Imagine buying a piece of hardware and actually owning it.
grapheneos, calyxos, lineageos, etc.
If these supported phones I actually wanted I'd consider it. Even better if they weren't a pain in the ass to install.
I recently installed GrapheneOS on a pixel 7 pro. Waaaay easier than lineageOS. As long as you have the drivers installed on your pc and opposable thumbs, it's a breeze.
Problem is that I bought a 5a and had the screen die just out of the extended warranty and they wouldn't help me out. Giving money to Google is always a mistake, never again.
Not saying people should buy Google phones, but I did replace my 5a's screen with iFixit's guide. Took one evening with no prior phone repair expertise.
The screen costs more than the phone is worth, so I didn't bother with it.
I never buy new phones, only used on ebay after Christmas
Yeah I know, just a matter of a few buttons.
That’s really nice to hear, lineage on a tablet a while back took quite a bit of work to get installed. Nevermind then having to get it able to load apps that needed Google.
Still a bit salty they gave almost no warning before retiring that image though, one month notice that they were getting rid of it was dissapointing to say the least
blah! Android forks!
postmarket os is where it's at!
or Ubuntu Touch if you're... that type of person.
It is Android based, literally have Google Play on their screenshots.
Still got to worry about firmware. We don't own shit.
Imagine devices you can actually repair yourself. I looked into switching the battery on my phone the other day and in the process it seems I could very easily break my display if I am not SUPER careful. It's literally easier to swap the display than the battery.
puri.sm
Would have been nice if they actually shipped devices to people who paid.
They finished shipping their backlog of Librem 5 crowdfunds and preorders last year...
After diving every buyer stress for over a year.
I'm not sure what you mean, but they do ship devices. Whether or not they are interesting is another topic.
Do you have a link to their store? I haven't seen one
purism is literally a scam company and shouldn't be promoted
Everything we think of as owned is only borrowed from the Earth
You're going to give it back?
I mean, I think it's a silly point, but yeah, ultimately we're going to give it all back
I will be taking my shit to the grave! Fuck, that's literally giving it back to the Earth.
No you won't. When you die you lose control of your bowel muscles. You won't be able to retain your shit.
Imagine buying a piece of hardware knowing full well that doesn't work the way you want it to and then bitching that it doesn't work the way you want it to
There are no phone OSes that work the way we want, so we should just never say anything, as consumers?
LineageOS does pretty well for me. Don't know what youre talking about.
But only supports expensive devices, as far as I’m aware.
nope. I used it on my 150$ phone for 5 years!
If you can't find an OS that works for you between android, iOS, the multitude of custom android roms, symbian, and Manjaro on the pinephone, then I suggest you either stop being so picky or make your own.
The true Linux alternatives for phone are not usable like android and iOS are. Android and iOS are still garbage. I am unable to make my own. However I am also able to see obvious faults. Luckily on computers we have Linux, but we really don't have options like that on phones. The best we have is custom Roms but it's not the same as having a bunch of really good options.
Sounds good to me. Then these annoying posts might stop.
By that logic you should not have written that comment
And yet, here we are. Get it yet?
No
