If Proton supports WebDAV: Theres Davx5. Also Theres for sure lots of foss smb and FTP mounting apps

Ah,yes

Just so you know: Alpha men exist too, and there are Penis extensions. So its not Mysoginy, its just Societal assholery, and since we live in a patriarchy, this „society” is mostly Men.

If they were the perfect organism, and they are, they would just use their acid to dissolve everything they couldn’t digest and build their organic structure with it

Google is not restricting Sideloading.

Its the same way Apple is doing it. You just need to buy a Signaturen from them via ID, and you have to sign every app.

Graphene is working with a major phone Maker and will be releasing a Graphene compatible phone in 1-2 years

Adb can uninstall Gservices and Magisk has a MicroG module

So in your world, a completely locked down phone is better than a phone that you can easily open up again by flashing a ROM or replacing Gservices for MicroG with adb + Magisk?

Apple now allows sideloading of apps

Apple allows as much sideloading as google wants to next near.

Yes, you can install from .iPa files, but you still need to pay 100€ a year to be able to sign the IPA files, otherwise you cant run them. as much as with googles new policy you now need to pay 25€ + your full name to get a signature, to sign the Apks with

Just wait until that guy learns about Crypto

I’m just imagining their pure rage when reaching out to a Bitcoin Dev/maintainer whatever with something like „I don’t know what my Wallets name was, idk my 10 phrase password, but give me back my 10$ in Btc right now”

And then pasting this again with the Title DONT BUY BTC THEY SCAM YOU

Dude, treat every service like your wallet.

You have an Email, you have a password. If you forget these, consider everything the Support does as an extra service and not the bare minimum.

Oh shit, hes hot

CalyxOS didnt Pause Updates bEcAusE iTS sOoOo hArD now.

They did it because they Senior Devs are Retiring and they are switching out the Cryptographic Keys, so their Security wont be compromised.

my own fault for wanting to play competitive multiplayer games online on Linux ?

Yes, that’s what I said. If you are able to play competitive stuff nowadays, your nerves should be able to put up with the pain of dual booting.

They are expensive as fuck (500€ for the 9a, 700 for the 9) but since my only other options are either

• Phone with more Bloatware and no unlockable bootloader, so I have to hope to be able to install MicroG myself (smasnug) for 700€

Or

• Phone with Lineage ROM, but not even a third of the updates (3 years vs 8) and even worse repairability score than pixel (Nothing) for 700€

I’ll happily buy a 12a when the extended support for my 7 ends.

The only games that won’t run are Battlefield and Cod, LoL, etc

And to be honest, if you play those games, you are most likely a machorchist anyway.

Shh, dont tell him lobotomies became mandatory on birth since Gen Z, and there are only few who still know how this magical phone they are using every day works, let alone know what an IP address is

So, you typed it into your browser, or codeberg, or obtainium, or whatever, and nothing came out?

https://codeberg.org/Sergey_Paradox/FreeTube

That’s the joke: they are still using it. Every comment section I look through via newPipe is full of these Clippy Pfps. And they are written After the Clippy PFP thing. And, like, NOT writing comments would be the least effort, in which you could „boycott” them.

Truely astonishing levels of stupidity.

Well, what about just not using your Google Account for stuff like YouTube, and instead using something like Freetube for newpipe?

That would be… At least a better Start them handing over you data to google, BuT iN sTyLe!1!!111elf by using a clippy Pfp

For the most part its because most people who are in such Forums know way more about Linux than the Indian call center, and would much more like to think about real questions, such as actual comparisons between software and specific appliances.

The Questions you are asking had already been answered hundreds of times in other threads. There are whole megathreads about these Questions.

People have thrown hundreds of hours into writing Wiki pages so you can choose what distribution is for you based on literal essays, if not even longer, detailing the exact philosophy of every distribution, what it is for, what it isn’t for, and what to expect from it.

Yet you choose to disregard those works from people, instead deciding to ask for yet another Tl;Dr, because you just can’t be bothered to type your Question into searXng or Reddit or Kagi or even frickin’ ChatGPT, which would all be able to answer it.

No, not even that. You can’t even be bothered to do the bare minimum and offer actual information to the people trying to help you in their free time, making them have to painfully dig through your pile of horsecrap until they even understand what it is you want help with.
