Are these dumb fucks actually gonna push this?
Can’t wait for full Linux phones and Linux PCs with seamless integration.
They will push it if these customers and developers keep allowing this BS
Guess its actually time to switch to a linux phone. Hope one of them works with my hardware
PostmarketOS has a list of officially supported devices. Sadly that list is empty. We can wait but it’s not going to happen by itself. Maybe everyone interested could fund a dev working on getting one device to be officially supported? I don’t know if that would be welcome by the project. My point is, with the current pace, is the goal moving closer or further away?
Probably not time yet. The interim is an alternate OS such as lineage or graphene. Don’t use google play and you’re fine.
Basically that’s a short term solution to wait out this stupid policy to get fixed, or if they double down it gives Linux phones a bit more time to come to market (I have not used one, but its essentially unanimous they are not ready to be a replacement today).
That is terrifying
Apparently Linux phones are missing a lot of features still? I would need maps, MFA app, banking apps, and (preferably) a Google wallet type function to make the switch.
Any password manager worth its salt will be able to generate 2FA OTP codes. I know KeePassXC can do it on desktopas an example. Banking apps may have to be replaced with banking websites. I actually switched to my bank for this exact reason, because my previous bank would not allow me to use the website for full functionality, which is why they are my previous bank. I’m betting somebody would be willing to port OSMAnd onto Linux mobileif it or something similar is not already available.
Thank you for your response.
Right, so a bitwarden Linux desktop client could be the 2FA solution.
Banking websites: fair point.
OSMand is an option. Perhaps Organic Maps would work too as it already has a desktop Linux client?
Using the fact that KeePassXC can generate ToTP codes was more an example that any password manager worth at salt should have that ability. It would not surprise me at all if something for KeePass would be made available on Linux Mobile.
That’s not going to happen
I don’t like this.
I have a Nokia G42. Are there any operating systems that will run on it other than Android, or will I need to buy another phone?
Google wants to control everything. So bad operating systems can’t be installed on phones as easy as on computers.
