> For mobile, we have PostmarketOS, Phosh, Ubuntu Touch. I really must try living in them, is it on me? IDK, our government even has an identity app for iOS and Android. I should not be using it, I should stick to web. But its so much more convenient. I'm just weak, aren't I?
Don't forget GrapheneOS, LineageOS and other de-googled FOSS Android Versions
- fsflover 1y agoThese aren't GNU/Linux, they have to follow Google's development strategy. It's like fighting with Chrome by using Chromium.

- fsflover 1y agoYou can't run AOSP on any existing hardware. Except maybe Pinephone and Libem 5, and only in theory. Also, you should read all the good arguments on HN why you shouldn't use Chromium even though it's technically FLOSS.
