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.

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.

I’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 what i use as well.

All these corporations looking to kill off their own relevance. They all in the same death cult or something?

Corporate poopification.

That’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 joined the metaverse via mastodon four years ago and lemmy 2 years. Guess that makes me a fucking hipster, lol. Though i’ll admit since the reddit fiasco i dumped reddit completely and made /kbin my home and been using the fediverse quite a lot more.

Yeah i’ve had problems with both Mint and Pop with broken packages. Easy to fix with synaptic package manager, but annoying.

I remember having a c64 with a 300 baud modem in the 80s, then Amiga500 using 600 baud modem, then after that PC 1200/2400, then went cable. Honestly i don’t miss the hardware limitations, but i “get” the feeling of new frontierness.
