    Honestly Graphene on desktop is best case scenario for me. Windows has too many ads and spying, Linux doesn’t have enough support, MacOS hardware is too damn expensive and tightly-controlled.

      Linux doesn’t have enough support

      What? It works on everything I try it on. Perfectly. The only stuff that doesn’t work perfectly are peripherals, but that same lack of support would be true in Android. Or do you mean native applications? Because even though that’s true, you can run more on Linux if you include Wine/Proton and stuff like Waydroid.

        peripherals

        native applications

        Sounds like you understand.

        Wine/Proton

        Almost never works outside of games.

        Waydroid

        Runs like Android 11 or some shit, so most apps don’t work on there either.

          Sounds like you understand.

          My point is that Android is worse in terms of peripherals. And you’re comparing Android with Linux which has better support.

          Native applications are a decent point, but only if you keep it mobile instead of desktop usage.

          Almost never works outside of games.

          A lot of Windows software works.

          Runs like Android 11 or some shit, so most apps don’t work on there either.

          No idea. My point here is that Linux has more support because you can run more stuff on it because of easier emulation, compared to Android which is more limited and almost exclusively only supports Android apps.

          But hey. I’m glad you enjoy Graphene in desktop mode. Just don’t claim something that isn’t true.

            That hasn’t been my experience but I don’t have any objective data to back it up.

            My point here is that Linux has more support because you can run more stuff on it because of easier emulation

            My point is that it doesn’t. And it doesn’t sound like you’ve even tried it.

            I’m glad you enjoy Graphene in desktop mode

            Doesn’t exist yet. But we’ll find out soon.

            Just don’t claim something that isn’t true.

            I’ve done no such thing. The fact that you can theroetically do things is not the same as reality.

      Yes, or LineageOS.

      But with Android app support in Linux maybe some day I could get both worlds …

      (I need apps bcs society demands then, like banking, work stuff, etc.)
