You need a google account to download apps from google servers. You are not required to download them from google. And if you don't you don't need a google account.

00s flip phones didn't have app stores so it doesn't even apply.

If you don't want any google apps preinstalled just install an alternative android distro like GrapheneOS.

No retard, its not. Everything is made in china, luxury car-parts are made in china, Commercial jetliner components are made in china, your argument is based on an absurdity. China ships alot of junk made in vietnam and other SEA-countries now too you realise?

Just admit that you have never sat in one, you're too poor to afford one/too stingy about the wrong things. If eating Twinkies was the cheapest way for you to get your daily calorie intake, would you just eat that garbage everyday?

Not to mention, they're not lightweight at all, my Boulies chair was over 80kgs in the box. Retard. You wanna save on a computer chair and get something dirt cheap thats not terrible? camping/outdoor chairs, that's a non-retarded suggestion for you to use next time.

Dumb question:
I’ve got about 10 acres of land I need to survey, looking for a drone with a half decent down facing camera, waypoints, and automatic photo trigger
Would be nice to just deploy it, have it to fly around, take a bunch of photos, and return to base without much effort, basically, got damaged in strong winds or after storms.

Failing that, at least something with a down facing camera and photos with 400 feet of range, curious if there’s any consensus on half decent outdoor drones these days?

It runs easily on any computer I've ever run it on and it doesn't have bloated bullshit animations/transparency/other garbage that people seem to have decided are necessary now (protip: this only slows down the PC).

I will ask a different question. What do you NEED (to be able to control the computer from your UI not jerk off to window minimize animations & file previews) that XFCE doesn't provide?

You can't. Shit can go down so fast not even Bulgaria will have its fastest Internet in Europe.
But if someone has Wi-Fi, you can sniff packets and whatnot. AFAIK, it's called monitor mode and there's a list of chips capable of it.
But seriously, do invest in an offline database. Personal NAS, M-Disks, hell, even printed stuff is better than no stuff at all.

For me, it's Fedora. I don't know why anyone would recommend Mint these days. Fedora has sensible default settings, good built-in security, newer packages, good support, and you can easily replicate the Windows workflow with KDE. And if you want a macOS-like experience, there's GNOME.

Best distribution for new users? Yes, I think so.

Arch users can't really think ever, can they? Your distro does not make anything other can't. You have no gui installer, no usable ootb images, only support x86_64, official repo is so fucking lame the 30 retarded dudes in charge of the project just said "users should make the work instead" with shitty package signing servers that pretty much never truly worked until Valve got fed up and gave them one. You can build your distro from the ground with Fedora, SUSE, Gentoo, NixOS, Guix, Debian. They all have minimal images, ready ootb images, multi architecture support, and AUR like options. Arch is nothing special, just a SIMPLE distro for anyone wanting to flex while running an script. This was top notch 15 years ago, now is a nuisance, operating systems are tools meant to let users do X thing the sooner as possible, not every linux user should be an operating system enthusiast because there's people with lives.

>>107608847
rpm distros are very alike, however, SUSE Tumbleweed might be the sweet spot for updating environment along packages, Fedora tends to wait more before updating environment versions, or they just get updated on new releases. Sames as with SUSE Leap.
