Yeah you could try installing Linux with the Windows drive disconnected. I had Windows and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed installed with two drives on my old PC without any issues.

Hmm. Windows shouldn’t be putting anything on the Linux drive. Maybe disconnect the other drive before installing Windows.

You could use a separate drive for Linux.

Yeah I have the flip 6. I upgraded from the flip 3 for a larger cover screen. No issues with either of them.

I like that it takes up less pocket space and most tasks can be done on the cover without opening the phone. The flipping is neat but honestly I’d rather have a modern 4-4.5 inch android slab. Too bad all the major phone manufacturers have switched to only making giant pocket tablets.

Have you checked out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed? Very stable rolling release. I’ve been using it for a couple years without issues.

I really enjoy Tumbleweed. I’ve been using it for about 18 months now without issue. One thing to note though is that TW only packages production release Nvidia drivers. This means you will not have the 555 or 560 drivers that make Wayland usable by default. You can always install the latest drivers with the run file provided by Nvidia. Some people also use the CUDA repo to get the newer drivers. However, I’d think both of these options may be the type of tinkering you are trying to avoid.

Overall I think TW is a great distro but it may be a bit more setup for Nvidia gaming on Wayland than you are looking for. If you’re down with doing a little tinkering or gaming on X give it a shot. You can always roll back if something gets messed up.

I really liked sony back when they made the compact series. ZX1 compact was my favorite smartphone but sadly it stopped working on my carrier. Now I’m using a galaxy zflip. The size when folded feels nice in my pocket. Closest thing I could find to a “small” full featured android.

• beer (cheaper away from the beach)
• hat for shade
• fishing pole if you like fishing
• cheap old phone if you have one, can swap your sim card to it. Keeps sand and water away from nice newer phone

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed!

Oh nice I’ll have to check that one out

Naah. Turning it off and on again would mess up the temperature.

“The Sopranos” would be a fun one.

Anyways, $4 a pound…

The 6 is $1100, so free for me with trade in. I think the flip 3 was $999 on release but I did the $999 off deal by trading in a Galaxy s10e.

I guess you could say the zflip has a front facing speaker if you open it halfway haha. In the L shaped position the speaker will face you.

I’ve been using the Samsung zflip 3 since release without issues. I like that it does not take up much pocket space. I’ve always liked smaller phones like the Xperia Xz1 compact, so the unfolded screen is a bit bigger than I’d like. Sadly there are not many options for small android phones anymore.

I’ve pre-ordered the zflip6 through att since they are offering a $1100 trade in value for the 3. Looks like it’ll have a bit better battery, camera, and a dust protection rating.

I enjoyed Dark(German), Deutschland 83(German), and Gomorrah(Italian)

openSUSE Tumbleweed is pretty comfy. Btrfs snapshots enabled by default so it’s really hard to break it. I’ve been using it for about 8 months now and haven’t had any big issues.
