I'm not a gamer except that I've been getting into sgt's puzzle collection, especially galaxies :). Phone calls work, camera works. Playing music works. Haven't stressed it much beyond that. I do use lots of f-droid apps, but the only things that were sluggish were a few of the games I tried. > My windows machine with bitlocker is unbearably slow, at least compared to my > SSD machines.

Using $HOME encryption bit me as I use unison and both the encryption and unison make longer file names. As a result lots of files couldn't be synced because the file name was too long. Could I get a functioning display and screen reader, I would be fine on the phone as well, but I can't, so the encryption is causing me problems in this particular case. Then again, I'm fairly certain my data is safe. Nothing of value to anyone else, but still... ciao, der.hans > On 2015-07-16 15:35, der.hans wrote: >> Am 16.
