Sahwa'I'll believe it when I see it': Windows 11 users are cynical about Microsoft's promises to fix the OS and stop pushing AI
Fair FairyWhat sucks is - windows is the easiest to jump off. There are tons of viable alternatives.
There is nothing for mobile.
SturgistI mean. There ARE mobile os options. Just you need to have very specific phones, and they’re all old and outdated tech.
MonkRomethey’re all old and outdated tech.
You can put graphene os on the newest pixel if you really want. Imo, you shouldn’t be giving Google the money anyway. Makes more sense to buy an older refurbished pixel from a trusted 3rd party. The newer phones are not really major increases in tech anymore anyway. I’m still rocking a pixel 6 pro and it feels functionally equivalent to the newer phones but it’s 5 years old.
Quirky QuinnBuying used still inflates the price, giving Google more money. Plus, Google is now sending you firmware updates. I like Fairphone, and there are a few ROMs you can flash onto it. But unfortunately not grapheneOS. Maybe LineageOS (without MicroG) would be the least googly, but there would still be some Google bits and bobs you’d have to turn off. /e/OS is probably a bit more degoogled, except for MicroG. No andtoid is completely degoogled, it seems. There is a promising Linux phone coming to Europe soon though, the Jolla phone, and I’m hoping it gets good reviews and then comes to the US.
