And what exactly does that have to do with GrapheneOS?

not necessarily… I mean If they run under the same VM, I’d be fine with that as well…but having a sandboxed wrapper would for sure be nice.

if there was something that could run android apps virtualized, I’d switch in a heartbeat

At least you learned a lot along your journey, while getting paid for it. So it’s not entirely a waste of time.

On the contrary, I’d still argue it’s a good distro for beginners, but not for newbies. people who are tech-sawy and not hesitant to learn new things.

I jumped straight into EndeavorOS when I switched to Linux, since arch was praised as the distro for developers, for reasons.

Sure, I had some issues to fight with, but it taught me about all the components (and their alternatives) that are involved in a distro.

So, once you have a problem and ask for help, the first questions are sorts of “what DE/WM do you use?.. is it X11 or wayland? are you using alsa or pipewire?”.

Windows refugees (like me) take so many things for granted, that I think this kind of approach really helps in understanding how things work under the hood. And the Arch-wiki is just a godsend for thst matter. And let’s be real, you rarely look into Arch-wiki for distros other than Arch itself, since they mostly work OOTB.

Yeah… I also miss doom-scrolling unixporn and ergomechkeyboards in here.

I guess we can expect another burst of Reddit refugees

Word… this is why I used spotify for a long time, when it used to be a good service… pirating wasn’t worth the hassle.

now almost everything is worth the hassle

WinRAR

no local media collection.

Jellyfin uses the *arr suite, but Odin relies on a debrid service. The benefit is that nothing is hoarded on the device itself.

For USB sure… it’s kinda “newish”. But, I mean, they could’ve intervened much sooner, when glue became the standard for assembling phones.

Waterproof

Strongly agree!

Looking back, I suspect this was only an argument to make them hard to repair, as always, just worded in a sense like it’d benefit the customer.

FFS, just add some rubber… We’ve used rubber in condoms for centuries (kinda) succesfully, what made them think glue’d be better… I ain’t gonna put glue on my ding-dong, if that’s what they’re after all these years.

while 2027 is better than nothing, I still wonder why it took them so long. Glue in smartphones has been around for probably a decade now.

Also, I think, anything that has a battery, should be user replacable… even teeny-tiny earbuds.

Can we bring back the charging as well, and not just the USB cable… Oh, and while you’re at it, screws instead of glue, to replace batteries would be awesome.

Thx!
