    I was a long time lineageOS user and love the freedom of changing anything. I switched to grapheneOS and like it, but miss some features, that are just pointless and not relatable: no full AMOLED dark mode - the devs said the battery savings between dark and pure dark isn’t relevant. and the other thing is: why is the white bar on the bottom not removable?

    Because of these things I switched back to lineageOS and realised how dumb it is because of two optical features. GOS is definitely worth to look over two missing features and I switched back to GOS.

    Anyway the most interesting transition from an lineage user to an grapheneOS user is, you realise that root isn’t useful and more risk than fun.




  • Interesting, but how? The only way I see is implement new standards, spread them and make them easy accessible. DoH, DoT and DoQ for example are some nice standards to encrypt DNS. But it isn’t easy for everybody to use them, easiest one I can think about is DoT on Android, but how many Android users use it?

    How about jmap? There is a new mail standard but near nobody supports it, and did they really miss to give this standard an encryption on it’s side by default?





  • The software philosophy of the maintainers and their choice of packages and design.

    A simple but important difference: the package-manager: apt, dnf or pacman (there is more but let’s bring it down to these three).

    Another one is security: apparmor or selinux

    The last one are preferred and preinstalled Desktop-Environments.

    And if you want to keep it simple, just be based on another distro and let them do the hard work.

    Everyone can start their own distro. Manage some packages together, choose for example: Based on Arch, pacman, selinux and hyprland-wm and name it hypearch. Et voila!

    But isn’t appimage the closest one to the app-system from Android? Since things could be really different on many clients an “app-container” is the best solution.

    Why not containerise everything? You need libreoffice? No problem, here is a docker or podman container.

    BTW. I like flatpak, too. It’s the most stable, but I never understand it’s mechanics. There is always another pack installed, freecode, gtk, qt whatever. Even if the system has already the correct gtk version, nope, the dev decided to use the gtk image from Ubuntu.
