I use a Xiaomi phone, it has this annoying "Security" app that gets everytime I'm installing or updating an app to pass a "security scan" and show me an add. F-Droid downloads updates on start, but then I just get this message "App update is ready to install" and then I have to manually install each update.
Any idea on how to bypass this app? I have partially debloated my phone using some ADB debloater but I'm worried my OS will break if I remove this "Security" app.
Also don't know if I'll also need to keep installing each update individually even after deleting it.
I also noticed that I haven't given permissions for "modifying system settings" to F-Droid.
Why coding yourself a corporate practice that encouraged addition? Why you felt we were lacking that stuff?
The chatbot gave wildly different answers to the same math problem, with one version of ChatGPT even refusing to show how it came to its conclusion.
KDE, but it seems I soft-broke it as well while installing after regular Gnome Ubuntu. Now I'm installing Kubuntu on my laptop and will try out any other distro on a new SSD I bought for my desktop.
As others pointed, doing stuff in a rush and blindly using guides and pasting commands makes everything more difficult. No matter how robust or good the UI is lol
Wonder if there's any alternative to plastic sponges that are more durable
Speaking of myself, I think I'm just too lazy / have too little time and energy to slowly troubleshoot everything.
I am always on a rush, and when you're on a rush and something like apt not working happens, you just implement some workaround that maybe makes everything worse or is not a full solution. As others pointed, putting commands you see on Google without fully understanding them is a bad idea, and a lot of my "Linux troubleshooting experience" is "trying a bunch of Google solutions in a trial and error fashion".
For example a base issue I have with my current installation is that I firstly installed Ubuntu and then installed KDE, instead of installing Kubuntu, and the installation is kind of glitchy. I never put the time to fix the issues that maybe were not that difficult to fix, but they were unimportant and it just worked. That stuff slowly accumulates over time until the fresh install with that characteristic "this time will be different" feel lol
Don't get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I'm working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end up feeling very limited. There's always software I can't use properly (and not just Windows stuff), some stuff badly configured with weird error messages... last time I was not able to even use the apt command. Sometimes I lack time and energy for troubleshooting and sometimes I just fail at it.
I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again. Maybe Linux is not good for beginners working full time? Maybe we should do something like that Cisco course that teaches you the basic commands?
Una pena que creo que Mastodon y Lemmy no son muy compatibles, o al menos aun no he podido conectarme con nada de eso
