Let's say hypothetically, you just lived the plot of the Truman Show, escaping a bubble where your life has been broadcasted for the entire world to see. Now that you're free, what's your next move?

Alternative smart phones in the USA?
I was considering doing that as a last resort. My understanding is that no lesser just pretty heavily nerfs GPU performance, you can’t do GPU acceleration, things will be a lower resolution etc, and again this machine doesn’t even have a dedicated GPU so for the use case I imagine the device in that shouldn’t really matter. I’ve been using it with nomodeset just fine and everything looks great and I don’t feel like I’m getting a lesser experience, but if I can get a permanent fix that works I’d rather go with that.

I apologize this is going to be a bit vague as I can’t really provide specifics at the moment, but I’ll try to do my best with what I know off the top of my head. I recently picked up an old Dell Optiplex desktop from 2013 and refurbished it (new paste, switched out an HDD for an ssd etc) with the intent to sell it for a profit. It has no GPU, just using integrated graphics but I figured it’d be a great machine for basic web browsing and such. I figured I’d do an OEM install of Mint, but the only problem is the gui will not properly display after booting without nomodeset in the grub config. I don’t feel like that’s an ideal form for it to be in when I sell it to someone. I’ve tried a couple different things to fix it, I made sure all the proper drivers are installed, tried i915 flags, I’m ashamed to admit it but I was turning to chatgpt for quick support and it seems to think that ivy bridge chips just don’t play nice with up to date kernels. It suggested I downgrade to mint 21.2 so I can use a 5.15 kernel which would hypothetically work. I’m out of ideas so I might give it a try I’m not super knowledgeable, but I figured I’d turn to real people before going forward with that, I’d much prefer selling something running the current release. The CPU is a Intel i5 3470. I can provide more precise specs and information that’s helpful later when I can check. But for now I’m open to ideas if you’ve got em.
I bought a massive box of dishwashing powder a bit over a year ago and I’m maybe halfway through it, it’s like magic. Thank you technology connections!
Is anyone (on Lemmy that is) actually gonna play this game? It’s for sure goanna be like free to play micro transaction hell
I think everything going on with the open source phone space is very exciting, also I think copyparty is very cool.
