MicroG?

I still need it for 2 games I like to play on my phone, maybe other things too, it was only recently that I started slowly moving away from being dependent on google

Honestly, even if you need some Google services, just get things like gapp (or whatever its called, forgot) and you are good to go.

I want to try GrapheneOS, but no one I know owns any old (or new) pixel device and compiling and running as emulator (like for developing purposes) requires like 500gb of storage on PC for it.

PostMarketOS sounded fun but I couldn’t get waydroid to start without crashing

My understanding of the different operating systems

MacOS: One time hardware payment for their service (plus for every other device)

Linux: Free as in price free and freedom

Windows: 30+ subscriptions to edit 1 file, then cooldown till next day or upgrade subscriptions to enterpise version for a kidney/per user/per month.

The year of the Linux Desktop is coming!!!

Ah I wasn’t aware, I just assumed that even if it’s from its own repository, it is still on F-droid

Edit: reading the license, seems open source enough but I don’t have a legal background so I’m not the most well versed in that stuff, as long as code it open is the bare minimum for me.

I just use futo keyboard

They leave the borders in ruins (the door left open)
