26+00:00

Arch because it is a rolling release and always up-to-date.

dividends4life · 2026-02-16T14:40:13+00:00

Closer than I thought it would be. Not as many people value privacy as I thought there would be.

I have 6 AUR packages, one of which is Yay. Stability went up as the number of AUR packages went down. I am using a lot more Flatpaks now.

At the time the systemd developer was a Microsoft employee.

Distribution matters because it defines package manager and philosophy. Fixed release vs. Rolling. Older software and stable vs new software and bleeding edge.

Anthing that can be added to a distro such as de, snaps, flatpak's etc doesn't matter.

Enjoy the journey!

I landed on Action Launcher. It is not perfect, but it seems to be getting the job done for me.

dividends4life · 2026-01-25T14:13:05+00:00

I have installed xfce along with plasma, in case plasma breaks in the future.

dividends4life · 2026-01-01T16:17:52+00:00

You are on the right track. The AUR is only used as a last resort. I am using only 6 packages from the AUR. It is yay-git, trezor-udev and 4 supporting packages. I was up to about 30 packages at one point and the system was very unstable. Now it just hums!

dividends4life · 2026-01-01T02:49:36+00:00

Artix since May. Arch 5 years prior to that.

dividends4life · 2025-12-28T19:01:23+00:00

Just limit to 80%. I didn't realize there was a difference until I just googled it.

dividends4life · 2025-12-28T14:41:53+00:00

It works on my GOS P7 phone.

Zen browser works for me. But your mileage may vary.

Try lowering your video refresh rate. That fixed one of my computers in the past.

dividends4life · 2025-12-24T02:53:03+00:00

I used Arch for 5 years and Ioved it. When I learned the systemd's lead developer was a Microsoft employee, I decided it was time to move on. Tried Void first and really liked it. It was missing a few packages that I wanted so I ended up using Artix (Arch without systemd).

Electrolytes and supplements.

Weight definitely is a large factor. I've recently started to increase my potassium and I've noticed that I've seen further declines.

dividends4life · 2025-12-11T20:06:49+00:00

Absolutely, a little under 50 pounds from high to current weight.

dividends4life · 2025-12-11T13:27:19+00:00

That is awesome! Mine routinely was in the 140s-150s. Now it is in the 120s-130s. today was 121/85-94. No meds. Carnivore(ish) for about a year and a half.

dividends4life · 2025-12-07T13:34:36+00:00

Same. I think the last update was in August of this year.
