Wait, just two weeks ago I was looking for a new GPS logging app and didn’t notice that there’s now an official (and non-official) dedicated Android app available. I’ll have to try it out.
I’ve been using Dawarich for a while now and the biggest problem was always finding a way to get a good app that can do both accurate, and battery-saving tracking.
Anyway, love the project and seeing it continually improving.
Yup. I’ve tried the game during their recent free weekend, and even with an empty map the FPS went below 30 FPS. Granted, that was at 4K with high settings, but still very much inexcusable considering it’s running on a 9070XT and again, a completely empty map.
After all, even putting all the other problems the game has aside, why shouldn’t I just play the first game if this one doesn’t manage to either look or perform dramatically better?
First up, this fork is specifically about the Android client, not any other ones.
The fork of that always had some nice mobile battery saving features added, but morr importantly, the original version has been discontinued.
Damn. Looks like I really should stop being lazy and check out some mobile clients that weren’t abandoned like Sync. It’s even reformatting my manually typed spoiler tags to the wrong format after I submit.

Agree. It’s neat for file transfers and simple one-shot backups, but if you’re looking for a proper backup solution then other tools/services have advanced virtually every aspect of backups so much it pretty much always makes sense to use one of those instead.
Yup, that’s how it works.
If you the flea caravan has already moved you’ll be out of luck for now. You’ll be able to fight it later on though in a slightly different spot.
I do think those featues have become pretty common in PC gaming nowadays, which is why I’m more in favor of openSUSE as the beginner distro if I had to pick just one, but sure, let’s put that aside.
When it comes to Linux though I just don’t think there’s a one-size-fits-all distro yet that I can safely recommend to everyone. And getting beginners onto a distro that fits them can greatly benefit their initial experience, so I think it’s worth it to give them a few simple choices. That said, you’re completely right that the way OP tries to explain the differences isn’t how you should do it. Ever. Less choices, less jargon, less mentions of fringe distros. It also doesn’t help that a lot of it seems to be based on hearsay rather than actual first-hand experience.
Do you really want to recommend btrfs to beginners?
I mean, it’s the default on Fedora with all its spins, openSUSE, CachyOS and even SteamOS for its root partition.
So lots of people use it nowadays without even knowing.
Chiming in, I’ll say that I mostly agree with your points, except for one:
Someone who just started looking into switching to Linux is looking for neither X11 nor Wayland support.
They won’t care about X11 vs Wayland, sure. A non-ignorable number of them will care about stuff like HDR or multi-monitor setups where different refresh rates don’t stutter and VRR works, and that’s where proper Wayland support becomes a must.
If you recommend someone a distro that can’t do those things and later have to tell them that they have to switch distros for that chances are high they’ll just go back to Windows.
Because it wasn’t mentioned, I’ll just note that Joplin has also has the option to sync with a dedicated server component.
While it doesn’t work in a P2P configuration like a Syncthing setup allows, I’d recommend it for anyone with access to a server.
Mint is a fine distro, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone that wants to do gaming right now either. None of the first class DEs are running on Wayland yet, which means that most monitor features of the last decade are not at all or badly supported.
And considering this is about the Dragon Quest creator, those games historically got high quality inventive translations as well with lots of different dialects for different locations.
