webOS vs Android: Which would you choose?

Cell phone upgrade time is upon me again and I need help deciding.  I have Verizon Wireless and will not be switching (they have the closet tower by my house, maybe half a mile away).  I'm caught between going with an Android phone like the LG Ally or the webOS powered Palm Pre. 

Budget is a concern.  I'm not going to spend $300 on a Droid X especially since I don't believe anything that large is remotely practical.  Likewise, $200 for an old Motorola Droid seems unreasonable given its age.

Future proof is a concern too.  I want decent specs that won't worry me.  The Ally runs a processor that supposedly won't be included when Adobe Flash is released.  HP bought Palm so I'm mostly at ease there but without any real future plans from the HP/Palm crowd, should I be concerned? 

So please weigh in.

Fedora 41 After Install Guide

This is my personal guide that has been revised through numerous Fedora releases and thoroughly vetted by the Linux community. The instructions here may seem familiar for those that referenced the  Fedora 40 Guide . Most instructions remain identical to past versions. I personally test these commands on my laptop and desktop. This guide is intended for the Fedora Workstation edition. The commands will work on the different desktop spins such as KDE and Budgie. Other Fedora editions such as Silverblue are not compatible. Fedora is a very popular Linux distro for  good reason . It is a favorite amongst developers and end users alike. Its also my current and preferred distro. Current Stable Release Fedora 41Workstation and other Spins were released as stable on October 29, 2024.  How To Use This Guide Open a command line, a la Termina...

How to Make Fedora Look Like Ubuntu

  Ubuntu is known for its theming and Unity-esque appearance.  Fedora's theme has improved over the years, but I still largely prefer the appearance of Ubuntu.  It has a certain Mac like modern look to it and the Ubuntu font is among the best available.  To make Fedora look like Ubuntu, you can follow these steps: Open a terminal and run: sudo dnf install gnome-shell-yaru Enable the Yaru theme in GnomeTweaks. Install Tweaks first if needed. sudo dnf install gnome-tweaks Go to the "Appearance" tab and select the Yaru theme for the Shell, Icons, and Cursor. Install Gogh for Terminal Theme Install Gogh from GitHub: sh git clone https://github.com/Gogh-Co/Gogh.git cd Gogh ./install.sh Select the "Clone of Ubuntu" profile for your terminal: gogh clone ubuntu Apply the theme: gogh apply ubuntu Install Ubuntu Fonts : Download the Ubuntu font family from Google Fonts. Copy the font files to the fonts directory: sudo ...
