And hopefully Cosmic
I'm hoping for the new fairphone, I think its gonna be my next phone after my oneplus 9 kicks the bucket.
You're gonna downgrade to an LCD screen and snapdragon 750g and still pay more than $500?
You must really love the planet.
You joke but yeah, I really do
Really there with you on Debian bookworm!
Less with Flatpak. It is, IMHO, the wrong solution to a real problem; I install n flatpaks and suddenly I have n+1 openssl, libpng, etc. library versions to worry about, and unknown capabilities and policies for responding to security issues in each of them. Give me Debian unattended-upgrades any day!
Seriously, Flatpak is nice as a "backup repository" for when your actual repo lacks a certain package, but it is a workaround rather than a true solution. It's the problem of "we have too many standards so let's create another standard". It just adds extra copies of dependencies on top of your system's packages. The thing that I loved about Linux's package management most when I first switched is just how damn efficient it all was. One package manager updates the ENTIRE system and dependencies all get properly shared. Why are we all clamoring to go backwards?
Has OnePlus improved? I have the 7 Pro but their newer phones and customer support got terrible.
They have gone backwards in my opinion, I'd rather hold out and see what the Nothing Phone(2) will be like. (Using a OP6T)
Have been waiting for a new device from Nothing for quite a while c:
Oneplus is dead for me since der Switched their underlying OS to ColorOS. On month after the update my device bootloped and the only option was to wipe all the data. I don't rooted the device everything was stock. Second thing is I got only 2 mayor Android updates on my Oneplus Nord.
OnePlus was wonderful, it was just the kind of support (helpfully and covertly making apps slow down to increase battery life) that I needed to switch to Apple iPhone.
Wait, did you mean you switched from iPhone because they do that, or did OnePlus start doing it too?
I switched to iPhone because the OnePlus brand-enhancements was the "last straw" of my experience with devices in the Android ecosystem. Other problems:
I'm not going to say that iPhone does not also have these kinds of issues, but combinatorially iPhone has less of them because you are not multiplying configurations with different screen resolutions, microprocessors, Android versions, manufacturers, carriers and promotional rate plans. I won't buy locked devices, because for me, it is better to consider the mobile phone as a tool you buy, and not a flavor-of-the-season vessel for a carrier's service plan. The prices of unlocked devices are closer to the true value of the device.
