<p>🌗 Linux 手機現今比以往任何時刻都更加重要<br>➤ Android 生態系統的急速退化，迫使我們加速投入 Linux 手機的開發<br>✤ <a href="https://feddit.org/post/18353777" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>feddit.org/post/18353777</a><br>作者認為，在 Android 生態系統日益封閉、Google 限制開發者自由並加強平臺控制的趨勢下，Linux 手機的重要性正與日俱增。雖然目前 Linux 手機可能尚未完全成熟，但迫切需要加速相關開發，以提供一個開放且具隱私保護的替代方案，對抗 Android 生態系統的這種發展趨勢。文章也探討了多種 Linux 手機的發行版與裝置支援情況，並有使用者分享了他們的轉移經驗與電信服務選擇。<br>+ 我完全同意！Android 越來越像 iOS，失去它原本的開放性。我已經在等我的手機合約到期，就換成 Linux 手機。<br>+ 沒想到可以在 Android 裝置上裝 Linux，太酷了！我正好有幾臺舊平板可以拿來試試看。<br><a href="/tags/linux手機/" rel="tag">#Linux手機</a> <a href="/tags/android/" rel="tag">#Android</a> <a href="/tags/開放原始碼/" rel="tag">#開放原始碼</a> <a href="/tags/隱私/" rel="tag">#隱私</a> <a href="/tags/技術發展/" rel="tag">#技術發展</a></p>

I&#x27;ve been trying to match some of the iOS apps that I use to android equivalents, not exclusively but it’s a plus if they&#x27;re open source and available in f-droid.<br><br>…so far I&#x27;ve been very underwhelmed.<br><br>I went through tons of lists and my experience so far has been that these apps look pretty generic and have very limited functionality.<br><br>So far the only two apps I wish I had available on iOS are: tubular/newpipe, niagara, and paperize.<br><br>Where are the good apps?<br><br><a href="/tags/android/" rel="tag">#android</a><br>

<p>I wonder what the situation is with <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> apps for <a href="/tags/android/" rel="tag">#Android</a> these days. At one point, the official app was very bare bones, and folks recommended using <a href="/tags/moshidon/" rel="tag">#Moshidon</a> or <a href="/tags/megalodon/" rel="tag">#Megalodon</a> for better access to the full Mastodon experience. Is it the same still?</p><p>I have been using Moshidon for a while now, and I used to run Tusky. Having checked the last update, Moshidon got updated last summer, the official app a few days ago, and Tusky in September.</p>

F-droid was the first thing I thought of when I saw the news come by of Google&#x27;s plan to turn Android more into iOS. Custom roms are already a dying breed due to all the crap that Google has been pulling, and now this.<br><br>It&#x27;s such a shame we&#x27;ve ended up with a smartphone OS duopoly.

What are some decent relatively modern phones that would be good for a LineageOS install? I don&#x27;t plan to put Google Play Services on it since they are going to be used by teenagers so they only need to make calls and text. I wanted a modern phone to at least let them have a good camera.<br><br><a href="/tags/lineageos/" rel="tag">#LineageOS</a> <a href="/tags/android/" rel="tag">#Android</a><br>
