Is the first thing I do after installing any custom ROM.

What was your decision process in choosing insular above shelter?

I chose it after someone recommended it to me to run banking apps while rooted. Has worked fine for all my payment and banking apps so far. Haven’t tried freezing and unfreezing as they work without doing these steps.

Too many to choose from. But I would say NewPipe X Sponsorblock/Libretube and Squawker are the most used for me.

Kotatsu is a good one, people often don’t recommend kotatsu. Maybe that’s because tachiyomi offers more features.

Speaking of manga readers, Komikku is also a manga reader on Linux for Gnome. It’s really awesome
