UX is polished enough to not be painful

This one requirement I believe to be already met. Mobile kde, for one, is pretty nice. I believe the bottleneck of linux phones are really in the hardware

I found myself using my phone less and less too, and to be honest, I’m even feeling healthier mentally. Portable devices were supposed to improve our life, not make it worse. Big tech did something really terrible to phones :(

Fun fact; Here in Brazil, the cheaper tv models being sold are 720p, and a lot of people buy them and don’t even know what video resolution is, neither they feel like missing something lol

My advice is to always go in short steps, proving the ground and getting to know the alternatives. I’d recommend installing f-droid and having fun testing all the free apps you can, removing google stuff one by one, then, after feeling comfortable, trying a custom rom, and when you eventually need a new phone, looking for a model more friendly to degoogling.

And not only an easy thing to do, but something that bothers the big tech a lot! If it didn’t bother, they wouldn’t care to invest so much in making it harder for us, and if it bothers them, it means we’re on the right track.

Linux market share is increasing even in the charts with all OSes, desktop and mobile.

So, if we consider a classroom, it’s roughly 1 or 2 students using linux in each class. I don’t think it’s too far off from real life experience.

Let the long awaited convergence be finally true!

I’d prefer that firefox os had caught on and turned into a big player today

Congrats!

Is there a viable way to block only unnecessary js, while loading the minimum necessary to properly render the sites?

doesn’t dir aready do the same as ls?

Hope you’re enjoying the freedom, fellow FOSSer :)

Don’t threaten, just do it!

I don’t get why people are so stubborn to move away from corporate products.

They count based on useragent info from accesses to websites using statcounter analytics.

That’s true. Your first comment was a bit confusing, sorry.

Wait, what security breach implications?

Me, who uses low end hardware and can’t spend several gigabytes for simple web apps that I can run locally for 10% of the hardware resources of the web equivalent.

You can check the graph for all OSes from all devices combined in statcounter, and linux is also showing a growth, so it’s a real increase in usage.

Is your 2 in 1 one of those baytrail cpus with some atom z sonething? If so, they’re really problematic with linux, since they were released, due to some obscure stuff in their soc. I remember even people who formatted and reinstalled windows losing functionality.
