Other than steam is on the deck do people play games on a specific distro?


I’m not going to buy something I’m not going to play right away. I’m not going to buy something I’m not going to play right away. I’m not going to buy something I’m not going to play right away.

OO $35 for every Yakuza game!


I didn’t skip the stuff in previous acts, and getting close to the end of my first play through on tactician. I’m currently thinking I’m going to land around 250hrs


Yes, but what if you just impulse buy 5 or so games that you might want to play someday before DD2?



I’ve considered doing this but I’m hesitant to do this for the first time on my primary device. I figure when I upgrade I may keep this phone to experiment on.


Thank you. I fairly compulsively keep apps closed to free up memory and also don’t keep many extra apps installed.


Thanks for the advice. I keep installed apps to a minimum for data privacy purposes. I’ll see if there is any other fat to trim though


Does Android benefit from a clean install?
Greeting all, I've only ever been an android user, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about this. My Galaxy S21 is starting to have performance issues and I'm curious if a clean install would breath new life into it? Does this help with android devices like a fresh install on a PC, or do android devices just get bogged down with updates? Would it be worth the trouble to back things up and do a factory reset? Thanks!

Thank you for your response on this. I’ll dig in a bit to see if this will work or not.


From what I can find Verizon supports n77 , n260, n26, n2, n5, n66.

The listed Specs for the Zenphone 10 shows the following.

US version DC-HSPA+ (DL/UL): 42Mbps / 5.76Mbps ; LTE 7CA (DL/UL) 2.0Gbps / 211Mbps 5G NR FR1 (DL/UL): 4.92Gbps / 0.55Gbps

5G Non-Standalone (NSA): n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n38, n40, n41, n66, n71, n77, n78

5G Standalone (SA): n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n38, n40, n41, n66, n71, n77, n78

FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 30, 66, 71)

TD-LTE (Bands 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)

WCDMA (Bands 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 19)

EDGE/GPRS/GSM (2, 3, 5, 8)

Does that seem like enough overlap?


Thank you for your response. Did you have any issues with 5g on any of these phones?


If thats the case then this just made my day! I’m not really sure how to verify that it works without buying one, but I guess I can do some reading.


Verizon. It sounds like they specifically don’t have the 13 band.


So I’m not personally locked into CDMA vs gsm, its just that the carrier appears to be. The exact quote from the device page is

“[US Version] Compatible with GSM Networks including AT&T, T-Mobile and MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) who utilize AT&T and T Mobile networks. This device is not compatible with CDMA Networks such as: Verizon, Sprint and US Cellular”

Looking at it more, it sounds like the problem is specifically the 13 band not being supported by the device.


Its not that I want it. Its what my carrier uses. I would consider changing, but I’d have to get my family to cone with me.


CDMA Device Options?
I'm looking for an upgrade on my CDMA carrier in the US and it really seems like my only options are Samsung, Pixle, Motorola, or IOS. Am I missing something or do companies just not support this technology? I got excited about the zenphone 10, but it looks like it is GSM only.
