Better late than never I guess
They are trying to kill normal desktops, it will be easier to transition everything online at megacorps.
That’s why we need linux phones.
Honestly Graphene on desktop is best case scenario for me. Windows has too many ads and spying, Linux doesn’t have enough support, MacOS hardware is too damn expensive and tightly-controlled.
Android is Linux
This is a very umm ackshully ☝️🤓 response.
Yes, Android is a (extremely heavily forked) Linux distribution. I’d be willing to bet money the above poster knows that too. You aren’t giving us new information here.
Furthermore, I think you knew what the above user’s point was: they want a more open phone and OS landscape where users are the boss of their own software and hardware, not tech giants.
Android is, in practical terms, its own thing, under Google’s control, bundles all kinds of Google crap, and can’t be replaced on most phones.
Yes. The point is Linux doesn’t solve the problem of megacorps and it’s not like Linux on phones isn’t something that hasn’t been tried before. Projects like Ubuntu Touch and Firefox OS went nowhere.
Lmao, using Linux kernel …
Nothing feels cooler than plugging in my phone with Dex to a small USB c hub at work to get desktop mode on a secondary monitor and then using a VPN home and opening my virtual machine for a full desktop
Yeah dex is very impressive but it still falls short for my use cases. Apart from browsing the web and office suites you cannot do much.
DeX is pretty cool. Google should have gone that route from the beginning instead of that split strategy with ChromeOS. More Android apps would support big screens were it not for ChromeBooks running a different, web based OS.
Does that mean desktop mode will be available by default? Some of the earlier reporting said it was hidden behind flags and may never see general release.
From what I’ve read in the last few month, it will probably not be ready for the release of android 16.
