KNX.

Everything is decentrally programmed, and you can do extra automations and stuff from home assistant, but KNX devices are wired (generally) and will always Just Work™. More expensive that the cheaper retrofit options, but if you factor in manual overrides or getting the "better" wireless smart devices it is comparable. They generally also have a manual override at the panel. For core functions like lights, HVAC, roll shutters or blinds, etc... That is honestly the best option (unless you want every light to be an RGB light for some reason, then you still need smart bulbs)

If you ever need a language buddy, let me know.

There is also a Learn Dutch discord that is fairly active.

Duolingo sucks ass for learning languages. Dutchpod101 is pretty good, but the best is a combination of dutch books + listening like dhtchpod101 or some simple news podcasts or so.

Maybe people have gotten Saned for network scanning working on other things than bazzite, but I can't figure it out and the discord is never helpful.

But document signing is a technical limitation caused by flatpak. You can technically do it by installing your entire office and authentication suite on a rooted distrobox, but then that is defeating a fair amount of the point of ease of use and sandboxing. I haven't tested that though so even that might have some bugs or not work.

There are but trackers on different upstream flatpak software for it like Firefox, but it has been completely dead for 5 years with no plans on looking at it.

Bazzite or an immutable if you do gaming and don't need a lot of special functionality (e.g. network scanning doesn't work, document signing doesn't work and will never work, managing gpg keys, embedded firmware development, Belgian EID, etc...)

Mint if you don't have a brand new system and just want an easy experience.

Arch if you want all niche software to simply be available through the package manager and never have to find rpm/deb packages.

Debian for a server (or maybe opensuse MicroOS nowadays)

Opensuse if you really want an EU OS or something very integrated with a snapshot system.

And of course, Hannah Montana Linux if you are enlightened.

Especially because virtually all high megapixel country cameras have smaller physical pixel size and use pixel binning and combining to try to recreate a better image through computation where smaller megapixel cameras can have bigger pixel sizes and absorb more light, leading to better raw images. (Of course there are great and bad implementations of both ideas)

This is literally every train in Belgium, I'm pretty sure it has been for a long time. We are anti-social

You can also look at the MKBHD 2024 smartphone camera comparison test with the FP5. I would suggest taking the test yourself if that is still possible.

I would guess that the camera will be comparable. (Everything below if FP5 assuming about the same performance with the FP6)

For me, daylight pics were after all of the pixels but before anything else. I like the more neutral not supremely over-saturated over-sharpened/smoothed pictures that many phones take nowadays.

For me, it was middle of the pack for dimly lit photos.

For the overall ELO with everyone, FP5 was on the mid-lower end (of a comparison of all flagships + pixel A series), but perfectly usable for people who aren't doing social media as a job.

Hell, even here in Belgium, we take the green option to get all of our electricity from wind and solar (of which there is a ton) and it is slightly MORE expensive.

Plus tons and tons of people, like a significant portion of the population, have solar panels and batteries with grid feedback.

Electricity prices have only gone up, even when it gets cheaper for the company. Energy companies are universally corrupt and full of shit

Except network scanning is the furthest thing from "just works" on atomic fedora based distros. That is an essential usecase for many or most people.

I like fedora atomic and I run bazzite, but can't break is quite different than "just works" in my opinion.

Do you think your ISP and cell phone providers aren't companies?? 😂 in america it was made fully legal like a decade ago for them to spy on you 24/7 and sell all of that information to the lowest bidders.

Here in the EU it is better, but still not great...

Also, privacy conscious? SMS, MMS, and cell calling is like the least private you can get IIRC.

This is similar to what I do.

I have a USB drive with the whole bootloader + decryption keyfiles on it. I remove it while it is running as everything is stored in RAM and already booted.

Downside being it has to be plugged in to update the boot partition during an upgrade.
