Excellent write up
Thank you
As you are a noob, avoid arch.
It maybe great for your self esteem telling people you are an arch user, but vanilla arch is not a simple distro. it takes a lot of work.
So, unless you have a lot of linux and terminal experience try something else.
If you want to play with an arch based distro there is manjaro.
I have manjaro installed on my old Lenovo T450 for years and it works great.
Alternatively give linux mint XFCE a try. I usually install this for people who are new users of linux.
or I have MX-linux installed on the Mrs laptop. she has the lenovo T470.

I am not surprised it happened in "not that great yarmouth".
My mum and dad retired there in the late 80's
Over 25 years visiting them, and years taking the kids to visit and spend days on the beaches.
I never once saw a black or brown person.
Proper racist white place. Unemployment is high, Only summer seasonal work available.
A classic case of, My life is shit poor, so it must be due to the foreigners stealing the jobs. It must be true, I heard it on GB news and read it in the Daily mail.
Nothing to do with Government policies of course.
The youngsters I spoke to, were frightened of travelling to London, because they believed they would get stabbed by a black person.
The only foreign people I heard of in Norfolk were the cheap labour, Portuguese living and working on farms.
for me

plocate 1.1.23

I feel for you.
training ai on your photo's without even asking. wankers
I have just copied my elderly friends 2000 photos from google photos to my desktop, then deleted all of them from her phone. Had to do it with my browser, they only allow you to delete 30 photos at a time on the phone. tossers.
Installed droid-ify, installed lawnchair, fossify gallery, fossify messages, fossify contacts. perfect.
imported her photos back on to her phone:
Intentionally painful but its done.
bring on ADB, I have deleted everything with a G in it.
first one: I wrote a simple little bash script for these:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.chrome
okgoogle, xgoogle, Gmail, calender, Calendar Sync, videos, googlequicksearchbox, youtube, music, Google Contacts Sync, googleassistant, Google Digital Well Being App, Google Duo, Google Pay, google photos and Google Drive with adb so its doesnt happen again.
This poor women is 84, WTF does she know about modern tech, google are tossers

I would get rid of fairphone rom and install another rom:
unlock your bootloader. easy guide from Fairphone.
then install lineage or E/os custom rom
finally the two warmongers meet
Tony will tell some lies about weapons of mass descruction that the Palestinians have tucked away, and we will dive into the next war, As a precursor to invading Iran.
After all it is 22 years since warmonger Tony ignited the flames of war in the middle east, with his bullshit claims of WMD's.
good ole Tony!
The Chilcot report in 2016 revealed the extent to which Blair manipulated (or even fabricated) evidence and distorted reality in a desperate bid to justify the war.
Smug looking cunt!
I got used typing "sudo service --status-all"
then got used to typing "sudo systemctl list-unit-files --type=service"
now a new one to learn "sudo nitroctl list"
looks simpler
That can only be a good thing for my gnarly arthritis fingers.
I have done this on a few friends phones who cannot afford a new phone, and or, their phone is not supported by lineage, E/os or any other AOSP custom roms.
I install Lawnchair which is not available on F-Droid unless you add the IzzyOnDroid repo. .
I use droid-ify or neostore, both make it easier to add repo's and include lawnchair.
for the debloat:
Adb is the way to go here:
A lot of the google stuff can be removed, the caveat is that google play services and google play store cannot and should not be removed.
you can safely remove: Gmail, Google One, Google Wallet, Google Podcasts, Google News, Google Hangouts, Google AR Core Library, Google Docs, Google Play Movies, Google Music, Google Android Auto, Google Maps, google Chrome as well as facebook. youtube, amazon, ebay, netflix, linkedin, etc,
as well as all the other surveillance, data harvesting bloatware:
com.amazon.appmanager: com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping: com.booking com.ebay.carrier: com.ebay.mobile: com.facebook.appmanager : com.facebook.katana:c om.facebook.services: com.facebook.system: com.linkedin.android: com.netflix.mediaclient: com.opera.browser: com.opera.preinstall: com.spotify.music

Hey IanTwenty
Thank you
ext4 seems the way to go for me
As a retired psychotherapist I can tell you, that every single person on this planet has something to hide.
Obviously, psychotherapy offers a safe, private and confidential space to speak about those things. Society does not offer this safe space. So Humans hide things.
Sometimes these hidden things are even hidden from the person.
we have all broken our own, and societies, moral codes, the things we do not share with other people.
Our own sexual preferences are the most hidden of all subjects. Even in this so called Enlightened age. Sexuality still reigns supreme as the most hidden of all subjects.
I always say to people spouting the "I have nothing to hide" argument.
If you have nothing to hide!
Why do you continue to wear clothes when you go out.
Clearly it has nothing to do with the fact that: a CCTV camera on the corner of your street, a camera in a passing car, a RING doorbell facing towards the street, school kids filming with their phones, will film you and intrude upon your private life.
It is because you have something to hide.
For instance: Examples of the things that people hide.
As we see this quite regularly with our politicians and those generally in powerful positions:
The Pro family values political evangelists who espouses that homosexuality is a sin, and then gets caught with a male prostitute.
In psychoanalysis this this called "Splitting". Its where the politician projects all his hidden, unacceptable parts of himself, in this case his homosexual preferences, and projects them onto other people in society. Those bad bad people who are homosexuals.
Or the pro child protection evangelist politician, who gets caught with gigabytes of child abuse images on their laptop. Same thing.
Its the same with the recent rise in the Right Wing anti-everything brigade;
anti-immigrant, who most likely had a foreign girlfriend when they were young, and are now ashamed of it because their mates are anti-immigrant. Group think.
anti-abortion, probably got a girl pregnant, wasnt man enough to support her, and left her no choice to get an abortion. Misogyny
anti-homosexual, probably a repressed homosexual who fantasises about sex with same sex partners. Far too ashamed to come out.
anti-this anti-that; Oh the shame!
This always speaks more about the hidden belief systems that those people carry. It is not about the people onto whom they are trying to project there own personal stuff.
To be human is to have a private life, and to keep it secret.
I install a full MX-Linux distro on an old 32Gb usb drive.
Particularly helpful when family or friends have IT problems.
I install the latest downloaded distro on a usb with dd:
sudo fdisk -l
sudo dd if=MX-23.5_x64.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress
The /dev/sdX could be sdb, sdc, sdd, or microsd /dev/nvme0n1
boot into the live distro F12,
fully update the live disk.
set it up as you would your new linux device. network manager, web browser, text editor, email, VPN, etc and any tools you want.
whatever you change here goes into your new usb distro settings
once complete, install and run bleachbit as user and as root to clear all the caches and install data.
install another blank usb into the laptop
Open MX-Linux tools to create a snapshot
select Snapshot.
select a different snapshot directory. use the blank usb you just inserted,
usually: /dev/sdb
rename the snapshot to a name of choice.
once the creation of the snapshot is complete, safely remove the usb drive and shut down the live distro.
boot into your daily driver.
Insert the usb drive with the MX-Linux snapshot, and transfer it to a new folder/directory.
insert the 32Gb usb. format it with gparted, fat32 is fine
open the folder/directory with the snapshot.iso
open a terminal
then install the snapshot onto the usb with dd.
sudo fdisk -l
sudo dd if=snapshot.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress
The /dev/sdX could be sdb, sdc, sdd, or microsd /dev/nvme0n1
always double check with:
sudo fdisk -l
