You’re welcome!

Well, you can say that is an experience.

By the way, this won’t help for your current case but I suggest to track this page for your possible future phones. I know I never gonna buy Xiaomi again.

Sorry about this. It happened to me with a Huawei phone in the past. I wanted to unlock its bootloader but their server was shut down and it was not possible anymore. Since that day, the first thing I do with a phone is unlocking its bootloader even though there isn’t a ROM to install yet.

Well, they already made it very hard. Their account requires a phone number. You have to use their community app to appeal for an unlock request, and it only works at a certain time on a day. If it didn’t work at the first try, you have to wait for 10 days (this part could be different, 7 or 14 don’t exactly remember). Also. it never works at your first try anyway. They limited the unlock count per account, 3 per year, then they dropped it to 1 per year. Last time I heard it was impossible to unlock older devices because they shut down their server. So the very restricted version of unlocking appeal only works for HyperOS versions I think, so if you have MIUI it’s not possible anymore.

As far as I know Xiaomi stopped letting unlock the bootloader even for older devices, so you’re out of luck I’m afraid.

Mostly rutracker + jpopsuki.

The bot couldn’t even put the link in the correct place lol

I used bspwm for years after using i3wm. It was exactly how I wanted things. If you’re staying on Xorg, bspwm is great. Nowadays I find Niri more streamlined though.

I see. It seems river changed a lot since last time I used it. Now I’m intrigued, it adopts the old ways. Maybe I should check it again because I haven’t seen a lighter WM/compositor for Wayland yet.

I used river for quite some time when I moved over to Wayland from bspwm. I still find it great for configuring from scratch.

No idea what are beansprout and rhine though.

Sometimes both. I recently started using an old Macbook with Void, which they have notorious broadcom-wl, so I searched a lot and a got a micro network adapter. It was actually quite hard to find with a working driver because Realtek. Anyway this one I found seemed to had a dkms driver on Void repo, so I went with that.

The dkms driver gives bunch of errors for some reason. I didn’t have time to debug it and just compiled from Github. Naturally I have to compile it every kernel update. I probably can add a hook for it but haven’t done that yet because lazy.

Edit: Added a kernel hook. It’s not harder than writing this comment. :)

If I’m gonna learn hieroglyphics, I’d start with the Egyptian one.

It actually happens naturally, or it should at least. So don’t mind anyone. Distrohop until you find yourself settled.

You seem to know enough distros. If none of them exactly clicked with you perfectly, continue your search.

I stayed on Arch-based for more than 10 years and it was suppose to be temporary for me as I was keep saying that to myself. In reality I was settled. So, don’t mind others, find it yourself. It will happen sooner ot later.

P.S.

Void is good.

Maybe MX Linux with Fluxbox?

Did Ubisoft actually remove Denuvo from a game or is this some cracked version?

I’m not addicted, I’m doing that for 20 years and I can quit whenever I want.

Since when rooting counts as a new OS?

Can you unlock the bootloader? No? Then you cannot install a new OS.

By the way, why cannot we see them as a list?

Edit: It seems that website is for webOS only.

Every one of them on the market has a vendor-locked bootloader, so the answer is no. Best you can do is to use a mini PC or a RaspberryPi with Linux on it (there are alternative interfaces for TV).

You can also go with custom Android boxes that you can install ROMs.

So basically the best you can do is to use the smart TV as a monitor. Don’t let them connect to internet.

Eh, I guess I could’ve said bad Far Cry. The story was ok. I hate drugginess/pscyhedelic parts of them starting with FC3.

By the way, I actually liked the main story of FC6 but the game was generally so bad, it was unbearable.

IMO it’s not even worth playing for free. I cannot believe they made it so big yet so boring and is a hassle to play, far from enjoyable.

I gave it a chance twice but nope, never gonna bother again. Even Far Cry 5 was better which was a bad game too.
