@Tutanota Google is Evil

@Tutanota

Do any of these alternatives actually support the Samsung S-pen stuff?

@Tutanota as someone who runs LineageOS and maintains an app, this will still be a huge hit for the Android foss ecosystem since we will lose 95% of our users. I'm personally looking at Linux Mobile as the only possible escape hatch, not Android-based OSes as they have the same Google problem as Chromium.

I feel it's important now more than ever to support independent efforts like #postmarketOS and help them become viable as a full Android replacement.

@Tutanota

Get off google, shun tech bro products, buy fairphone, root your phone, get control.of your devices.

We are in big trouble.

@Tutanota

Need repair cafes to install de-googled Android and linux.

Never sign in to google? Its pretty great.

@Tutanota

I have so gotta drop #FuckYouGoogle/Android.

@Tutanota
It's worth noting that Google is a member of the #clubofoligarchs 😒

Just sayin'

@Tutanota Hoping for the European Union to stop them.

@Tutanota until Graphene's available to be installed on more types of mobile phones well, I'm not buying a Pixel for reasons several other folks have already given.

@Tutanota unfortunately lineage is not ported to all platforms, frar from that.

From e-mail to making a shopping list/notes comes from F-Droid.

Still, y'know, best of all worlds:

Google provides the justification for many leading manufacturers to produce a variety of devices.

Then the best of those devices get support from third party OS's.

I mean yes, of course Google sucks the big sausage. But Asus and Lenovo and Samsung etc. wouldn't be making all this great hardware for reasonable prices if Google weren't out there pushing Android. And we all benefit when we install LineageOS and similar on those devices.

There's some people who can't afford Pixels like me to install GOS on them, or another third-party OS. I'm personally not a big fan of custom ROMs because I'm pretty sure they'll die over time just by looking what Google is doing with AOSP, trying to make it almost close-source literally

And probably this will affect business that rely on 3rd party software as well...

Damn. The biggest issue is always with "official" apps that don't accept custom roms or other operating systems except Android.
Banking, car sharing, bike sharing, etc.

- I personally daily drive #SailfishOS for more than a decade (commercially supported versions of SFOS even have "Android App Support" running inside a container for "that one app" with no native linux port you can't get without)

- I've heard positive things about #postmarketOS and #UbuntuTouch (but don't have personal experience)

I have commented suggesting that consumers should have a right to install whatever software they want on hardware they own.

I do not know of anywhere that I can go and see a list of all of them.

Here is a nice easy non-coding project for anyone who is interested in this area.

* A list of FOSS phone OSes

* Better still, with strengths/weaknesses comparisons: what each one is good for

* Better still, some tool where you can enter your phone model and it tells you you could run.

(No hate to you, I just wonder about the language)
