If you have/get a Pixel you don’t even need to be tech-savvy. You literally just plug the phone into your PC, navigate to the Graphene webpage and click “install” right in the browser.
You should probably edit your comment to clarify that they don’t listen to you.
“Spying” doesn’t really have a clear definition in this context. Amazon employees have been caught spying on customers through their cameras, and giving away clips to authorities without “owners’” consent, consult or notification.
I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?...
I couldn’t possibly recommend it to anyone who is not a programmer. It doesn’t work for shit. The simplest and most basic things like just installing software is nigh-impossible for normies.
We can’t even get widespread adoption on workstations, what are the chances we’ll ever get them on mobile?
It’s all the same problems. There aren’t nearly enough people using it for developers to spend their time developing compatible versions of their software, much less ones with a mobile-friendly interface.
Maybe they’ll work with PWAs but those still suck.
Would really love to but have yet to see basic phone functionality covered in a way that isn’t a painful compromise. Stock Android is a privacy nightmare, which is why I left it.
I’ve been using GrapheneOS for about a year now and it’s a giant leap in privacy and security (much better than iOS), with very little compromise in functionality.
The only phones that cost that much are either several years old (in which case you can include used Pixels) or are riddled with bloatware and spyware and the absolute cheapest of materials that won’t last long enough to make buying it even make any financial sense.
Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch. I am relatively comfortable with Debian having used it for a while on my web server as well as school laptop, but I am concerned about using it on my...
There are some gaming focused OS’s such as Nobara (Fedora) and also that are “couch gaming” OSs that incorporate controller-only UIs such as ChimeraOS (Arch) and Bazzite (Fedora).
am still figuring out how i get on the other platforms from here
Not sure what you mean by that. You can’t log into a Mastodon server with a Lemmy account. And I don’t think you can follow a Mastodon user from Lemmy. They’re just designed to be separate, for good reason.
Lemmy “communities”, PeerTube “channels”, Mobilizon “Groups”, Kbin “magazines”, and Mastodon “Groups” are all functionally the same thing in the Fedi.
You can follow Lemmy communities on Mastodon as well, it just has a different (bad) UI. That’s why you’ll occasionally see users on Lemmy annoyingly @ 12 people in a reply.
Heya! I’m looking to install Linux for the first time on parts from my old pc builds to use as a media centre and multiplayer gaming system in my living room. Something with as clean as possible interface with room for customization would be cool. Oh and support for my old nvidia gpu....
I don’t really know, other than the other 2 are updated on a nearly daily basis and Chimera is Arch-based (like SteamOS) with Gnome UI while Bazzite is Fedora-based.

How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

The Linux Experiment Channel (From Nick) is on Peertube, and it federates right into Lemmy as a community
Really, how awesome is that?...
Linux distribution for gaming and media centre.
