I recently installed GrapheneOS on a pixel 7 pro. Waaaay easier than lineageOS. As long as you have the drivers installed on your pc and opposable thumbs, it’s a breeze.
Problem is that I bought a 5a and had the screen die just out of the extended warranty and they wouldn’t help me out. Giving money to Google is always a mistake, never again.
Not saying people should buy Google phones, but I did replace my 5a’s screen with iFixit’s guide. Took one evening with no prior phone repair expertise.
That’s really nice to hear, lineage on a tablet a while back took quite a bit of work to get installed. Nevermind then having to get it able to load apps that needed Google.
Still a bit salty they gave almost no warning before retiring that image though, one month notice that they were getting rid of it was dissapointing to say the least
Imagine devices you can actually repair yourself. I looked into switching the battery on my phone the other day and in the process it seems I could very easily break my display if I am not SUPER careful. It’s literally easier to swap the display than the battery.
Imagine buying a piece of hardware knowing full well that doesn’t work the way you want it to and then bitching that it doesn’t work the way you want it to
Imagine buying a piece of hardware and actually owning it.
grapheneos, calyxos, lineageos, etc.
If these supported phones I actually wanted I’d consider it. Even better if they weren’t a pain in the ass to install.

The screen costs more than the phone is worth, so I didn’t bother with it.
I never buy new phones, only used on ebay after Christmas
Yeah I know, just a matter of a few buttons.

It is Android based, literally have Google Play on their screenshots.
Still got to worry about firmware. We don’t own shit.

puri.sm
Would have been nice if they actually shipped devices to people who paid.
I’m not sure what you mean, but they do ship devices. Whether or not they are interesting is another topic.
Do you have a link to their store? I haven’t seen one
They finished shipping their backlog of Librem 5 crowdfunds and preorders last year…
After diving every buyer stress for over a year.
purism is literally a scam company and shouldn’t be promoted

There are no phone OSes that work the way we want, so we should just never say anything, as consumers?
LineageOS does pretty well for me. Don’t know what youre talking about.
Everything we think of as owned is only borrowed from the Earth
You’re going to give it back?
I mean, I think it’s a silly point, but yeah, ultimately we’re going to give it all back
I will be taking my shit to the grave! Fuck, that’s literally giving it back to the Earth.
No you won’t. When you die you lose control of your bowel muscles. You won’t be able to retain your shit.
