Rocking a 200$ OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite and it’s doing the job pretty well! Thinking of flashing PixelOS into it once I get bored with Oxygen OS.

One of the few current google apps that is 10/10.

Nice. But I’d rather have an SD card slot, headphone jack, and a bigger, removable battery. Seriously, I don’t give a fuck otherwise.

Install the Twitter2nitter app from fdroid so that even the ‘twitter.com’/‘x.com’ links redirect to nitter instances upon getting clicked.

Lovely SMS app. Fast, fluid and beautiful.

Brave Search

CX file explorer- can’t live without it.

The August update fucked this app up with shitty, slow-ass animations, and now this? Damn it, WhatsApp. Meta ought to bloat everything it seems.

For me, Redreader definitely counts as a good reddit app…

Love Voyager’s UI.

It already is outside the US

I rarely have more than 5 tabs open at once

Finally! A sane Firefox user who doesn’t open 3000+ tabs in a session…

Same here.

Should I be surprised?

Not sure if it’s happiness per-se, but I’m excited about joining uni next week.

Meanwhile, Mozilla themselves in 2021:

Sorry but I didn’t get it- wait for…?

Seems like I’ve finally found a fellow human being who uses a modest system like me, haha. Similar specs, and I too use a debloated version of Windows 10- it works very nicely.

Thanks for these recommendations- I’ll try these out right now and see how it goes.

I would be more than happy to try Linux, but until now I just thought I shouldn’t before I try it on a secondary machine, something that I don’t have at the moment.

But right now, it seems that I am just missing out. Would try Linux Mint this week if possible!

I already use uBO and it’s terrific! But yes, I don’t think much can be done because my old CPU is the main issue here and it can’t be replaced sadly.
