konsole does support sixel images

I'm curious what about Graphene you think would prevent certain demographics from using it as a daily driver? There are pretty well no downsides to using it compared to a first party ROM aside from not having certain things like Google Assistant baked in. It has automatic updates, you get the play store and services if you want them, it even has android auto. It's also the most rock solid android experience I've had since I switched from iOS in 2012 or so.

Obviously a stereotypical grandparent would need someone who knows computers to do the initial install and setup, but after that it's pretty well just set and forget.

Signal started out as textsecure, an sms/mms app that encrypted your text messages. It quietly started sending messages over its server at one point after an update, but before that sms is what it was about.

Is it possible she has variable refresh/gsync/freesync support and that it's enabled? That turned out to be the cause of the flickering I was seeing.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 works surprisingly well. I got it to replace a surface book for my daughter and wasn't really sure what parts of the hardware would be supported, but literally everything I tested works (the only thing I haven't tried is the fingerprint reader) and the included stylus is amazing in krita as well as just generally. The tablet mode works well, and tent mode is more convenient when it's on a desk (screen rotation requires the iio-sensor-proxy package). Battery life is decent; it gets around 6-7 hours with moderate use. I'd recommend using it with KDE.

I got my daughter a surface book with Archlinux on it when she turned four. She'd previously been using an ipad so I wanted something that had a touchscreen, and I installed KDE as the desktop. She learned how to use it extremely quickly, and has even started in on the commandline now that she's 5 and knows how to read. GCompris is great too.

Me and my wife haven't bothered with parental controls and instead just keep an eye on her usage, but I agree with other commenters that controlling things at the router level seems like a better bet.

Input Leap is a Synergy fork with mostly working compatibility for Gnome Wayland, and Waynergy works well as a client on sway (and possibly kde?)

I was seeing those issues on my 7840u, but they were completely resolved with the testing firmware for phoenix here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/8044

Termux is awesome! I use it for a bunch of things:

• sshing into servers and my home when I'm out and about
• using croc to transfer files
• making videos I'm going to send people smaller with ffmpeg
• downloading stuff with yt-dlp
• giving myself access to the sandbox + /sdcard from other computers by running an ssh server
• scripting phone stuff (like taking photos) with the api
• running weechat locally, which I can then connect to with weechat android
• using vim
• probably a bunch of other things I'm forgetting

I take advantage of hardware video encoding on linux with amd's open source drivers almost every day.

So true- I was talking to someone about vim the other day and wanted to tell them the keybinding for something I use daily, but had no idea what it was without a keyboard there for reference.

Arch actually has an installer again and it's fantastic https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall
