  • As someone who also isn’t from US, our lunches, elementary up until high school we got full lunches. Oh, and in elementary there was even option for brunch!
    So you got the full

    1. Drink (Water/Tea/Milk/…)
    2. Soup
    3. Main meal
    4. Snack (cake/pudding/orange/banana/…)

    Oh, and in HS I could also choose between A/B based on preference for the main.
    I checked a few HSs now quickly, seems around €2.50/day for lunches. Though who knows about private schools.


  • I’ll add something:

    For the DNS I use NextDNS. They allow for control and monitoring. I recommend not using the block page. It took me months to figure out what was (exactly - I didn’t see the app behave like that before) eating my data, but resolving to IP with different service makes certain apps go nuts. For example, NetMonster was trying to make connection every second. Also some apps don’t seem to care about HTTPS and just proceed to show whatever is shoved at them.
    Without block page, they get 0.0.0.0 and won’t send garbage to NextDNS.
    I used the RethinkDNS firewall app to track this down.
    I checked my screenshots, it was 2.3KB per request. With 24/7 on data, that’s 5.9GB/month of garbage. Yikes. And that’s just 1 app.

    For DPI, above or equal to 600, you get tablet UI. This changes layout of some apps and gives you app icons and app drawer next to navigation buttons, if you’re not using gestures. I usually use 705dp. A bit of extreme for most.
    Oh, and reportedly high DPI settings used to cause boot loop on some MIUI devices, but it can cause glitches on some other devices (broken navigation on Moto G54 5G when I tried).








  • I only have experience with Plasma, but on X11 when I tap on the screen, it emulates a mouse click where I tap. And it also does when I swipe my finger, like holding a clicked mouse and moving the pointer. And gestures don’t work, though I think that one can be fixed.

    Wayland just works. When I want to select text, press and hold like on a phone. When scrolling something, I just swipe it like on a phone (except for LibreOffice, that one is an absolute mess on Wayland). Especially nice with drawing programs. Stylus acts just like what I described with finger on X11 - it controls mouse pointer.
    In effect this means that with fingers I can move around and zoom, while with stylus I can draw or select text.

    And then GTK 4.20 breaks Rnote and I can only use it via Xwayland…

    Anyway, for a touchscreen device, I had more luck with Wayland.
