  • yes i did read it. the original name had pretty good recognition among linux nerds already, it’s kinda long but usually shortened as pmOS so i don’t see how problematic that is.

    and the new name just seems too generic/unmemorable… imagine you hear “postmarketOS running on Galaxy S10” and you instantly know its some alternate OS ported to that phone unlike “Nura on Galaxy S10”. It doesn’t even have “OS” in the name…

  • T490. i personally had issues with dell laptops a few times. (hinge problem, coating on palmrest/trackpad peeling) also, i don’t like dell laptops’ keyboard layout but this is just personal preference.

    and 8gb more ram for $60 seems decent in todays prices. (afaik it’s soldered so not even upgradable?)

  • no, it’s more about that i don’t want a separate linux installation on my freebsd server, all with its meaningless attack surfaces and such. i want something lightweight, and i specifically mentioned immich isn’t what i want in the OP. yet you folks are all downvoting and trying to persuade me to try that. no, i’m not using that.

    after hearing it a few times i’ve tried it before and it’s not what i want. even ignoring the server part i hate that clunky google photos ripoff web interface.
