Typing this on a Zenfone 10.
The good thing is that this phone don’t really have bad querks like ZF8&9, and the 2 years update only means not getting new android features, Zenfone still works perfectly fine a long time after the 2 year mark.
And yes, Asus has been quite an A** hole in the whole bootloader situation, but putting that aside there are still plenty of ways to tinker a phone without root(Fdroid, adb, launcher, netguard, etc…).
I would say If custom ROMs are too important for you, get a Pixel, they are just that good with it.
But if you are willing to look past that, Zenfones are great.
And the science gets done, and you made a neat distro.
For the people who are using linux.
Actually glad to hear about this rather than hearing more “Loot boxes” or “Battle pass”.
Too often do we feel hate about bad things, and too little do we voice our love toward good things.
One tip for Olauncher is that you can put emojies in the app’s names! It makes things a lot less text heavy.
Super Tux Kart and MineTest. Both are on fdroid and have amazing modding capabilities . I will say modding them is part of the fun too.
I really enjoyed my stay here. Lemmy become my daily social media/fourm since last year,. Huge thanks for all the mods that keep this place running.
Looking forward to all the things and participation this year!
