Curious about the overlap. I wonder if its actually that much of what appears to be a consensus on Lemmy, or just a loud minority.
Absolutely. I grew up in the 2000s, when Windows online activation or hardware serial numbers were seen as crazy Orwellian shit, and now we are so much worse and nobody cares? What the fuck is wrong with people, do they really buy the propaganda of normality and convenience so much that it completely removes the disgust?
So, yeah, Debian and LineageOS is my current compromise.
Debian and LMDE in my boxes, Lineage Microg in my cellphone. I use a dedicated phone with all the invasive stuff, exclusively for banking. It stays off and safe must of the time.
Yep. On my laptop I dual boot Arch and Arch for noobs (Manjaro), and on my phone I use e/OS, planning to switch to LineageOS at some point
Just Linux on desktop/laptops
I only use it on a computer. I currently have stock OneUI on my phone, but I’ll switch to a fork of AOSP once the 5-year update support ends
How do you plan to switch when Samsung disabled the bootloader unlocking worldwide since OneUI 8? 🙈
(Did you miss the news, pal?)
Nothing gets in the way of the custom ROM community :)
This thread about TWRP for my phone has someone saying that Odin can be used to revert back to OneUI 7
I do, and I’m looking for a smart watch that would let me do the same (with some map that is visible on it, notifications, and music control)
Linux Mint and Grapheneos almost since their inception.
Debian and GrapheneOS
Linux Bazzite in the Family TV/gaming Computer,
Fedora Ultramarine on my main Laptop, One Burner Laptop with Windows for a couple of Apps i havent replaced yet.
Fairphone 4 running Lineage OS for Phone stuff. It sounds silly,but Press and hold the Power Button to Turn in the torch without using the screen is an absolute must for me,and Stock Android still doesnt allow it after all these years!
I just held the power button down for a few sec on my Pixel to see if it turned in the flashlight.
Instead it activated Gemini and made me want to kill myself
Both. Debian and GrapheneOS.
I use Fedora (desktop, laptop), Debian (VMs and server) and LineageOS (phone, duh).
Secureblue and GrapheneOS
FedoraOpenSUSE and GrapheneOSI use some Linux distros as my daily driver on my private computer. I would like to use another OS besides Android on my smartphone as well, but never did the switch, since I fear some necessary apps, such as for banking, will not be properly supported.
both
