  • that’s the thing though, it strips you of the options the four essential freedoms provide.

    and imo it’s not rly an argument. Libre software is free as in freedom and not necessarily free as in beer. You could license it under the (A)GPL, charge for downloads in the Play store or for compiled binaries on ur website and ask for donations on F-Droid.

    You could even do a freemium version where some features are locked in the binaries you distribute and need a license from ur website or smth (for those who don’t want to use Google Play). (iirc SD Maid 2/SE does this)







  • It has no large community nor an organization behind it.
    Leading to a lot of trouble for me personally, it’s the 2nd month now (after multiple updates) that my Gnome wayland desktop hasn’t been working properly at all (like xwayland programmes displaying as a blank transparency, me not being able to start certain ones) and switching to X11 works but it’s buggy af and sometimes freezes for a few second

    I suspect that it has been a problem with the nvidia driver after having updated it and I have never had those problems before

    Don’t get me wrong Glorious Eggroll is doing good work but qa (due to size) leaves smth do be desired




  • Lineage OS is a shitshow when it comes to privacy and security

    (no locked bootloader, using Google DNS by default)

    From what I understand, GrapheneOS has the goals of being the best of the best when it comes to Android security.

    There is and always will be CalyxOS or DivestOS for a wider range of devices (both are still much better than the likes of LineageOS and Pixelexperience)
