And go where? IOS is worse as far as openness and controlling your own hardware. And the Linux phones are not exactly practical for normal use.

- rpdillon 1y agoIf I can't run F-Droid and termux and all that, I have no need for Android supposed freedom. I'll just use an iPhone (it would be the first time!), minimize my use of mobile platforms to the maximum extent I can and stick with Linux laptops. I'm currently researching Android alternatives, including Librem and Jolla C2, and I'm skeptical that those will be compelling. It's just so sad.
- nine_k 1y agoI suspect that many developers publishing on F-Droid, and the F-Droid itself, may obtain registration, and continue to be available, termux and all. But not every developer, of course, would agree to register.
- notrealyme123 1y agoThere are so many apps which just work and don't need updates. All of those will disappear also on F-Droid because of that.
- Hackbraten 1y agoI’ve been daily driving a Librem 5 for two years. It’s not compelling, but I’m surprised at how little all those tiny inconveniences matter in the long run. I think we tend to underestimate our ability to get used to stuff.
- Spivak 1y agoIf both phone OS's are going to be the exact same on user choice then you might as well compare the two on their merits and this is not a comparison Android wins.
