I still have the CD. Getting it to run might be the tricky part. :p

I wish Sony will bring back the XZ1C but with updated internals. Everything else can remain, even the 720p screen.

Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Daily drove wayland back in November when I finally built my new desktop and installed Nobara. It's the default and it juat worked out of the box. Have always been a windows user until now.

Games workost of the time. Good enough for me. Full team Red build inside the case.

Asus Zenfone 8 purchased outright in Australia. App does not exist on my phone.

The fact that there exists a solution to protect against accidental edge touch means that having the digitiser/screen all the way to the edge of the device is a flaw in the design. 🤣

Yeah, the price is a big turn off for me.

I find for me it is half about the usability of thw phone one handed and the other half being pocketability. I don't want to have to carry a man-purse just to be able to have my phone with me at all times. Front pocket of jeans is where i keep my phone and the pockets are not deep enough to contain the phone without pressing into my hips when i sit. Keeping the phone in the back pocket is just inviting theft.

I just want another Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact with updated specifications.

Proper Compact phones. Think Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact or iphone mini size. Screen size of less than 5", none of this phablet sized monstrocity. Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S24 or the Zenfone 8 - 10 exist (I'm typing this on a Zenfone 8), but I personally bo not consider them compact in any way.

Rant over. :p
