I made sure to never go to any party invitation that anyone has ever told me to "dress up" and the theme is X. It's overwhelming. It's already annoying enough that people keep having this things every year.
Zero. Either works or it doesn't. More likely to just work. The not just work situations happen when it's hardware too recent or some manufacturer that has fucked bad like doing weird things in their hardware for cameras or sound or something like that. That happened in the older days, almost 99% happening with anything nvidia related. Eventually one starts to know which hardware is good and which manufacturers suck and you start buying things that work from the start in later years of living.
It took years and legal pressure and fines to have other app stores decently recognized and allowed. I don't understand how we are going so back. I mean I understand. Capitalism + monopoly + orange guy.
I initially used jerboa for a long time, but I don't remember what made me try something else. I settled on Thunder, but initially it was very weird and ugly. Had to spend a bunch of time in the settings to configure it in a way that made sense to me. Now it feels natural.
The only time I tried it they were definitely much better than the only alternative at the time which was prepackaged ones available in grocery stores.
Better get it later than never.
