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.
Debian and LineageOS
All devices on the internal network need properly deshittified OSes. Guests with unknown devices go to an isolated vlan that only has access to the internet.
Fedora and grapheme
Fedora (bazzite) and still Google Android)
Mint and Graphene for me.
I’m not too loud but I do use that everywhere (NixOS, OpenSuse MicroOS, LineageOS). It works 🤷
Desktop: CachyOS & Windows 11 dual boot, mostly use CachyOS
NAS: TrueNAS CE
Living room/gaming PC: Bazzite + Windows 11
Phone: GrapheneOS
Also have an ancient Surfacebook 2 and some ChromeOS ARM tablets I use for mobile use.
Linux everywhere, path of least resistance on my phone at the moment, pixel 6, so what ever that has. I used to run CryogenMod back in the day
I got Cinnamon Mint on my desktop for fun, writing and graphics stuff. Got a Mate Mint as entertainment system hooked up to the smart TV where it functions as game computer and film/streaming-box.
I wish I could find a linux for my phone but haven’t had one yet that could run any of the builds yet.Mint on every PC I control, Calyx on my phone after trialling Ubuntu Touch. Win11 and iOS on work’s stuff.
I had already made the change to Linux before I used 11 but it’s doing a very good job of reinforcing that it was the right decision.
All PCs and Laptops that are in my full control run either debian or arch
Fedora and /e/OS
Absolutely. I grew up in the 2000s, when Windows online activation or hardware serial numbers were seen as crazy Orwellian shit, and now we are so much worse and nobody cares? What the fuck is wrong with people, do they really buy the propaganda of normality and convenience so much that it completely removes the disgust?
So, yeah, Debian and LineageOS is my current compromise.
I refuse to put more than 100€ in my phone, so there are no non-OEM OS for it.
I dont even think its possible to buy a phone at $110 USD (100 Euro) in this day and age of AI-induced tech price inflation. Don’t Europe also have a high VAT at like averaging 20% or something? (or do you exclude taxes when it comes to calculating “how much should i spend on a phone”)
But still, even the cheapest motorolas are like $200 USD now. Unless you buy a used budget phone, which probably wouldnt be great to used. (or perhaps use a flip phone, those are cheap)
You can (80€ even), don’t expect to have ever heard of the brand though. Or to have the latest tech.
Aahhh, those Blackview, BLU, Ulephone stuff…
I mean those are usable, but you probably shouldnt let any of your personal info touch that device, massive security issue, which IMO has more real world implications than any privacy issues can do.
The besteht bet at those prices is buying a second row name brand used. Plenty of ROM support and quality hardware for 100-150€, plus you keep a phone out of the landfill a bit longer. Screw buying overpriced lifestyle phones, my text messages and YouTube videos won’t run any faster on an iPhone Ultra Pro Max Ultra or Samsung Galaxy S420.
Debian and LMDE in my boxes, Lineage Microg in my cellphone. I use a dedicated phone with all the invasive stuff, exclusively for banking. It stays off and safe must of the time.
Yep. On my laptop I dual boot Arch and Arch for noobs (Manjaro), and on my phone I use e/OS, planning to switch to LineageOS at some point
