You really trust a company(google) who warns users about malware from apks(non-google)… and then hosts plenty of unchecked malware in their own store. Im sick of this shit. I have my own friends distrusting me because of what google is telling them.
Google is corrupt

Not perfect:
But here are some ideas.
More ideal ideas:
other stuff:
What am i actually using at this point? (Nothing is set up currently!).
*this isnt perfect! but i think overall i think i dont spend much time traveling to websites for info.
Historically:
Future:
There is certainly room for immediate improvement here.
Im just lazy.
I dont need the internet as much as the internet needs me.
Found some background info
https://www.pcmag.com/news/qualcomm-snapdragon-x-elite-oryon-unveiled
“detailed the first SoC in the company’s Snapdragon X Elite line, powered by its much-anticipated next-gen CPU core, code-named “Oryon.” [Teased earlier in the month] (https://www.pcmag.com/news/qualcomm-teases-next-gen-snapdragon-x-pc-platform), “Snapdragon X” is the branding for Qualcomm’s newest SoCs for PC compute, and the Snapdragon Elite X is the first issue, positioned as its premium solution.”
“the punchiest processor for laptops that it has ever produced.”
“The 8cx chips were built around a CPU core that Qualcomm dubbed Kryo. Oryon is a newer CPU core that will power the conventional compute in Snapdragon X Elite. It was announced at 2022’s Snapdragon Summit and will underpin future Qualcomm initiatives in areas including laptop, mobile phone, automotive, and mixed reality experiences. It’s a custom core (rather than a licensed-from-Arm core) and a product, in part, of the company’s 2021 acquisition of Nuvia,”
“Oryon (pronounced like “Orion,” the star system) in its initial offering is a 12-core Arm CPU core, custom-designed by Qualcomm, built on 64-bit architecture and 4nm process technology. It’s the successor to the Kryo used in Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 (5nm process) and earlier 8cx efforts.
The overall boost clock on these 12 cores is 3.8GHz, with the ability (a bit like Intel chips with their various Turbo Boost and Turbo Boost Max technologies) to boost just one or two cores to 4.3GHz. According to Qualcomm, this limited acceleration should manifest in faster application launch times, better web browsing responsiveness, and snappier UI. The company also points out that, when in boost mode, these cores are the world’s first 4GHz-capable Arm cores.
The cores on this initial Oryon effort are clustered into three sets of four. All of them are designated as high-performance cores, in contrast to the “hybrid design” (Intel’s term) of Intel’s recent-generation Core desktop and mobile processors, most of which are divided into banks of Performance and Efficient cores (P-cores and E-cores).”
"integrated neural processing unit (NPU), dedicated silicon for processing the large data sets associated with AI workloads. (See: Intel’s “Meteor Lake” laptop chips, coming in December, and AMD’s recent Phoenix mobile processors with Ryzen AI.) The Elite X employs Qualcomm’s own Hexagon NPU, which in earlier times was better classed as a digital signal processor (DSP). In mobile designs, this kind of DSP would often be allocated side jobs like image processing to keep workloads off the hungrier CPU; now, AI and machine-learning workloads are in its purview. The Hexagon silicon is rated for 45 TOPS (trillions of operations per second) under INT4. In addition, according to the company, the NPU is capable of handling large language models (LLMs) up to 13B parameters. (LLMs with 7B parameters are also supported. With those smaller models, 30-token-per-second processing is possible.) "
“Main memory is now LPDDR5x, supporting 136GB per second of memory bandwidth. Capacities to 64GB will be supported on the platform at the discretion of the OEM. The LPDDR5x is backed by 42MB of total cache.”
“This being a Qualcomm processor, with the company’s pedigree, you’d expect leading-edge connectivity aspects to the platform, and Elite X holds to that. Wi-Fi 7 support is on the menu, as well as, of course, 5G in select SKUs as implemented”
Too late.

according to kagiGPT…
~~i have determined that wayland is the successor and technically minimal:
*Yes, it is possible to run simple GUI programs without a full desktop environment or window manager. According to the information in the memory:
You can run GUI programs with just an X server and the necessary libraries (such as QT or GTK), without needing a window manager or desktop environment installed. [1][2]
The X server handles the basic graphical functionality, like placing windows and handling events, while the window manager is responsible for managing the appearance and behavior of windows. [3][4]
Some users prefer this approach to avoid running a full desktop environment when they only need to launch a few GUI applications. [5][6]
However, the practical experience may not be as smooth as having a full desktop environment, as you may need to manually configure the environment for each GUI program. [7][8]*~~
however… firefox will not run without the full wayland compositor.
correction:
Wayland is not a display server like X11, but rather a protocol that describes how applications communicate with a compositor directly. [1]
Display servers using the Wayland protocol are called compositors, as they combine the roles of the X window manager, compositing manager, and display server. [2]
A Wayland compositor combines the roles of the X window manager, compositing manager, and display server. Most major desktops support Wayland compositors. [3]
terminal is your friend
i think you can filter this too. using stderr
ip6tables
you can run tor on it

my samsung phone gives me several options (charging,mtp,rndis,etc…)
its surprising that your tethering is off. it might seem that its considered a seperate technology.
edit: “RNDIS linux module is being deprecated and will be removed from the Linux Kernel in favor Network Control Model (NCM), but it is used by majority of devices nowadays (2023) and up to now the only way to configure working USB tethering for old Android devices.[1] For more recent devices (Android 14 era) try to use “Network Control Model (NCM) support” module first.”
not to be confused with:

rfc didnt seem so bad to me. but im a hobbyist
reading about recompiling debian kernel. it doesnt seem to be ohh soo much harder than gentoo. but it seems fairly uncommon and not as well supported. it is a shame…
the monoculture nature of prepackaged distros is also a problem.
a buffet of data breaches. lol
i figured that the opposite is true:

thats kinda true. (even excluding gemini lynx user like myself) comps and phones have reached overkill for most users. therefore sff is totally fine for most users.
truth is… only reason i dont have a bigger pc is that i want flexibility to move apt if my landlord raises rent. thats literally the only reason.
otherwise i would have dual socket, 8 sticks memory, full sized gpu, etc.
i dont mind not having all that. although, it could be used for something… currently it would be used for nothing.
And cache
