  • neo store needs the permission in order to run in the background and download apps. battery optimization may close neo store if other apps need more ram. it needs a persistent notification in order to show the user that it’s still running. that’s the modern way to show the user that an app is always running. GNOME is developing the same thing which is very good. Imaging facebook showing that notification, you’d know that facebook is running always in the background. Without that notification, the user knows that it’s not running. You may silence the notification. It takes some time to adapt to the new behavior and accept that there are always notifications running. you want the app to run, hence the notification is good.

    I highly discourage dual booting as a novice.

    Back when I dual booted I had so many issues and things to look out for not to break the system, and distro hopping is difficult etc… just get rid of windows

    try Ubuntu, Mint, or Pop!_OS.

    Mint and pop are basically ubuntu. For the end user, especially a beginner, there’s 0 difference between them.
