  • I’m using Dell laptop, they are still supported even the 6 or 7 years old one, with new bios fixing CVE, etc and some of them were even sold with Linux at the time!

    I bought a E5470 (core I5 6th gen) I love it, less than 200$, 8GB of ram, 14" 1080p IPS, 256GB SSD. Full repair manual available, etc.

    I’m running MX Linux on it





  • Average is about 800k, in Montreal it’s about 700k, how can people, especially young people working at less than 20$/h and sometimes partial time, will do to buy a house? Even rental is out of control here. Buying a condo is even worst with monthly fees, 600$+/month is not uncommon, adding to mortgage, adding 400-500$/month for taxes.

    People earn less than 2k/month and have to spent 1200-1500$ on rent.

    Adding 500K-1M immigrants per year will brings workforce to build housing, but where will those people live? And housing price will go up anyway?

    At one point the system will explode?





  • If you want pure android, then a Pixel phone, but if you want to degoogle, no…

    Else you can find very interesting powerful phone like PoCo F4 for instance and replace the ROM with the dozen ones available, check XDA.

    Know that when you unlock bootloader/replace ROM, you will most likely lose the ability to pay with your phone, or play a cat and mouse game with magisk and addon and google Wallet.
