Android still my favorite mobile OS.

Whit time, Android has proven to just work for me. While I tend to jump from one brand to another of Android smartphone as time goes by, Android itself keeps solidly as the mobile OS I prefer.

As newer Android versions come along, each has corrected things I disliked from previous versions and added new things that I actually like. For example, Android 12  has made the setting menu a lot better, and made it easier for me to manage notifications, and permissions, of the apps I've installed. Both have improved my user experience, and really made my user experience all that better.

Currently I've a Nothing Phone (1), which is expecting an upgrade to Android 13 in the coming months. Which is good news for me, since I'm looking toward to seeing how Google improved on Android. I don't really expect much on the side on improvements on the user experience, but the refinements promise to be worth the wait.

While I see iOS as something of a good mobile OS, and one that keeps Google pushing to make Android better, it still doesn't offer me what Android does. Mainly the user interface simply doesn't work for me, too cluttered for me.

So far, I rather keep on the Android side of thing.

Linux Mint going for the long-term support model was the right choice.

Ever since I stared using  Linux Mint  with the long-term support mantra with the version 19 Tara release, I've come to prefer Linux distros  that use development model rather than distros that release updates more often with shorter support windows. Even though I upgrade to the new Linux Mint release as soon it becomes available, knowing that I don't have to rush it and that the testing to make sure nothing is broken with the new release is a bit more intense, gives me feel a bit safer about thing will continue working as I used to and expect them to. Besides, all the apps I use are updated as continuously. As such, I don't need to worry using versions of those apps that fall behind. Not only the that, with updates to Linux Mint come as needed and the point releases keep bring the big releases that weren't included at the original release of the OS. For my needs, Linux Mint cover them all, and it gets better with time. With each release, Linux Mint keeps feeling like ...

Machenike and Linux Mint: quite a nice combo.

I've been using a Machenike L16A  with Linux Mint  as my daily driver for four months now, and I must admit that I'm impressed with how good the experience has been so far. The Machenike was recommended to me by a close friend about six months ago, since I told him that I was looking for a new laptop. He had bought one a while ago, and said that it was a solid machine. Not only that, Machenike laptops were quite a great value for the money since they are significantly cheaper than comparable laptops from the competitions. And to be honest, when I got my laptop i expected to be so, but not to the extent it has been so far. After four months, my laptop feels really snappy and the performance is just great. And since I upgraded to Linux Mint 22 Wilma, it only has gotten better. One of the areas where I see most improvement, in on the Bluetooth connectivity. It connects more consistently with the three Bluetooth headphone I use, and now I can see how much battery the headphones I...

Curious about the iPhone user experience.

Even though I'm looking forward to the Android 15  on my Google Pixel 7a , I still see the iPhone  and wonder how would be using it as a daily driver. While the iPhone 16 is due to come up soon, I'd rather go to with the iPhone 15  or the iPhone SE . Mainly because the iPhone 15, or the SE, would be a great fit for my needs and a cheaper way to try the iPhone user experience without breaking the bank. Until now, the iPhone hasn't had what it take away from Android. It is basically more of curiosity of what it would be using an iPhone instead of an Android device. To be honest, if given the chance to jump to the iPhone 16 or to the Pixel 9 , I'd choose the Pixel 9 in a hearth beat. Specially since I'm really happy how the Pixel 7a has been so far, so moving to the Pixel 9 feels like a more natural upgrade for me. Ever since I stared using Android, with the 4.4 version , there I've no reason to move the the iPhone, specially since with each newer version of And...
