  • Then I guess the root file system has never really been locked down? It was shipped stock, but they give you the option to "OEM unlock" and root. I know samsung locks their shit, but this is google that is relevant here

    Why are the minimize/restoring windows is under the "appearance" category in Window Managment>Desktop Effects?

    I think it is confusing and not sorted correctly. There are categories in Window Managment>Desktop Effects:

    1. Accessibility
    2. Appearance: This has things I don't think even reflect the title of the category. And why does it have minimize and restore windows animations? Shouldn't those have their own? It also has the "Fall Apart" animation. Shouldn't that belong to the "Window Open/Close Animation"? When applied, it overrides whatever you choose in "Window Open/Close Animation". I'm a bit confused. Bottom line, this one has a variety of things, not only appearance things.
    3. Focus
    4. Peak at Desktop Animation
    5. Tools
    6. Virtual Desktop Switching Animation
    7. Window Management
    8. Window Open/Close Animation

    Could very well be my rusty English, I don't know. Am I the only who thinks that this section of the settings is kind of mixing many things? ![](https://lazysoci.al/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fdde7f82f-a0b9-4dc9-935f-f84d51b80dd8.

  • You're correct. Root is different from jailbreak. Root allows for a replacement of even the OS itself. Jailbreak allows you to install software that modifies low level parts of the system without replacing the system itself. This is as far as I understand it. That's why this is called a jailbreak, not root.

  • I've never bought a Kindle a never will. I have a kobo sage and I love it. However, my friend gave me his and I jailbroke it. I have left the Amazon store disabled after the jailbreak. I just wish there is a way to remove the whole Amazon os and replace it with koreader.

  • Shit, then let me stop reading this slog (the wheel of time) that has been like pulling my intestines out of my mouth by a child. I'm seriously going to stop it and start reading the expanse. That's it. I'm done. 😂

    What book would you love to see made into a movie?

    For me, it's King's "Fairy Tale". I think it would make a great movie. Here is to hoping that Hollywood hears my prayers. Lol

    Life After Microsoft Windows: Linux Rises

    This just warms my heart. The year of the Linux desktop isn't here, but the decade of it is.

    Looking for a "set it and forget it" distro

    Hi all, Relatively long time Linux user (2017 to be precise), and about two 3rds of that time has been on Arch and its derivatives.

    Been running Endeavour OS for at least 2.5 years now. It's a solid distro until it's not. I'd go for months without a single issue then an update comes out of nowhere and just ruins everything to either no return, or just causes me to chase after a fix for hours, and sometimes days. I'm kinda getting tired of this trend of sudden and uncalled for issues.

    It's like a hammer drops on you without you seeing it. I wish they were smaller issues, no, they're always major. Most of the time I'd just reinstall, and I hate that. It's so much work for me.

    I set things the way I like them and then they're ruined, and the hunt begins. I have been wanting to switch for a long time, and I honestly have even been looking into some of those immutable distros (that's how much I don't want to be fixing my system.

    I'm tired, I just want to use my system to get work do
