This. I bet the experience is better if you use it on an enterprise distro they have precompiled drivers for.
With the boom in AI their focus is increasingly on the data center market, so it’s a small miracle (thanks Red Hat and others prodding them) they even have an open driver right now for newer cards (tellingly it’s in a better state for computational use than for rendering pixels on the screen)
Ah. Well, preview and beta are both oh Play Store. Preview is no longer updated now that the new core is deemed stable enough for beta (though some people were upset when initially it didn’t have any add ons)
Haven’t checked if they’re on the ffox fdroid repo though
yeah, I plan to use a PinePhone as my secondary device and start helping port apps to it, but will probably use either Android or iOS for some time.
Alas, my next phone might be an iPhone – though I’ll try to steer clear from Apple services.
I currently use a Pixel as my daily driver, but I want to help contribute to OpenStreetMap and there’s no OSM navigation app with Android Auto support, whereas MAPS.ME is open source, uses OSM and supports CarPlay. I wonder if it’s technically more difficult to get Android Auto support or it’s Google ironically abusing their gatekeeper role here (normally Apple is the one accused of doing that with the App Store).
You probably want Firefox Beta now instead of Preview. There are more whitelisted add-ons now; I also have Privacy Badger enabled and am tempted to also enable Decentraleyes (last time I tried it on desktop it broke some sites).
It also appears that the first post has to tag the community, so tagging on a reply does not work. Good enough though.
