So what if it is? Replace the stock OS with GrapheneOS and it doesn't matter who manufactures the phone.

"I use Libre Office"

"I use _____ ______"

Sounds good. Might even encourage more people to move to a privacy respecting OSs.

This guy talked about this 4 months ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9HwA5IR-sg scary stuff.

I've downloaded many videos with PipePipe on my Android.

My driveway isn't nearly long enough to justify the cost but its very cool.

I hate Windows, always did, always will. My final trial with that garbage system was last April when I installed Fedora on a bootable thumb drive. I might be one of the few people left who couldn't care less what microsoft does. Here's hoping they only make decisions that make people trust them less.

I use Fedora Workstation. I do use the terminal, each morning I install my updates by typing "sudo dnf upgrade" and enter the password. When that is done I type "syncthing" to start that service. The rest of the day I don't touch the terminal.

I could install the updates through the "software store" but terminal is faster and no reboot is required, afaik.

Once in a while I do update an app which is almost as easy. Download the rpm file (typically there is a link in the app that needs updating) open terminal, cd Downloads, ls, sudo dnf install "package name", password, exit.

For context, I started on Linux last April. Previous "laptop" was an android tablet with a physical keyboard and mouse. I did buy a used Thinkpad and install Fedora myself which was very easy.

My 75 year old father, who isn't a techie, can handle this. Your Window buds should be able to as well.

Finally, someone else in this thread that sees the potential.

 

Imaging if this technology could cool a data centre.

Edit: I was not involved in this project. You are wasting your time asking me questions.

Isn't there a way to lock Wikipedia articles so they can't be edited by just anyone?

I felt this place was a ghost town when I first started - maybe 10 posts a day. Now, there is plenty to read. Partly due to me finding more communities and overall more people here.
