    That was almost 20 years ago. It is nothing like that anymore I would say. Some things are still more complicated to configure but then, other things just work that don’t work for example on my other system that runs pop-os, in general openSUSE is just as easy to install as any user friendly distro. And among the rolling release distros, openSUSE Tumbleweed is probably the most stable of them all.

    opi is a great tool, even when just looking for applications in the regular repository. But then you can also very easily access the open build service with it as well.

    Name me a concrete phone model that has no significant compromises in hardware functionality. Maybe I missed those when I had a look into it.

    The Postmarket wiki only shows a handful of devices where Call functionality is classified with “Yes”, rather than “Partial” or even “No”. Other than Pine Phone and Purism Librem that is only the Shift6mq from 2020 and four Xiaomi devices with the newest one being also from 2020, all of those have core functionality that does not fully work. Maybe that wiki is horrendously out of date but then this doesn’t do good service to give newcomers a good idea where the project stands.

    BTW: I am not saying btw that postmarket isn’t interesting nonetheless to many people and a great project.








  • I find it impressive how negative people tend to be because something is not pure enough, they talk it down even much more than the duopoly systems. Yes, Sailfish OS has some closed source UI parts, and you can’t just install desktop programs outside of the cli without running into problems. But running desktop programs, not optimised for mobile use are a terrible experience to begin with. This is a mobile device, not a desktop. If you disagree with that and want a desktop on your phone, there are options for you too, Sailfish OS isn’t it though.

    That said, what surprised me most is how much I am in the terminal on the phone and enjoying it. You’d certainly not going to have that kind of experience on an Android, also not on a degoogled one.
