Gosh I love linux/root.
I havent needed it on recent androids due to WFH and spending more time on my laptop, but back when I was flying more for work, I was much more into my phone.
Cant remember if it was my motorolla or nexus, but I felt like I had a full fledged laptop in my pocket back then.
Meanwhile, one of the straws that broke the camels back for Windows was the insane difficulty/impossibility of remove bloatware/malware that comes preinstalled with windows 11. In 2023, its mind boggling to think you have easier access to modify a cellphone OS than a desktop OS.
- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoI recently got tired of trying to hack together a sane workflow on the windows computers in the lab at my university, so installed nix-on-droid and gotty on my phone. Now I just open a tab to my phone's IP address and benefit from the big screen and full sized keyboard while still having exactly the tools I'm used to having elsewhere. When I get home and want to resume work on beefier hardware, I just push from my phone, pull from my desktop, and I'm just where I left off, except now with more resources. You have to be a bit austere about your tool choices to make the similarity happen (sorry VSCode), but it feels like a bit of a superpower just the same.
