The problem with Android is it is very invasive and in my opinion untrustworthy. How many of these Android OS’s from various vendors are not kept up to date, with unpatched vulnerabilities because they dump support to force upgrade their customers to the next model, when your phone should still be functionally viable. How many apps in the Android ecosystem are just info vacuums? It’s a very predatory ecosystem and i would prefer a libre solution to these scumbag predatory corporations. It blows my mind how people are so numb to the abuses of these companies, they won’t even consider alternatives. Iphones aren’t a viable alternative either unless you’re into joining abusive cults. I have both a Pinephone and a Librem 5, and they work fine if you don’t mind horrible battery life, i just wish we had more alternatives and I’ll put my money towards that endeavor.

FreeBooteR69@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux Distros Evolution - January 2024 Update: Pop!_OS in Decline?5·1 year agoI’m running Pop on my living room pc and it’s fine, looking forward to Cosmic when it arrives. Also have Linux Mint cinnamon on my bedroom pc. Been thinking of going back to Arch, but i’m lazy so i’ll stick with what i have unless i get annoyed enough to switch.
They funny thing about ubuntu touch, it’s harder to install it to a pinephone than it is to a google phone.
FreeBooteR69@kbin.socialto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’10·2 years agoI think we are getting close to the Deckard being announced, the successor to the Index. Hopefully they do hand controller refresh/redesign, the joystick potentiometer they used in the Index Controllers were dog shit.
This is what i use as well.

FreeBooteR69@kbin.socialto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•Suggestions on a good bag to carry steam deck and other things like controller, keyboard, mouse, etc?1·2 years agoI bought a mini kadet 5 liter sling bag from chrome industries. It’s a decent quality bag.
I have a librem 5, i use it to make/receive calls and it seems to work fine, though for anything else it is too anemic. Also eats through the battery like crazy, even shut down, it slowly drains.

Buy it now you aren’t going to see another steam deck version for another three years probably.
Is this the first actual discounted price sale for Steam Deck?
I loved it and thought it was worth the price of admission.
When i think of Android i don’t think of it as part of the gnu/linux ecosystem, but a heavily modified linux kernel turned against the user.
