    Given Google’s current trajectory with Android, I’m not sure the smugness is so warranted unless you either have no phone or you’re one of the few that uses a Linux mobile OS. Also, yes I know Android is based on Linux but that isn’t stopping Google from locking it down as tightly as iOS

          /e/OS doesn’t care take security seriously. They are usually 1-2 months behind on Android security patches, leaving users vulnerable to literally (literally) dozens of critical and many more high severity vulnerabilities. Every other Android ROM is better about this. LineageOS and GrapheneOS are the best about updating quickly.

      My plan right now is to have an Android phone at home for all the official stuff and just use scrncopy over ssh to get phones from my laptop
