Well, Fairphone sells phones with e/OS preinstalled on their website so at the very least they like each other

I think the first part was sarcastic

It’s not a dead end pipe dream but you need to know what to expect. I have been in the industry for about a decade and saw it evolve in the recent years. The way I see it now the developer’s job is completely different than it was before. Many corporations (or at least these I worked for) try to embrace AI as much as possible and think it will take over many domains but usually it boils down to generating more code. It’s expected from me to deliver more so most days I generate stuff just like any developer in the company and that doesn’t require much skill. But when the shit hits the fan (and it does constantly with so much “vibe coding”) my expertise is necessary as I am able to pinpoint issues, quickly investigate and ensure the hole is actually filled (and not covered). But from day to day work I think we’ve lost the most fun part (coding) while turning up all the bullshit (more meetings, shitty documentation, more code reviews where some devs don’t even self-review). Project managers I had the displeasure to work for were the biggest AI embracers, using it to generate superfluous and bloated plans, docs and acceptance criteria which are unnecessarily verbose, filled with errors, misleading info and straight up garbage. And now devs need to untagle all this mess.

Tl;dr - I vibe for work and code for passion. I hope this passion will keep me employable.

I wish you good luck in your journey.

Unfortunately I haven’t tested it so I cannot fully advise on that but I have seen some “repacks” on the high seas where a whole wine prefix with a game already installed was compressed to a single dwar which you can mount and play with configs and saves in your ~.

There’s an interesting project called DwarFS. I have it on my todolist to check it out but as I understand it you basically create a compressed read-only archive that is mountable and readable just like any other disk - https://github.com/mhx/dwarfs . Maybe this is something for your use case?

All of them?

Did they say what is the battery life for AMD version? I see the 20h is for Intel.

I use an emulator from Android SDK which uses KVM as backend AFAIK. Performance is top notch and it doesn’t use too many resources in my opinion
