So... as far as my feature phone journey is concerned...
First I got the Nokia 2720 flip, about half a year ago. Then I kind of felt that I need the candy bar type and got the 6300 4G, which has a bad camera. Turns out, I don't even check my emails any more on the phone, even though I could. The camera I use very rarely, but it is still more important than email or whatsapp. I very rarely use whatsapp on that phone. Now I think that the 3210 4G 2024 is interesting, mostly because it is available in a nice turquoise color and it has USB-C. But it has no whatsapp or email, so I will piss off some friends and family if I get it and use it.
I don't like Whatsapp, I don't really want to use it but most people that I know use it. My parens will certainly forget that I won't have Whatsapp on the phone, only on the tablet.
I am kind of angry about Whatsapp.

I think I will discover that actually I don't need a mobile phone at all.

@Faith Ekstrand 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 I made vkdt run without the proprietary Nvidia driver using nvk, but it's incredibly slow, like slower than with a weak integrated gpu.
OS: Manjaro
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1660 Super
nvk version: vulkan-nouveau-git from AUR

vkdt is a new raw photo and video editor that is using vulkan for gpu acceleration

Edit: The first more or less successful test was on Manjaro which has an older kernel. Now I installed vulkan-nouveau-git on Garuda and added a kernel parameter for Nvidia power management and now vkdt seems to be actually usable. Some modules like deconv seem to be a bit slow and building up one thumbnail takes like 1 or 2 seconds. But editing/darkroom mode is more or less ok, although not as fast as with the proprietary driver.
