Curious about the overlap. I wonder if its actually that much of what appears to be a consensus on Lemmy, or just a loud minority.

    Absolutely. I grew up in the 2000s, when Windows online activation or hardware serial numbers were seen as crazy Orwellian shit, and now we are so much worse and nobody cares? What the fuck is wrong with people, do they really buy the propaganda of normality and convenience so much that it completely removes the disgust?

    So, yeah, Debian and LineageOS is my current compromise.

    Debian and LMDE in my boxes, Lineage Microg in my cellphone. I use a dedicated phone with all the invasive stuff, exclusively for banking. It stays off and safe must of the time.

    Yep. On my laptop I dual boot Arch and Arch for noobs (Manjaro), and on my phone I use e/OS, planning to switch to LineageOS at some point

    I only use it on a computer. I currently have stock OneUI on my phone, but I’ll switch to a fork of AOSP once the 5-year update support ends

        Nothing gets in the way of the custom ROM community :)

        This thread about TWRP for my phone has someone saying that Odin can be used to revert back to OneUI 7

    Linux Bazzite in the Family TV/gaming Computer,

    Fedora Ultramarine on my main Laptop, One Burner Laptop with Windows for a couple of Apps i havent replaced yet.

    Fairphone 4 running Lineage OS for Phone stuff. It sounds silly,but Press and hold the Power Button to Turn on the torch without using the screen is an absolute must for me,and Stock Android still doesnt allow it after all these years!

      I just held the power button down for a few sec on my Pixel to see if it turned in the flashlight.

      Instead it activated Gemini and made me want to kill myself

        Nope!

        Lineage can do it,i presume other OEM can do it too. It’s a simple setting,but a game changer at night!

      Yep; Mint and Graphene; but not since inception.

      Graphene for about 2 years; Linux since 2010 but, settled on Mint during COVID after trying a bunch of distros.
