Aaaand a new community was thus born!: @Cryptolancing@Lemmy.wtf

I can’t fucking agree more honestly. I already use LineageOS on my phones and not the stock ROMs that they come with, but even then, Google’s way of locking you in with their “open-source” Android kernel is very annoying. Some of the most popular Android apps won’t work because of their Safety-Net and Google Services dependencies. And let’s not even get started on the dozens of binary blobs in the firmware that you can’t get rid of if you want your phone to keep on working.

It’s all so shitty. I’d drop my android phone for a Linux one in an instant if there’s even a decent one out there that works reliably. It’s so sad to see that it’s just a niche yet for privacy obsessed people and that’s it. It definitely needs more attention and funding.

Of course! I’ll let you know. I submitted a request for it on Lemmy.wtf as of now. I’ll try different instances if that doesn’t work out, and I’ll link the final result here.

Gotchu. Thank you for letting me know! :)

I’ll go on to create one then. Since you said that you like the idea, it’s name is probably going to be “cryptolancing” since that would make it easier to find both for people searching for “crypto”, and for “freelancing”.

Keep a lookout if you’re interested

Try different ones out! If you have the time at least.

Otherwise, I’d personally suggest trying out some of the more active Wayland WMs, such as Hyprland or Niri, and of course, sway which is i3 but for wayland! :)

I suggest Wayland because X11 is being dropped everywhere, so it isn’t too wise to get used to an X11 WM, if you’re going out of your way to learn something new in the first place 🙂🤷‍♂️
