I used to have that. It was my Nokia n900. I was able to pull up live thumbnail previews of all apps running in the background, and this included live simultaneous previews of: youtube videos in a web browser, games, and Debian, without lag. Try doing that on today's technology. It had a wonderfully acurate resistive touch screen that was pressure senstive that was really good for drawing and coloring! The camera wou…

I adored my Nokia N9 for similar reasons! The single best phone I've ever owned.

Why adored? Why not adore? I still have my N9 and I use it every day.

> ...and its syntax for me is worse than Java's Both C++ and Java have been improving their syntax in recent years. I'd recommend reintroducing yourself to the latest version of either.

But the header files are still there, aren't they? One still has to write a method name and arguments twice.

You're talking C++, clearly. First, you could write things header-only and avoid repeating yourself if that's your concern. Much of boost is written this way. There are advantages and disadvantages to that, but it's less code.

Second, there are experimental modules systems available that avoid many of the disadvantages of header-only code. If things go well, modules will be standard in C++20.

There are certainly things I would improve about the syntax of Java and C++, but both are improving quickly in that regard.

I never liked KDE looks nor ergonomics. Nor their attempts at grand projects (plasma makes me cringe everytime I see the word now). But I appreciate "simpler" open linux platform for smartphones. Wish them the best. ps: I was actually looking into FDroid to free myself a little from Android locks, wishing for a simple linux + ssh + any signed code I wish.

Me too, then I tried Plasma 5.8 and I am delighted. It is by far the best DE I ever used - and yes, macOS included. The polish it has is unbelievable.

Well, the bar is pretty damn low in Unity (IMHO)... terribly inconsistent UI e.g. they seldom follow long set conventions on how field focus and basic keyboarding behavior should work in windows and dialogs. I find it very, very frustrating and am giving KDE plasma a shot.

I was really hoping for a mobile equivalent to Kali Linux here based on the term "hacking device" in the title. :sadparrot:

Kali is just a Linux distro. Most/all tools in Kali are available in other distros, and not just the 'hacking' distros. In other words, you can still run Metasploit and suchlike on something like Plasma Mobile.
