What alternative do we have for phones? Is Lineage os simple enough for the average user?

[–] pipes@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

Always has been ;) E.g. my parents are rocking LOS+microg since forever, they have no idea what adb, fastboot, flashing, partitions, rom, root etc mean.

And if you get the right device it'll take you literally two minutes to install. But installing ANY operating system is just something the average Joe doesn't do today, so help people out or get yourself some help the first time. Same with Linux on desktops.

Followup question: what alternative do people with locked bootloaders who don't want to get a new phone have?

I just bought a phone earlier this year before I heard the news, and I planned on keeping it for the next four years, given that it's a brand new, high-end flagship device. I don't plan to sell. I don't want to sell. It's the best phone I've ever had!
