L4sBotAndroid isn't cool with teenagers, and that's a big problem
eleitlTeenagers. US teenagers, specifically. So definitely no big problem.
Personally for me the problem starts when there is no mobile hardware which supports free/libre OS. It is already visible in the supported hardware list of LineageOS. Large tablets, particularly.
As a teen, I’m glad I’m European. Nobody has mocked me for using an Android from 2019
I’m wondering if it’s tied to how status symbols differ per culture. Its been 20 years, but I don’t remember status symbols mattering much to my environment when I was a teenager in the Netherlands. I wonder how that is now.
