I’ve mainly used an iPhone 13 and a Pixel 7 pro for comparison, but both have consistently worse cameras than the 6T.
I mostly take close-up photos of plants for iNaturalist, and with both the iPhone and the Pixel i have a very hard time getting it to focus on the right spot long enough to get a good photo. The 6T is much better at maintaining the correct focus IME than either newer phone.
Both the Pixel and the iPhone will frequently try to refocus on something in the background just as I’m framing the shot. I have a third-party camera on the pixel with “manual” focus, but it’s not as easy to use as the OP6T. The iPhone is less bad about random focus changes if i’m taking a picture of a flower in good light, but leaves and stems frequently give me trouble.
I also prefer the color balance on the OP6T to that on the Pixel or iPhone. Much more true to life IMO
My 6t was the best Android i ever had. I still havent found a smartphone with a better camera than that one (including modern iPhones and Pixels).
Too bad about the Oppo merger ruining a lot of what made Oneplus good. The lack of support for loading alternative roms was the final straw for me. I dont want to be chained to the very short device lifespan the manufacturer supports.
Sorry to be off-topic but I’m curious:
How/why do people use proton-ge?
Are you using it standalone? Through Lutris or Steam? Something else?
What are the situations you’d need it over vanilla proton? Do you keep both vanilla and ge installed?
Also, do improvements generally get added to vanilla, or is ge an increasingly-divergent fork?
I’ve been gaming primarily on Linux for over a decade and since it’s been an option I’ve used proton on steam extensively, but I’ve never tried ge
I was especially annoying after seeing Megalopolis
i never liked the inconsistent window management though.
On 8, (i dont remember for 8.1) there were some apps and menus that forced “tablet mode” and could only be interacted with in fullscreen. Other applications would open in what looked like tablet mode by default but you could break them out into desktop mode, after which they behaved normally.

I don’t think the snap argument is without merit, I just think it’s an argument only had by a very technical subset of users. I think your comment illustrates that.
I don’t agree that anybody would be left “orphaned” on Ubuntu. LXD vs Podman is again a very technical question for a specific subset of users.
I also don’t agree that SteamOS is the goal for compatibility and support. Compatibility is best with Ubuntu, it’s the most widely deployed and used desktop distribution by far. Most other desktop distros are a rounding error when compared to Ubuntu user-wise.
I’ve also personally had a buggy experience with SteamOS. I wouldn’t use it as a desktop in its current state, but I’m aware some folks do just that.
For someone new to Linux who just needs to get on with their desktop work, Ubuntu is the best distro there is (flawed as it may be). Mint is also a good choice for the same reasons.
