@DiogoConstantino @libreoffice @ansol We’ve seen it happen here in Germany—in Munich, to be exact. For 13 years, the city government had relied on Linux. For 13 years, apart from a few minor issues, there were no complaints. Then a new mayor came along, along with Microsoft and a big black briefcase, promising to move the company’s German headquarters to Munich if the city switched to Windows.
Well, what can I say? Munich is once again in the hands of the rip-off artists from Redmond.
@DiogoConstantino @libreoffice @ansol That works fine until Microsoft shows up at the top executives' offices with black briefcases in hand and disappears without ever coming back out.
@AlienJay Warum ersparst du dir nicht die Arbeit und machst der Person einen USB Stick mit mehreren Linux Distributionen fertig.
Dann kann sie die alle Testen und dann sagen welche sie nun installiert haben will
@Xtreix
Your info is helpful. I’m already considering getting a Pixel this year and rooting it, even though I’d rather use Linux. But the app selection there is still too limited for me, so Android is my only real option. I use my site’s reach to show people alternatives to mainstream devices like Samsung. Calls to move away from US Big Tech toward more autonomy are growing louder. That needed explaining — which is why I wrote the article, not because I wanted help with GrapheneOS 
@Xtreix i'm still using a Google free Android since 2 Yeats now.
There is a smartphone manufacturer in Germany that offers devices running either an Android version based on LineageOS or Ubuntu Touch.
@Xtreix Hi, I wasn't talking about what GrapheneOS is. My point is that GrapheneOS is presented as the only alternative to a Google-free Android.
And that's wrong. There are many others.
Yes, the term “ROM” would be incorrect if taken to mean what it actually stands for.
But the developers of alternative Android systems use it themselves, thereby giving it an additional meaning. When I talk to others about custom ROMs, most people know what I mean. In Germany, we call this a generic term.
Custom-ROMs erleben wieder mehr Aufmerksamkeit, besonders durch den aktuellen Hype um GrapheneOS. Doch wer über Datenschutz sprechen will, darf weder die Pixel-Bindung noch die Tatsache ausblenden, dass Datenschutz und Privatsphäre nicht allein vom Betriebssystem abhängen.
@Sagaliciouzzz no problem. youre welcome
@Sagaliciouzzz Nothing will change with your Windows. It will stay the same.
The only thing that will change is that the Linux bootloader (GRUB) will appear when you start your PC. From there, you can choose which operating system you want to boot.
@Gargron I think people have forgotten that every social network had to start somewhere.
How many were there before FB? In Germany, for example, we had StudiVZ, something called VZ. How many of those are still around? None.
Here in Germany, people complain that the EU regulates too much. In the US, everything would be much freer. Yes, for US Big Tech. They are allowed to do whatever they want first, and then maybe questions are asked afterward about whether everything was done correctly
Spotify. Die einen lieben es, die anderen nicht. Und gerade beim Free-Account nervt die Werbung.
Doch dafür zahlen? Kann man machen, kann man auch lassen. Wie? Das beschreibe ich hier:
