The old galaxies were really good. I remember s3 being the first experience with a flagship device… it felt really advanced for the time. It sucks that now samsung has implemented knox security or whatever to detect bootloader unlocked devices. That’s the reason why I switched to a Oneplus phone and gave my last samsung to my dad.

I also remember touchwiz being an absolute lag fest, back in the day. Cyanogen was the OG savior !

If you want to install any apps go with Flatpaks for reliability. Since Ubuntu has snaps, install the snap variant of available. Imo Flatpaks have greatly reduced the number of issues like dependency problems for me.

Have you tried any other distro ? I’d recommend any of the universal blue projects or fedora silverblue as it is relatively maintainance free and just like using windows/macos. If you game just go with Bazzite, otherwise try Aurora/Bluefin. In most cases you won’t even have to use the terminal that much, but if you do they have really nice cli tools too.

If you still want to go the traditional approach - Arch based distros can also be very good, ateast you will be able to find answers on the archwiki and try those solutions. It’s not like Ubuntu is bad, it’s kind of janky sometimes and I kind of liked the conveince of finding all that I need within the archwiki. Arch has fast updates, so things will break once in a while… however my experience has been really good with arch for many years now. if you want to try it then go with either EmdavourOS or CachyOS - both are setup quite well out of the box.

TL;DR - try Flatpaks, try low maintenance distros like Bazzite and use it like you normally do.

That’s one elaborative answer. Thank you for typing this all out. It sounds like a pain, but I think it’s worth doing.

All that waiting period to get verified s crazy. Furthermore to view some profiles we need to be in their networking list ? that’s even crazier.

In my experience the only times I’ve had a stable experience was

• when I actually only installed packages I needed i.e using a window manager instead of a DE (and no bloat packages which I’ll eventually lose track of)

• using an atomic distro, my favourite so far has to be bluefin which is part of the Ublue project based on Fedora Silverblue. NixOS is also great but it gives me the urge to pointlessly tinker instead of getting actual stuff done.

In the past I’ve seen flatpaks and containers as bloated and messy solutions which tainted my computer but now that I’ve tried it, It’s actually very convenient.

I’ve always installed a crap ton of packages for gaming which turns into this inevitable mess, but with containers I just use bazzzite-arch and be done with it. It wraps all my gaming packages in one neat container.

I finished Yakuza 7 last year after post game depression of Yakuza 6… Needless to say I was depressed but significantly happier than when I completed Y6.

Is that the one where the main character tries to develop a girl into an ideal heroine for his novel or something along those lines ?

I didn’t completely watch that show, so I’ll check it out some time. Thanks for reminding me tho.

So many good ones here. I’ve watched a few from the ones you mentioned. All of them I pretty much enjoyed a ton.

1. Re Life
2. Bunny girl senpai
3. Sakura-sou no pet na Kanojo
4. Boku no kokoro no yabai yatsu
5. Kimi no nawa

Re life, kmi no nawa and bunny girl senapi gave me depression for a short while back in the day. Boko no Kokoro no yabai yatsu was probably one of the better ones to come out in recent times.

I also think I watched the first 2 episodes of Kaicho wa Maid Sama a long time ago… I almost forgot it existed.

Hiscore girl, tsuki ga kirei and Spice & wolf are in my never ending watch list, thanks for reminding me again. As for gosik, it’s my first time hearing about it… Will check it out tho.

Also please go ahead and comment the experimental ones you mentioned, I think I’ll find something interesting

Also my apologies for not mentioning the ones I already watched in my post.

I’ve not heard about both of them before. I’ll check these out. Thanks

Oh nice. Sounds like it’s the kind of show I’m looking for. Thank you.

Oregairu was really well executed. I really liked it. I kinda feel bad for the second girl with the pink hair ( I think her name was Yuigahama? ).

Oh man I feel old now… Its been what? 4 or 5 years since it got it’s final season anime adaptation huh… I was watching it while it was still airing.

On a completely unrelated note, I think it was last year when I watched an anime called “The terrors in my heart” it was one of the memorable ones I’ve seen as of late. I just remembered it when you mentioned Oregairu for some reason.

From the ones you’ve mentioned, I’ve watched Golden time. It was pretty good.

Ore monogatati and Torodora were in my watchlist for a long time, I almost forgot about them until I read your comment.

Its a Makoto Shinkai movie right? I’ve seen it a few years ago, I liked it.

Hey thanks for all these suggestions. I’ll check out all of them. I’ll add those manga to my reading list.

I used to make time for gaming with my friends every day by sacrificing my sleep. I only realized how much it messed with my health once I started getting a full 8 hours of sleep. Now I mostly play during the weekends.
