I use only atomic distros now and could not be happier.

Presently using Fedora Atomic Cosmic, it's minimal, stable, quite beauttiful and does everytihng I need it to. Just as Silverblue did for a long time, just thought I'd switch it up and trial Cosmic long use. I imagine my needs are less than some, am not a gamer

The only package I layer is Opensnitch. Flatpaks and a couple appimages covers all else,

I have no idea what customization or anything else I am told I'm missing out on, and that's fine by me, guess better I can't miss what I don't need ;) For me personally, 100% feature complete. Though I would guess gaming needs would be a different situtation/needs, so cannot comment on that

My preference for flatpaks is based upon I can further lock out network access for those apps that I don't want having network access. Just gives me another layer of network access prevention using flatseal. For the paranoid side of me :)

Have a couple apps can only use appimages, using with gear lever is just great & easy

Both work great though

Nice. Similar, I got the N100 off the bay to give a try. VoLTE now works good in USA with Tello /Tmobile, at least in my area, that was certainly a show stopper for some time, huge win!

Got OpenVPN working, uWolf runnng my NextDNS so can filter/watch the logs, MMS has some issues (only works with wifi disabled, but I think they have a fix coming), no RCS as you mention.

As you say, not quite there, but good progress overall. Hope for continued progress, and love to see the many more posts on it than ever before!

Using a privacy focused Android phone project for now, but long term the real answer is Linux or some other new project to tear away completely from Bigtechs dependency & stranglehold. Thanks for your adding development to the cause!

As an American I applaud this move

I prefer Silverblue & its minimalism. That said I just jumped back on Fedora Atomic Cosmic and is far enough along I will use it as the daily going forward & watch it develop. Its nice.

Since Google now has moved to quarterly updates for older devices, this seems to obliterate that good ol' scare tactic used by some

Was good marketing though... for those who got caught up in it

One thought was during the scan, maybe show a subset of files as they are scanned? Just to give further feedback things are progressing. As opposed to just the moving bar

Whatever you decide, I again thank for this, will be watching and likely replace my script. Really fits a long missing need. Cheers!

Very nice. Periodically I have run a clamav podman script, but this looks really slick, installed and will run thru paces

Thanks for such a cool project :)
