android, shockingly, it’s almost like it explains why i hate it so much lmao.
I’ve heard some decent things about lineage, but i feel like i would still hate it, just moderately less than android since it probably won’t give me aids as opposed to android.
One of these days i’m either getting a linux phone, and just using linux (which doesn’t absolve me fully of the terrible hardware platform that phones are based on, unfortunately) that or i’ll pull some shit out of my ass and use a PDA or just make some shit out of thin air that aligns with my requirements. One of the two.
I want control over my device.
if it makes any more sense, i’m a linux user at heart, so linux has ruined me because it’s essentially the perfect OS design, aside from how aggressively modular it is. I essentially just want linux, but turbo specific for android and it’s hardware. And ideally, the hardware would be less dogshit, a proper BIOS standard would be nice for one, rom flashing is kinda fucking silly ngl. Proper hardware support in the open source space would also obviously help a lot, qualcomm and other providers are quite dogshit about that in particular, which causes a lot of problems.
I won’t nag you to switch until you have a second device handy haha that’s when I did, but switched from a secondhand iOS device bought off a friend for almost nothing
yeah, i’ll get around to it someday, either through buying something like a pinephone or just acquiring an android phone and fucking around with it, though i think most android phones are rather boring so who knows how long that will take lol.

you can always agonize about the perfect option over the course of a year after jumping ship!
hey don’t hold back, i already bought another ~$110 USD samsung off newegg and put LineageOS on it haha making it for a friend
it’s not even that, i’m just not motivated to do anything about it because of how much i fucking hate it.
There will probably be a pretty significant period of my life where i simply do not own a phone.
