I reccomend fedora, great compromise between stability and modern features

From the POV of most ppl here they should either spend a significant amount of money on server side anticheat and accept that lag will significantly increase or just allow Linux to play without anticheat because “there are so many cheaters why even bother”

They dont acturally need to change the liscense at all, despite what most people think (and would logically make sense) AOSP is acturally downstream from Android. So basically as we’re seeing right now if Android doesn’t want to release the source code for something they just need to not push it to AOSP. It has been over two months already and Android 16 QPR1 still hadn’t been upstreamed to AOSP nor are they legally required to (they are legally required to publish kernel sources which they have failed to do).

Wait WHAT?!??!?! I didn’t hear that, if it is less than or hell even only slightly below the Index im absolutely buying it.

By poor security I mean poor security in every single possible aspect especially on a mobile device. Due to generally an unlocked bootloader and encryption that either isnt enabled at all or incredibly easy to crack it makes accessing information with physical acess bearly an inconvenience. Furthermore the vast majority of software has no sandboxing whatsoever or incredibly minimal sandboxing.

This article is shared a lot in security circles and I would personally say its amazing, nearly every critique applies to mobile Linux as well.

Thats up to mobile Linux distros, mostly dependant on PostmarketOS and how well it supports a specific device. Generally tho mobile Linux has extremely poor security.

I mean yeah the comment was pretty fair but what did you except saying “Linux doesn’t work” in !linux@programming.dev

Take a look where you are

The Asahi Linux devs still have a while to improve M1 support before Apple drops it

Well at least people can use gamepass as an affordable way to play games, the xbox ally has that… Oh wait :3

(Linux catgirl hug)

:3

Yeah mobile linux cant afford splintering, if its to have any chance everyone needs to back PostmarketOS because quite frankly its the only mobile Linux distro with a future

Theres a difference, some people use desktop Linux as their main desktop OS but very few people use mobile Linux (and significantly fewer use it as their main mobile os).

You have just perfectly described why mobile Linux is never going to take off, the mentality of “I dont personally need x feature therefore it’s not important”. This isnt some sort of complicated thing like nfc payment or bypassing play protect this is literally changing the audio. So many incredibly basic tasks like that require typing multiple terminal commands on mobile Linux. Even if only advanced features like system management required using the terminal it would still be too much for 99% of people (even I wouldn’t use it).

Are you willing to accept being forced to use the terminal for everything? And I mean absolutely everything, even increasing or decreasing the audio during calls

How much less security are you willing to accept? LineageOS is significantly worse in terms of security while PostmarketOS is even wose than LineageOS. Also its not just security but reliability.

Pretty much only good for a headless debian file server

Quite frankly im going to keep using GraphineOS, it doesn’t really matter for me how much Google restricts AOSP code or sideloading. As much as I care about open source I need something secure and reliable.

This is absolutely hilarious, a fully libre phone? What processor are they going to use thats 100% libre? Then what OS will it use? Android-libre? What a joke
