The problem with Android is it is very invasive and in my opinion untrustworthy. How many of these Android OS’s from various vendors are not kept up to date, with unpatched vulnerabilities because they dump support to force upgrade their customers to the next model, when your phone should still be functionally viable. How many apps in the Android ecosystem are just info vacuums? It’s a very predatory ecosystem and i would prefer a libre solution to these scumbag predatory corporations. It blows my mind how people are so numb to the abuses of these companies, they won’t even consider alternatives. Iphones aren’t a viable alternative either unless you’re into joining abusive cults. I have both a Pinephone and a Librem 5, and they work fine if you don’t mind horrible battery life, i just wish we had more alternatives and I’ll put my money towards that endeavor.

FreeBooteR69@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux Distros Evolution - January 2024 Update: Pop!_OS in Decline?5·2 years agoI’m running Pop on my living room pc and it’s fine, looking forward to Cosmic when it arrives. Also have Linux Mint cinnamon on my bedroom pc. Been thinking of going back to Arch, but i’m lazy so i’ll stick with what i have unless i get annoyed enough to switch.

They funny thing about ubuntu touch, it’s harder to install it to a pinephone than it is to a google phone.
This is why i’m enjoying my killswitch case, hides those wrinkles nicely.

This is what i use as well.
FreeBooteR69@kbin.socialto Moving to: m/AskMbin!@kbin.social•Do you use a desktop, phone, or both?2·2 years agoDesktop Linux PC, though lots of time spent gaming on Steam Deck, i just love it’s controls. I have 2 Linux phones, but use them infrequently and only for phone calls/texts. Honestly, i don’t know how people can tolerate the anti-consumer bullshit with Android or iPhone/Apple.

They all in the same death cult or something?

FreeBooteR69@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•whats so good about arch compared to linux mint?1·2 years agoThat’s why you are supposed to check the pkgbuild before installing anything from the aur.
MAONO AU-PM421. Works otb no muss no fuss.
I have a librem 5, i use it to make/receive calls and it seems to work fine, though for anything else it is too anemic. Also eats through the battery like crazy, even shut down, it slowly drains.
FreeBooteR69@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Prigozhin says his forces "are turning our columns around," amid claims of deal brokered by Lukashenko45·2 years agoThe hobgoblin priggy is a walking corpse. You think Saruman would tolerate one of his “white hands” rebelling? Wagner is toast, and it’s going to be enjoyable watching these orcs butcher their own.
When i think of Android i don’t think of it as part of the gnu/linux ecosystem, but a heavily modified linux kernel turned against the user.
