Curious about the overlap. I wonder if its actually that much of what appears to be a consensus on Lemmy, or just a loud minority.
Normal Google on the phone, though I am looking at alternatives in the nearish future, my phone will still be good a few more years, but there isn’t much in the way on other options beyond GrapheneOS. Not a bad start to de-google, but I wanna go full swing all in when I decide to do it, hopefully some solid Linux phones will exist by then.
Dabbled with Ubuntu back in like 2015. Windows fucked me hard this year, wiping 3 years of data because of a failed automatic update. It used a back up 3 years prior without even asking me, and I had done several this year for various reasons. That was my last straw, wiped everything, threw mint on a USB and did a full cinnamon install. Never been happier. Had a few hiccups to start and then it’s just fucking worked. I find random shit of mine not working, but I can always find a fix online.
Fuck Microsoft, maybe they burn eternal in the AI fire (yes, I know AI is here to stay, doesn’t mean it’s the infinite industry Microsoft thought when they dumped cash into it)
I suspect that the average lemming is a lot more of a normie than these comments let on, but the fediverse does skew more tech literate/curious than average. Or at least we have a decent mumbet of outspoken Linux and Graphine users.
For me? Short answer is yes if you squint on Linux, otherwise no although given free time I probably main Linux at home. Battery life keeps me away from wanting to try Linux on a phone.
For work I have an iPhone, MacBook, and an x64 windows 11 laptop. I ship software that runs in Ubuntu containers and we make a ton of use of Nix for local development, which means I spend my time in a WSL terminal if I’m on the windows laptop or I’m in a zsh terminal in MacOS that thinks it’s on another planet.
For home I’m on Windows, macos, and Android. I would like to get one of my windows devices moved to steam os, but haven’t set the time aside that’s required for the initial install.
Nixos on laptop and server, grapheneOS on phone
Most don’t, but I do
Yup. Nobara on my PC, GrapheneOS on my phone.
i use antiX Linux on my laptop, while i on my phone, i deleted google apps and services through ADB because it doesn’t support any reliable custom roms to flash LineageOS or GrapheneOS
One, and have had both, and will again.
Linux mint on my gaming computer, graphene for phone, just for the last year or so. Fucking around laptop rotates linux distros when I have time.
I use iOS for my primary phone and windows/mac OS on my primary computers.
But my fucking around with phone is running graphine, and all my fucking around with computers at least have Linux on them, even if it’s not my primary OS.
I started dabbling with Linux in 2019/2020, then fully switched in ~2023 because I got fed up with Windows 10 draining my laptop’s battery while idle.
In the beginning of 2024 I switched from a Galaxy S10 to Graphene OS on a Pixel 6.
Linux on all my computers. E/os on my phone.
same
ITT: Autistic sysadmins find their people
All computers I own are Linux and phone runs GrapheneOS
Ditto
Phones are iOS for now. But when we feel like dropping cash for pixels, we’ll switch to graphene.
All workstations are on Fedora. All servers are Debian based.
Steamdeck is on cachyOS
One laptop is a dual boot (fedora/win10ltsc)
Other laptop is tri boot with osx/win10/fedoraSo, only linux? No. Gotta keep some winblows for compatibility reasons. (mostly automotive, standalone ECUs and such)
Don’t know about most people of course, but I do indeed run Linux on my computers. Ubuntu on work laptop, Arch on home desktop, and Tuxedo OS on my Tuxedo laptop.
For the phone, I use Linux as well in the form of Sailfish OS which has support for Android apps too through Waydroid.
