  • And cloudstike did never happen…

    I have Timeshift setup for fast and easy rollback.

    Bad updates will happen to any OS. It is about if you want to update fast and having a rollback plan. There are dostros that updates more slow as they actually do their own testing and hence was not affected at all.

    For me the lock screen instructions worked fine. The kernel update only broke Ghostty but a workaround fix was available the same day. I could also just have booted into the older kernel from Grub.










  • Even if they need special drivers for each device, they have solved it. Lineage OS supports tons of devices. How did they get the drivers? that does not matter. But they got it working or the project would be pretty dead. So the drivers problem is solved, now just make a good next-next-next guide.

    Sure, Lineage OS does not support all kind of devices. But I think they can still have a common, user-friendly, installer process even though the drivers are different.

    I am guessing that they will make a standard for ARM in the future so it will work like any other PC where they can just plug in any random usb device or similar and it just works.




  • too hard

    There are tons of things you have to do succeed to get it to boot Lineage OS or similar. Last time I checked there were no next-next-next installation guide on the phone. It is line trying to install arch linux without the arch installer.

    Yes, I really want to use anything else than Android by Google. Lineage OS would offer more updates. But also possible do install other apps as I have heard it means rooting it which always is required to get Lineage OS?

    I can install debian server on PC. No problem. But on smartphones you are suppose to do some unlocking of bootloader? Then install some TRWP or something to boot into. There you have some unzip tool that you have to find tree(!) files and install them in the right order and be lucky you picked the exact right one(WHY is it not enough with ONE file and wipe/clean is done automatically?). Then you have to do something about recovery I think. IF you succeed installation(I have never succeeded that far), you have to install g-something to get google play to work so you can install apps and get them in working shape. Then when there is a new Linage OS android version you have to repeat everything AGAIN. This is really madness how much extra work and hard it has to be…

    WHY can’t it just be in Android by Google to just install an app called installer Lineage OS - click confirm installation and let it do the rest?!



  • Configuration gui standard. Usually there is a config file that I am suppose to edit as root and usually done in the terminal.

    There should be a general gui tool that read those files and obey another file with the rules. Lets say it is if you enable this feature then you can’t have this on at the same time. Or the number has to be between 1 and 5. Not more or less on the number. Basic validation. And run the program with --validation to let itself decide if it looks good or not.

    Tesla would be screwed the first time they see a new sign. Machine Learning is about learning from the past but if you don’t have seen it before you might be screwed. But humans can actually think,. even stop and Google the new sign.
