  Doing so on the desktop is easy enough. Getting rid of Android appears to be a much harder challenge, though.

    Android is opensource. You can get phones that support ROMs like LineageOS (would recommend a FairPhone) or /e/ (godawful name, good ROM) for example - you can buy the Murena phone for this.

    Linux phones are about 5 years away from mainstream usability, IMO.

      I’m really looking forward to Linux phones. Have been for years. It’s sad that Mozilla and Canonicals ventures didn’t pan out because both had really fun ideas. Hell I say they had the right ideas, it just wasn’t the right time.

      Until banking apps except the use of custom ROMs it will be a major stumbling block to switching to them.

        I’ve never had an issue using banking apps from Lineage. I use 3 different pretty mainstream ones

        I have 3 banking apps installed right now through Aurora Store (FLOSS access to Google Store). They work fine. The only bank that didn’t like my degoogled phone, I dropped.

      I second the recommendation for Fairphone w/ CalyxOS. Feels just like having a Google Pixel running Android. Just way way more private.

      I’ve tried running Replicant and degoogled Lineage OS on an old Samsung phone many years ago. The experience was a bit rough, but tolerable as long as you’re a tech enthusiast and willing to make some sacrifices. Back then it wasn’t quite acceptable to me, because my bank app didn’t work. Then they announced that they were going to phase out the old code paper, so authentication through a mobile app was seen as the only acceptable method going forward.

    Proton keeps getting better and better. I long for the day when I can ditch windows completely and it might not be too far away.

      If by “not too far away” you mean “5+ years ago,” then sure. That’s how long I’ve been gaming Linux-only, anyway.

        How’s Factorio on Linux?

        If I can play that I’ll move.

      Proton is made by Steam, which locks you into their platform.

      However Wine in general, as well as Lutris also keeps getting better which is great.

      • nils@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Proton can also be used by other tools like Bottles. It’s very similar to Lutris but with a more general purpose focus, rather than just gaming.

    What games do you play that aren’t compatible? I don’t play many of the really mainstream games. I think the last game I played that wasn’t compatible at the time was genshin impact.
