Nah.

Honda has a much better product in the first place, their engineering approach has always been better than Nissan (I say this having worked on every major brand, and some unknowns).

Nissan is one of the better ones, but they’re still a big step away from Honda.

And Honda was working on hydrogen nearly 30 years ago now, which seems poised to suplant batteries (again, maybe).

Not really, they’ve all had telemetry for probably 20 years.

The cars with satellite radio are even worse (which isn’t saying much, since they put modems in cars about 20 years ago)

Jeep/Chrysler have always been banned from my life.

Garbage. Worse than any other American car company. They even managed to screw up cars made for them by Mitsubishi.

Except companies are already jumping ship to other solutions. One very large company is moving thousands of VMs to an implementation of KVM, virtually eliminating the insane VM licensing.

Broadcom has all but admitted their own solution is inferior, by converting their workstation virtualization to KVM!

To Broadcom’s credit, the writing was on the wall that versions of KVM would be eating their market over the next 10 years (for example, Proxmox), so they’re getting all they can now before their corner on the market weakens.

This is the answer.

Never mix business with personal on devices. That’s bad for both.

Oh, no, I can’t use the McDonald’s app!

Can’t remember the last time I spent money on McDonald’s over priced crap.

Syncthing-Fork has been out for years and has more options too

Not compromised.

They’ve been hypocrites for as long as I can remember.

Wait, did I read that correctly and they replaced the hat with a snowflake?? Hahahaha

And yes, people often forget that generally offense is taken. When it’s intentionally given, it’s pretty clear.

Yep.

But in the Real World, what’s the pragmatic difference between Graphene and a well-managed Lineage or DivestOS device, since security and privacy are both managed via layers?

I’m genuinely not being snarky. I tried running Graphene and had issues, and their support was atrociously condescending and critical, so now I’m running DivestOS instead. I’ve run Lineage on other devices without Google.

You can enable Funnel, which doesn’t require others to have the TS client.

So is termux a containerized Linux? (I haven’t looked into it yet, just on my list). I had assumed it was a VM, guess I was incorrect.

Lots more is holding it back, but I’d agree apps is a huge issue.

It’s still has significant issues with being end-user friendly. Needing to use command line for some things that should be a right click, not supporting right click, ambiguities galore when looking at a package repository, odd defaults in packages that one really wouldn’t expect to have to check (e.g. Selecting RDP connection in a Remote app, but it defaults the security to something other than RDP?)

As for apps, there’s problems like Libre Office devs refusing to support tables in the spreadsheet app, saying data management should be done with a database tool. While they’re not wrong, it takes a LOT more effort to setup a DB than to simply click “make table” in excel, which millions of people are familiar with. I create tables every day for run-of-the-mill stuff that simply doesn’t need a database. No one has time for that.

Or you plug in the most prolific wireless mouse on the planet, that’s been around since 2000 (Logitech), and it doesn’t work. Now pick any random piece of hardware and this is the stuff you run into. You go down the rabbit hole of searching for a solution

Or CAD (which falls in your app argument).

Linux is great for many things (things I run, UnRAID, TrueNAS, Proxmox, etc), it’s just not a great general purpose desktop for the average user, yet.

Even for a server, the UI should always be priority. If you’re not using the desktop/UI, what’s the harm?

When you do need to remote into a box, it’s often when shit’s already sideways, and having an unresponsive UI (or even a sluggish shell) gets old.

A person interacting with a system needs priority.

Even for a server, the UI should always get priority, because when you gotta remote in, most likely shit’s already going wrong.
