- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 2 weeks ago:
GrapheneOS was claiming 5-year support IIRC. Apple level support is infeasible with their team size. Qualcomm probably charges super premium for longer firmware support.
- Comment on Dark patterns killed my wife’s Windows 11 installation – OSnews 2 weeks ago:
With Windows you simply have much less problems to solve. Normal people don’t care about jumping through hoops to create local accounts, they’ll just register.
Windows interfaces are designed for easy learning and backed by real telemetry data from millions of systems, like Ribbon menus. On Linux power users run the show so even blatant violations of basic principles tend to stick since the development version is the shipped version and is what they are used to.
- Comment on OpenWRT router 2 months ago:
OpenWrt usually supports a device until it’s infeasible or has no maintainers I believe. Beware of small flash!
Personally I recommend getting either a MediaTek Filogic device or one of those x86 boxes. They have the best FOSS support right now. Don’t expect good Wi-Fi if you went with devboards like OpenWrt One.
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 2 months ago:
The fundamental issue is that the desktops themselves are inferior products. Linux desktop developers spent years arguing which bad solution is better for a solved problem.
The gap is closer now but that’s only because Windows is killing itself.
