I've used it for a year without Google play services. The basic OS utilites (camera, SMS, file manager, "phone" app, etc) are part of the Lineage base and don't need play services. You can also install f-droid which has

The Amazon thing is opt-in now. I use 16.04 as my desktop daily driver, because I like Unity and can't force myself to use Gnome shell, and it's a a great system. Ubuntu and its derivatives (Mint, xubuntu, kubuntu, etc) are system

Nobody talked about forcing Nvidia to open up their IP. Their product is just bad from the driver point of view, and we don't want to buy it. Also, I don't think that someone is bad for making use of crappy laws such as IP laws, b
