It really depends on what you want from your phone and what matters to you.

I recently got a refurbished OnePlus 9 and put lineage on it. I would have gone with a pixel and graphene, but pixels with more storage are hard to come by and expensive.

Find which roms are available for your phone and choose from there, or if you want to change the Asus phone, look at your target specs and which phone ROM combination you can find

Oh man! Sonique was my player of choice! Those free form skins were so fun

I’ve asked a similar question not long ago and the consensus was pixel, even though I had already ruled them out in my question.

I still haven’t changed phones but I’m leaning on a nothing 2a, since it’s reasonably priced for the storage that I want.

However, I’ve been looking at phones based on the specs I want and check XDA forums and see how active they are, in the hopes I get a phone popular enough that has long term community support

Fuck, now I wanna distro hop

I guess I never clicked lol

Yeah, I’m not shitting on it and I’m grateful to the people who fill it out, I’m just lazy

I rejected it on my steam deck, on my aging windows computer and on my Linux laptop.

I’m not going out of my way to give data to a private corporation

(Even if it’s a kawaii “good for consumer” corporation)

Oh, I’ll check this, because I’ve just been installing the games through adding a non steam game through the desktop and it’s a bit annoying

As much as I love my steam deck and the os, I do wish it was slightly easier to install third party games.

I know it’s not hard and I’ve installed plenty, but like it’s so incredibly easy with steam that it’s made me lazy to even install games I already have on gog

They probably mean advertising, it’s a close word in other languages

Yes! I just kinda posted it as a rethorical question. I think it’s important to know where the money is really coming from :)

Sovereignty from whom though??

Turns out, the Germans.

Seems like a cool initiative
