TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 days agoI’m not sure what you mean? Are you saying Linux is a better alternative to windows than, e.g., LineageOS is to android?
I can fully encrypt my PC/BIOS password/secureboot if I have Linux on it. If I relock my bootloader with Android then I’m completely fucked if anything goes sideways. If I leave it open the phone gives a fucking warning on boot that the phone is unlocked and may be insecure and that warning can’t be disabled or locked. (Pixels)
I hope Android gets taken away from Google, 11 was the last somewhat useful upgrade.
In my opinion the last great was Android 7. Just getting more locked down since.
But also it was kinda funny when manufacturers left over some of their software. I think it was ZTE which had a hidden menu to change the fucking IMEI.
conveniently my phone’s last update was 11 (god I wish there were more security updates past 11 2023)
Why would you admit that where others can potentially use that information to attack your device? Some cards you have to play close to the chest.
fair, but I am going to try and get a pinephone soon anyway ¯_(ツ)_//¯
I’m saying it’s better known and more accessible.
PCs are fundamentally designed to be OS-agnostic, Android hardware is not.
Better known, sure, but idk if it’s fair to say it’s more accessible. I’ve had less trouble using custom ROMs on my smartphones than I’ve had with Linux on PC

It’s true. Camera apps for example are much, much worse than the OEM version.

Unless it’s quite shitty.
I’ve got Ulefone, and the default audio source (software) is dogshit quality. And that’s what the camera app uses, unless I use something like Open Camera where I can manually select “Unprocessed” rather than default.
For the idea
Default: files.catbox.moe/d2n7sg.flac
Unprocessed: files.catbox.moe/xf9ab8.flac
Very obvious, at least with earphones.
