From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm running OpenSUSE leap 15.5, When I was on the linux mint, I was using warpinator but using it on openSUSE is troublesome and I wish there was a linux version of blip but unfortunately there is not.

I have a 2-year old android 11 oppo A53, my colleague some small samsung on A10. Installs fine, sync a first time somewhat, then just don't sync a thing.

Oppo has very aggressive battery management.

While I was using one, had to manually turn off battery management for syncthing, and check after major updates....

But worked flawlessly once that issue was solved.

Interesting. I currently use it on a Samsung Galaxy S22 and a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. In the past, I've used OnePlus, Redmi, and Realme devices. Always worked.

Maybe post it in their forum? They're usually very helpful.

That could be a permissions issue that doesn't allow the app to run on background, Maybelline?

Something like this happened on my sister's laptop. She got a new laptop with Windows 11. She followed some website to set up Syncthing, but it wasn't syncing. Turns out, there's some kind of "trusted network" deal that needs to be figured out. (Don't remember the exact term anymore.) Anyway, helped her fix it, and installed Debian Stable on it the next time I was visiting.
