  • On your left you can see adult cherubs that gang-bang you, on the right there are two dead brothers that bang-bang you, below them are hot wax priests that gang-bang you after dripping hot wax on you, lower in the pic there are dragon-butterflies that gang-bang you with their juicy meatballs, in front of the structure on the left there are two sick dragons that gang-bang you (lazily, total bottoms).

    Overall friendly folk.








  • I think all of those (Arch, Gentoo, Void) have unofficial or forked immutable versions. But I’m wondering why the immutable distros aren’t for “tinkerers”?

    But I get it, and agree, current Linux phones arent for non-“tinkerers”, but isn’t that just how all things start in foss world/early unstable non-foss software projects? Surely that wouldn’t be the long-term goal.

    Like Linux RISC-V desktops/laptops, but that is just the beginning.

    Maybe that isn’t true but the original topic was “why Linux phones when AOSP forks exist” and I think “tinkerers” might think this way about Android.

    Oh, definitely, but that is just the first/current stage.

    My added comment is that, besides the tinkerers, AOSP is still in danger of Google (bcs it is by Google) - they are closing/trying to close down there open-sauciness of it (I know, the licences, but megacorp), delaying publishing the sauce code, and in the near future, I’m sure is it, making decisions that would be increasingly hard for AOSP to be used benevolently (they arent at the moment so hard on this bcs driver availability locks down what Android you can install on your phone).

    The phone market and society would benefit long-term of Google wouldn’t have a monopoly in so many key areas.


  • Sorry, I couldn’t follow/I don’t think I understood you.

    Why wound you want or need to run anything via CLI?

    Most Linux users never use anything CLI (similar MacOS & Windows). Why would Linux phone users? And what does that have to do with android app devs?

    The difference between Android and “proper” Linux? You said it:

    But (what I said is that) all of that you can get in various Linux distros too - what I was saying that the basic difference for devs is Google/Android SDK.




  • … so why are eg flatpak apps less secure than Android ones?

    And Play & Apple stores are full of unchecked scam apps. They basically are solving this by securing the os more. Yet apps (even Instagram) can still take pics without your action. I assume they listed in on you too.

    The app (& SDK) argument I think has more to do with user- and dev-base. Something that Microsoft failed at in the mobile market. So basically we need a quality/seamless way of running Android apps on Linux.

    And since we can run Win games on Linux very nicely I think this wouldn’t be that much of an issue … Tho minimal industry support (eg banking apps) is still needed.
