Odd I used it to install GTA: SA definitive edition purchased on the play store website then installed and updated via Aurora still works just updated it recently too.

I agree left reddit never looked back literally asked a question in a sub and was banned like what it was about the exact product the sub was for.

Is it the pro or the tube shield the tube is 32 bit only and most apps and games have moved to 64 bit only so the pro would be needed but I can still install paid apps on aurora on my phone just fine.

Just waiting for them to try this with a US Navy Ship gonna be a bad day for the Chinese 😂

If you get a pixel watch you can pair it and use that for Google Pay FYI and have Graphene OS on your phone.

I think it has more to do with Matrix is kinda becoming the standard for secure open source messaging server but I do agree with you I would just use what works for you personally.

Full speed ahead boys 🤣

This is what I do I self host pretty much most of my services.

So google play services on android along with Google store are installed in the root system the can basicly do whatever the want permission wise play services is always running in the background and is a huge battery drain by not having it installed at all you are gaining more battery life.

Its already been known Qualcomm x1 arm64 laptop chip will be able to run other operating systems its not a phone.

That is very true indeed but my battery lasts for 2 days though because of it so I’ll call that a win.

Well looks like I’ll be filling unemployment 🖖 🤣

It was windows 7 but my install got screwed up Some how not sure how a freind gave me a Ubuntu USB and I didn’t want you try it I wanted to reinstall windows but didn’t have another windows computer at the time or acces to one. And I installed Ubuntu 8.Something and back then making a Windows USB wasnt easy like it is now on Linux and never got it working so I just embraced Linux glad I did prepared me for my Dev ops career.

My bad I mean microphone 🎤

It runs great just no steam for games because no arm64 support but runs really good.

I just self host Invidious and put it behind Authelia for SSO.

100% agree been using Linux for 15 years and will never stop plus once you learn everything there is to know about how Linux works if something breaks odds are you can fix it yourself or report it with logs faster if you contribute your self as well.

I would not say all some of us run Graphene OS with Google Play Services stripped from Android.

Just waiting for Asahi Linux to get microphone working and I can finally use Fedora on my M2 Air all my other computers run Linux. Dropped Windows over 15 years ago it was bad then and it just keeps getting worse every update.

That’s because the are most likely flex drivers i work for a DSP inside a Amazon warehouse the are more strict and enforce rules for self employed contractors this is just not possible the should get rid of flex that’s my opinion.
