    internet privacy and reducing data

    Then I think you’re ready to make the full jump to FOSS. I was into Linux when I was a little pre-teen, and I’ve only gotten more into it as big data hungry mega corporate induced culture preyed upon us.

    I still use Twitch and Discord but I finally deleted my data on Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and rn I’m working on doing the same for Microsoft and Google. Goodbye Android.

        I should have been more specific. I know AOSP is a thing. It’s not what I want.

        Was not clear enough, I ditched Googled Android for technically AOSP. LG V40, currently on LineageOS, jumping ship to Evolution X probs this week.

        Although I’ve been paying close attention to PostmarketOS and as soon as a better-esh phone than mine gets dialy driver support by the community I’m finally making the full switch to Linux.

          I’m currently using GrapheneOS on a Google Pixel 6a (a legitimate way to degoogle, ironic as it may sound). I used to run LineageOS on my previous phone.

          I have tried porting pmOS to one of my old phones for fun, but never succeeded unfortunately. Maybe it will be a feasible option in the future?

            Google Pixel 6a

            I almost got one second hand but the Qi charge was a deal breaker.

            Maybe it will be a feasible option in the future?

            Even if it isn’t, Phosh itself is still going strong to the point that I can see it 99.9% merged into GNOME master.

                You’re right. I haven’t catch up with Mobile. I actually stopped using GNOME personally but I’ll won’t lose track since I gotta maintain my partner’s laptop on vanilla Fedora.

        Pixel 7 Pro for personal use and an iPhone 14 Pro for work. I would like some of the polish of iOS in Android and some of the ease of use and less restrictions on iOS but both have their pros and cons.

      Absolutely however I do not own a person computer currently as I have to use one for work - when I did own one until recently I usually ran Manjaro on it. I started tinkering with Linux back in the days of early Ubuntu as an alternative to Windows XP :)

        I worked IT for a while, making sure I could run Linux on my work computer was a priority in every job.

          Unfortunately I don’t work in IT - Aerospace Engineer and don’t get a say in IT and operating systems generally!
