Graphene really is the next best thing. If you can get your hands on a used Pixel or splurge for a new one, you won’t regret converting. At least until there’s a production-ready gnuPhone
I don’t really understand why Pixel is that evryone likes/they support.
I can’t accept the fact that there is no external sd card support.
I believe I am getting old because I am very stuck on this point, even more than the headphone jack.
Nevermind I just saw Motorola is actually making a deal with gaphene OS. They were my next future phone with sd cards and even styluses- if this goes through, can’t wait!
Pixels are the main target of aftermarket ROMs because they are reference Android devices with highly available unlocked developer modes. Most companies producing phones do things like add propriety changes that require substantial workarounds for relatively basic hardware functionality and make it much more difficult to even install an aftermarket ROM.
Really this is all a consequence of capitalism itself and the need to lock in ecosystems to establish controlled markets (allowing for controlling one’s own profit). Every phone could be fully unlockable and hackable by the end user, but companies specifically prevent this in order to maximize their own profits.
Yeah but apple actually takes care of its customers. They are one of the few ones that is exactly what it seems, and isn’t expensive or cheap. Most people saying apple devices are overpriced simply aren’t the target demographic for the products.
im still waiting for the linux phone of my dreams tbh

Apple did a hell of a job teaching people that means it’s more fancy.
