I mean, the website has officially supported devices. If you are running an unofficial rom made by some random on a forum, that’s on you.

Its better to have less proprietary which is why LineageOS is better.

I have a Pixel and LineageOS is the best by far. Freedom to root, which I absolutely want… I want full control over my devices. I’m extremely picky about how every little thing runs and works in my phone and I can only get it with root. You can’t get root with GraphenOS without a huge pain in the ass with updates.

It’s hilarious people install GrapheneOS and think they are better off because Google services are installed as user apps instead of system. You lose as soon as you install them either way. They are getting the data they are after no matter if it’s installed as a user app or system app.

But anyway, I’ve been running LineagOS since it used to be Cynogenmod over 10 years ago. It’s the most established and reliable while remaining open to customization by far.

I like Adguardhome better.

Adaway on rooted Android is pretty amazing and blocks a lot of ads in apps.

SmartTubeNext for ad free YouTube on TV. And S0undTV for ad free twitch on TV.

Revanced Manager for ad free YouTube and more on Android phones.

Nope, you don’t get it.

They have clients for basically every platform. That means you can control your Windows desktop from your Android phone, or use your Linux Desktop to control your iPhone… the platform does not matter. It works on any device in any direction.

Also, you don’t have to expose it to WAN. You can run it locally and use Wireguard the same way to access your LAN… so why even mention something like Tailscale?

Windows is still fucking ass though and it’s so bad that I can not respect the opinion of someone that claims they are an IT professional and don’t main Linux. Like what? And what does that even mean, that’s ridiculously broad, what do you do? I’m a network engineer and sysadmin.

Linux is objectively superior to Windows in almost every way. It has vastly superior workflows. It’s more customizable. It’s insanely more efficient. It’s more secure. I feel like I’m wading through 3ft of shit anytime I boot into Windows. Not to mention the ability to actually have ownership of your computer. And that’s just talking about the ways Linux is better. That’s not getting into why Windows is ass like… telemetry data and ads in the OS and configs reverting from updates and the dumbass way software is installed on it and how shit docker runs in it and I can go on and on. The workflows of Windows are actual dog ass and literally every single popular Linux DE has better workflows and customization.

If you in IT and use Windows for anything other than a gaming machine or something like Photoshop, then I don’t want you anywhere near my tech.

No, Cinnamon and MATE are much more Windows like DEs. KDE is awful for a new user and anyone that doesn’t want to spend a ton of time setting options. The options are overwhelmingly fucking stupid in it… and how they are laid out is moronic compared to something sane like XFCE that has much better defaults.

A new user should use Cinnamon, it’s the most Windows-like by far.

KDE is laughably bad compared to basically every other major DE, unless you have no life and want to configure every small detail… and what’s worse? You will have to because the defaults are ass.

XFCE > Cinnamon > MATE > KDE + GNOME tied in ass place for almost opposite yet somehow similar reasons. KDE let’s you configure everything from irrationally organized settings panels, and you have to because the defaults are ass. GNOME simplifies everything but if you don’t like it, fuck you.
