dude, people wonder why i shit on android constantly, why would you ever produce a product that can just, do shit like this, it’s awful. (to be clear, i hate IOS as much, for the same reasons)
And its only worse with manufacturer flavors of android, samsung loves shipping a bunch of useless apps that you can’t even remove.
and no, i don’t want to hear about rooting. Just call me when you guys figure out how to make an actual OS.
it seems good, until you realize it’s a nightmare process that only works on “most phones” requiring some kind of crackpot technique pulled straight from someones ass that happened to work.
only to get moderately more access to googled android and oops, it’s still mostly shit. Oh good, i can probably just install an android derivative, and oops, it’s also mostly dogshit, just less worse and more annoying.
I did not have any problems installing LineageOS on my Galaxy at all and it solves most of the issues you listed. Helps with battery life etc. It’s not just mostly degoogling.
android, shockingly, it’s almost like it explains why i hate it so much lmao.
I’ve heard some decent things about lineage, but i feel like i would still hate it, just moderately less than android since it probably won’t give me aids as opposed to android.
One of these days i’m either getting a linux phone, and just using linux (which doesn’t absolve me fully of the terrible hardware platform that phones are based on, unfortunately) that or i’ll pull some shit out of my ass and use a PDA or just make some shit out of thin air that aligns with my requirements. One of the two.
I want control over my device.
if it makes any more sense, i’m a linux user at heart, so linux has ruined me because it’s essentially the perfect OS design, aside from how aggressively modular it is. I essentially just want linux, but turbo specific for android and it’s hardware. And ideally, the hardware would be less dogshit, a proper BIOS standard would be nice for one, rom flashing is kinda fucking silly ngl. Proper hardware support in the open source space would also obviously help a lot, qualcomm and other providers are quite dogshit about that in particular, which causes a lot of problems.
I won’t nag you to switch until you have a second device handy haha that’s when I did, but switched from a secondhand iOS device bought off a friend for almost nothing
yeah, i’ll get around to it someday, either through buying something like a pinephone or just acquiring an android phone and fucking around with it, though i think most android phones are rather boring so who knows how long that will take lol.

this seems like a good situation to hear about rooting but go off

that’s nice, personally i just think that anything android derived is essentially a boat made out of ice.
So what do you use instead? Not iOS I hope LOL. LineageOS is the best option I’ve found. I’m not a Tech Philosopher, I want control over my device.
