From my (small) friends circle, I haven't heard any of them talk about getting one. However, it's worth noting that these friends of mine are also not the ones who would buy new smartphones every year. They typically hold onto their phones for a few years and only switch when it seems like the phone isn't performing as expected (e.g. battery draining too quickly; slowness in software actions; to name a few).
One question I do have is, what happens if you clean install an AOSP like GrapheneOS onto these newer Pixels phones? Does that remove the AI features completely?
Well...if you're learning English as a foreign language, I can see how this can ease the learning process. It's a useful tool in that case, but afterwards, it's important to read and understand the original text.
Sigh...as a species, we are really not mature enough to be using "advanced" tech such as AI or LLMs. It's no wonder we get crap like this instead of the use cases we see in shows like Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Based on my experience, I think you can. Many distros nowadays offer ways to do things without the use of the terminal. In Linux Mint, for example, you can rely solely on the Update Manager to update all installed applications and modules rather than using the terminal. You can also uninstall apps by right-clicking on them in the Menu and selecting the uninstall option. And finally, if you want to move files around, even to some locations that require root, you can do that using the File Explorer app (e.g. Nemo).
That being said, when I started on my Linux journey, I made it a point to actually learn some terminal commands, because I saw it as an important feature in Linux and a good skill to possess.
I would like to, but I'm running Arch with Cinnamon, and that desktop environment only has an experimental version of Wayland implemented. I've tried it, and it's too buggy to be used as a daily driver.
Well, I would go to the theater if there was anything worth watching. These days, I can't seem to find the excitement I used to have to go to the theater and watch a movie I'm interested in.
Well...the animation style is similar to the style seen in Japanese anime, but it wasn't produced by a Japanese company, so it isn't a Japanese Anime...but it is an anime because it is animated.
Initially, it is quite bland, but I have already downloaded the Linux Mint themes and backgrounds, plus some other theme options that were recommended to me. So, in terms of themes, I'm okay with that.
As for the Wayland option, that is available as a selection in the Login Screen. I don't use it very often, because it is quite buggy.
By "news", I mean do we have any major updates, like improvements to the experimental Wayland support. From the link you shared, that minor update doesn't really mean much to me.
I have been using Librewolf for several months now, and I am quite happy with it. In terms of user privacy, Librewolf by default has some strict settings enabled, like Resist Fingerprinting. Resist Fingerprinting does cause some minor problems, like incorrect timezones, but there is a workaround, as stated on the Librewolf website.

YES!!! I love this game!

The SaGa series are pretty good JRPGs, both in terms of gameplay and story. My personal favorites are:
Octopath Traveler is really good too, with the second one in the series being the best one.
Steam is probably the best platform for gaming on Linux right now. Here are some games I recommend that run well on Linux:
Okay, then that's one of favorite zombie moments.
Does Michael Jackson's Thriller MV count as a zombie moment?
Batman (1989), Batman Returns, and The Nightmare Before Christmas
Wow, that quick? I was told that it might take several weeks for it to show up!
I would like to, but I'm running Arch with Cinnamon, and that desktop environment only has an experimental version of Wayland implemented. I've tried it, and it's too buggy to be used as a daily driver.
For my own learning and understanding, why does it take that long for GNOME on Arch?

Does that make sense?
