I find the android experience on pixel 6 vastly inferior to what i had on onePlus 3t or even galaxy S3.

In pixels it feels like customization is frowned upon, and google keeps pushing its products everywhere.

Exactly. With youtube’s shitty tutorial search functions ever since they removed dislikes, i kinda need to see the start of the video to know if its even relevant. But no. Full on 2-3 pre-video ads.

Wont it be able to take screenshots of my desktop and such?

Is this actually true withoit using wayland?

Just move to my country, where traffic is so bad and unpredictable that not a single navigation app can be trusted.

Or just create a simple messaging app within a day using libre options with some AI tools to re-brand it.

Not my first libre product, but definitely the one that got me into searching for libre alternatives - OpenOffice. Despite not being great at the time (or ever), i was amazed by how complicated microsoft turned 365Office into. I suddenly had to buy subscriptions to all of the office products for outrages prices just so that i can have a simple words editors? Screw that, i googled for “open source office software” and never came back to m$Office.

Some of these dont really ship worldwide. Not all of them offer a good bang for the buck in terms of hardware specs, and big companies sometimes offer more options (system76 traditionally didnt offer screens over FHD, most laptops are only 14"…).

Dont worry, the market will simply regulate itself.

They dont consider chromium based browsere a monopoly because there are over 10 different ones from different companies. The fact they are all chromium behind the scenes and all comply with google’s bullshit standards doesnt matter to them.

I understood the problems are about security patches being late there, and the freeze periods. Why not usw unstable?

Can confirm 6’s fingerprint sensors sucks. It gets worse when you put a screen shield on (it has an option to adjust the fingerprint sensor to having a screen shield. It still sucks even with it on).

Dont know. Pixel 6 is my first pixel phone. I had galaxy in which this was the default, and onePlus which provided the option.

The navigation bar also doesnt have other options, like making it appear constantly and not disappear on random occasions.

Im happy for you that you like your phone though.

“an apple fanboi who is lying”

Literally had to check if im on reddit after seeing this. I dont like a product you do so im just an apple bot bashing every other phone?

It obviously has the gestures, but i prefer the 3 button navigation. However, it is barely supported. The back button is the most important button of the 3, but it is only available on the lefr side, meaning it is far away from the thumb for right handed people. This is the first phone i have ever seen that doesnt allow swaping the side of it.

I like pixel from a price to hardware performance ratio, but fuck the software side. Need a custom launcher coz the official one forces google calender to cover a whole line in your homescreen, and google search takes up a whole line on EVERY PAGE ON YOUR APPS HOME (why the bloody hell do i need this google search icon? It opens up some weird browser that is even worse than chrome). A million and one google product “suggestions” are being thrown at you for the first month of usage, official music app is youtube music, so literally everytime you open ot you need to tell it “yes im sure i want to use my offline music and not subscribe to youtube music”, the customizable shortcuts are basically “this can either activate google assistent or do nothing”, the worst 3 button navigation bar i have ever seen - You cant even swap the back button from left to right and jt hides itself at random occasions, evetytime you open your SMS you need to tell it you dont want to use google’s weird internet based sms feature (yes, it never stops suggesting it until you agree, 6 months already). The automatic adjustable brightness is terrible and already blinded me randomly when i tried to browse the internet before going to bed, the automatic screen wqkeup is junky at best, it has a weird feature that every time you.lay your phone over the screen it locks with no way to turn that off. Call recording apps barely work, closing all open apps it purposely innefficient (you have to scroll all the way left instead of it being immediatly available), the permission option of “ask every time” is broken because every third time it stops asking you to enable it and you have to enable the permission constantly and later remove it again.

Fuck google’s OSes.

It gives it control over the area by keeping israel dependent on the US. Part of why the US actually wants the conflicts at the area to remain. This is basically the cold war phase 2.

I never used siduction, im juat aware of its existence. I think they add some stability(=reliability) on top of sid and also keep updating packages during sid’s freezes. Dont quote me on this.

My best middle ground is openSUSE tumbleweed. It is a rolling release but very reliable. Its not bleeding edge. It has snapshots which function like very small stable releases every few days insteqd of every package being updated individually. Every such snapshot has automatic testing. So all in all, very stable for a rolling release.

Siduction. It is rolling release though.
