Hi all!

I just got my first Android phone, A Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 Pro. They're quite impressive, these newfangled pocket computers - they even have telephone capabilities

Coming from desktop and command line OSs over the last 45 years, it's a strange experience. Hard things are easy, and easy things are hard is my experience so far....

Hoping to learn a bit more about Android by hanging out here!

Cheers!

Thank you all!

I'm having fun exploring my new phone and learning what it has to offer. There are lots of cool things on it, running Android 16 and OneUi 8.0.

It's definitely a shift in usage patterns and requires some acclimatization for old hands who have CRT ASCII screens and command lines interfaces in their blood. I've not been under a rock for the last few decennia, but the phone style UIs and features are far removed from modern desktop systems. That's part of the fun , I guess
