I’ve been on NVIDIA with Wayland since June 23 (which is when I switched to Linux in general) and I am still mystified what all this fuss is about. Everything just… works? What am I missing?

They’re not in the cloud, they are on my NAS. I found that you can’t directly copy photos onto an iPhone to show up on the gallery, because there is some sort of database and file naming system. That’s why I had to go through iTunes because it would do it in just this way so that I can see all the photos in the native gallery app.
Any new photos get uploaded to my NAS automatically.
I have a Windows 11 VM which I keep around. I was forced to use it for iTunes because I needed to sync my old photos onto the phone (fortunately a one time process).
I also played around with RemoteApp because I wanted to use Visual Studio or Office on Linux through the Windows VM, but I have not managed to get it working.
I remember trying this as well but it didn’t help, and the problem also exists on Linux
Sure, please check the other reply in this comment thread
Because bold fonts look weird in Firefox and I have not found a way to change that
I keep reading this all the time but I have the same setup and I don’t understand what’s supposedly wrong or broken with it. It just seems to work fine. What am I missing here?
I have both the Duo 1 and Duo 2. It is definitely a love / hate relationship.
The quality of the hardware is really good. But software has been disappointing since launch. While a lot of the bugs have been fixed, you kinda need to use Microsoft Launcher on this device. And in typical Microsoft fashion, it is worse on their own hardware than on any other phone. You cannot backup and restore your launcher configuration, cannot change the grid sizes, cannot change icons, etc.
Apps do generally work fine because unlike the Z Fold and Pixel Fold, they open on only one screen by default. You have to manually span them across both screens if you want, but very few apps are actually aware of there being a gap between the screens.
I don’t remember who, but someone described this device perfectly imo: Surface Duo is the most amazing piece of tech that I ever owned, but it is also the worst phone that I ever owned.
Just wondering what’s the power consumption and how long have you had it? I just got my electricity bill after running an R720 for a year and… let’s just say it wasn’t worth the low price after all
