Comment on Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says
idefix@sh.itjust.works 5 months agoI am on Samsung devices right now (phone & tablet) but I’m not 100% convinced and I do not advocate for this brand.
I’m just waiting for a more mature Fairphone & /e/os platform.

Fair phone I could get behind but swapping Apple for Samsung is like swapping Dahmer for Gacey. You’re still getting fucked, they just have different kinks.

Not true. On Samsung devices, at least the Exynos ones, you can install FOSS operating systems like LineageOS or /e/OS. Of course there are still proprietary blobs for drivers, but that’s no different than running GNU/Linux on an Intel microprocessor.

I’d rather use a pixel with Graphene OS.

That’s my issue with Samsung devices: unofficial ROMs are rare. For example on my Galaxy S21 FE, I can’t run LineageOS.

Pixels are completely unaffordable new, still overpriced when secondhand and only really cost normally when EOL. This is just sadly not an option for many people, so Lineage seems more accessible and realistic.
