You don’t have to configure KDE you know. You can just keep the defaults like you’re probably doing with GNOME.

You’re right, you can’t run the Android (or iOS app) twice. If you want a second device running WhatsApp you’ll need the web app.

I definitely hope so, so far it’s looking promising!

I think installing all those dependencies by hand is not a good solution in the long run.

Well, no. “In the long run” this gets packaged by distributions so you don’t have to compile anything. Right now it’s available for Alpine Linux and there is an AUR package for Arch.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a flatpack container to be downloaded somewhere?

There is a Flatpak (no c in that name!) base app available, and Newpipe has been packaged with that as a Flatpak, see https://flathub.org/apps/net.newpipe.NewPipe Ideally we get more stuff packaged up once more works but I don’t think it’s feasible to repackage everything out there so for a lot of applications you’ll just have to have a locally installed ATL outside of Flatpak.

I agree with the sunscreen, although I wouldn’t use it if I wasn’t planning to stay out in the sun for long, but that’s about it for an average person. Your body is supposed to hydrate itself, and getting dirt and grime off is the function of a shower. I’m sure not everybody’s skin hydrates itself enough so they would probably need to use a moisturizer, sure, but that doesn’t mean everybody should do it all the time.

Same for acne, that’s a case where it makes sense to use some products because your skin is clearly failing to maintain itself, but again that doesn’t mean you should do the same thing if you don’t have such issues.

You were responding to a comment talking about Ubuntu Touch. You then talking about “we” without any explaining of who you meant made me assume you meant Ubuntu Touch users.

You missed the word “some”. The human body had millions of years to evolve to a point where companies seem to think they can replace essential functions of it? Where is the logic in that? Some people (I’ll make sure to emphasize it) have skin issues yes, because nature isn’t perfect. They might need some product to help out. But by far the majority will be just fine without them.

The OrganicMaps for “regular” Linux is very different from the Android app though. Completely different UI tech (Qt vs native Android widgets) and lacks important things like turn-by-turn navigation.

That and effective marketing campaigns, especially using influencers. It’s Dutch but a local TV show recently had a good section about it, https://youtu.be/Ey8yvF6m5AU?t=1
