I had a 256GB phone and after 1 year had used less than half the space, without ever deleting anything, so when i upgraded this time I saved money and got the 128GB model. I sync my photos/videos to my NAS so can purge those from my phone at any time to save space. That’s really the only thing that takes up any significant storage.
Gentoo. Literally the entire system is a build environment. Imagine a single environment that’s capable of compiling thousands of different packages and managing dependencies etc.
I have pixel 7 and it always takes 3 or 4 taps in the corners for it to register my touch
I have a bunch of different old consoles and vintage computers (not “444” of course) and used to try to have them all hooked up, it was such a miserable rats nest of wires. I eventually settled on just using one at a time (I am only human, after all).
Whatever I’m playing gets the prime hookup spot in front of the TV, everything else gets stored neatly on a shelf or in a box. Cables and controllers are in individually labelled zipper storage bags, in bin drawers, out of sight until they are needed…
Of course, hooking them all up is a hobby itself… It’s easy to go down a rabbit hole of scalers and SCART switches and RGB mods and then you suddenly find yourself a couple thousand dollars poorer.

Looking-glass.io is what most use for that
कमल is the word kamala written in Sanskrit.
My “main” OS timeline was:
Technically I used windows 3.1 at times in DOS and OS/2 for some specific piece of software, but it was never what I primarily used and I don’t consider Windows 3.1 a proper operating system, it’s just a desktop environment.
Not sure exactly when, but I know by 2000 I was fully on board the Linux train.
Started using Linux in the days of floppy boot and root diskettes. Lived through the days of hand-crafted SLIP scripts for dial up internet. The days of needing to pay for working sound drivers. Manually calculating modelines in Xfree86.
I have primarily used Windows at work, probably been 99% windows and 1% Unix/Linux. I have had windows laptops and virtual machines for certain specific use cases but it has never been my main.

Gentoo has binary packages now, so install can be quite fast.
Gentoo for the last 20+ years. Slackware before that.
Ran something or other off dual floppy drives at some point in the ancient times… A boot diskette and a root diskette.
Ironically, Microsoft has retired the “Microsoft Office” name.
Heliboard for normal communication (glide typing) and Hackers Keyboard for shell/remote desktop/programming type usage. Generally i find the keys too small and typing on a touch screen is slow and annoying, so i use a real computer to type whenever i can.
My typing accuracy is much better with gboard, but I don’t use it because google…
I have never used voice to text nor voice controlled assistant etc. as I have no interest in doing that. My phone is muted 99.9% of the time, I prefer to operate in silence…
