Nagware has been around since the 80s and it was just as annoying then even without this bloated corporate hellscape we call the internet 🙁

As an American I wondered when the police would be made the victims and the actual victim would either get shot or arrested and blamed.

Tell that to Microsoft. Lol.

You realize how the Android OS works, right?

I put my mom on Ubuntu with KDE 10 years ago. I had far less problems with her on Linux than I ever did with Vista and 7. It got to the point she was calling me multiple times a week.

I didn’t have to but I did one Ubuntu reinstall in that entire time only because I made /boot the default partition size at installation and years later it filled up constantly. I got sick of going over there to clean it up and it coincided with her getting a new computer.

My mom installed printer drivers, and Cisco VPN software from run packages instead of apt and set up multi- monitors on her own after I taught her how to use the terminal, so it’s possible for the elderly.

Wow I haven’t had Coa-Cola in a fortnight.

I might just do that. Thanks for the info!

What if the bootloader is encrypted? Am I out of luck?

Sweet! Have any guides you can pass my way?

The Pixel 3a is a great phone. Last time I checked years ago there was no way to get Linux onto one with a locked bootloader tho. Is that still the case?

I should have been more specific. When I said old tech I meant phones or SoC that were ~10 y old.

I want a Linux phone but the only ones I know are old tech and not for primetime yet. Any suggestions?
