I'm still praying for TempleOS mobile version.
-
You really think that the holy OS can even fit in such a small, restrictive device as a cellphone? Of course not! It needs room to truly achieve transcendence.

God does not wish HolyC to compile to lowly ARM architectures

FairPhone can run Postmarket OS, eOS, iodeos, calyxos and lineageos.
Some have longer support than others. Also you can buy separate parts for their phones and they are modular.
-
Yes but do they support the digital national ID and SSO apps that are (only) avaliable for android and apple? Until they do, a lot of users are going to be locked into those two big OS vendors. 😞

If you don't need any of that¸ you're good!
Enjoy your new linux phone!

I don't get it.
you're in a thread discussing the finer points of privacy concerns about a corporation snooping on your apps and your only example of a barrier to not use a privacy focused product is...your requirement for government backdoors and spyware?
also SSO works just fine on eOS. unless you're talking about googles MFA. at that point why are you even concerned about privacy?
-
eOS is Android
-
eOS is forked AOSP and has all Google "contributions" removed.
so yes. it's Android.
-
and so, OP's SSO problems are null since eOS has no issue running it due to it just being android under the hood.
that apk doesn't install on arm Linux. Comparing eOS to Postmarket is apples to oranges. eOS is still chained by the buttcheeks to AOSP and Android.
AOSP may not contain google services, but you're still at their mercy. No Google = No AOSP, or whenever they feel like it. Tomorrow, maybe.

The digital national ID is not corporate or government snooping. If you believe it is, I don't think this conversation can continue. What it is, is what's needed to log into your doctors system to schedule an appointment, or the schools system to read updates about your kids, or to log into your online banking. All of that, and more, in my country, is using the same ID system, which won't work on a rooted android phone (at least, I haven't been able to make it work for the past 3-4 major versions).

you must have a lot of trust in your government.
giving examples of what it's used for doesn't make it any better that you're forced to install software on your personal device by your government for simply existing and is an invasion of privacy.
in my country my government wanted to use facial recognition for online transactions that were previously accessible via government IDs. it was found that the facial recognition software was provided by a corporate identity provider that was then selling that same data to local police that then tracked people through local government surveillance.
when it comes to technology, I have zero faith in every government in the world to have my best interests in mind. they are all guilty of either being complicit in eroding civil rights or negligent in upholding the protections built for civil liberties.

Yes, but i have a Nothing Phone (1). I should check the other alternatives, but afaik lineageos does not support my phone.
-
The Mindset:
Lineage doesn't support my phoneI bought a phone that isn't supported by Lineage
👌👌💯
I guarantee their device wiki existed before you bought your phone.
