  • As someone from a developing country, windows 11 contributes to higher digital inequality because of its unnecessary high hardware requirements. If they don’t support windows 10 for a long time, we will suffer a great toll.

    And unfortunately, people around here barely use linux and developed quite a repulsion for it, which only makes things worse for ourselves…

    It’s hard not to hate microsoft when we live on the ugly side of capitalism.







  • Depends on the device. Some allow the bootloader to be unlocked officially. Root is usually needed when you unlock the bootloader unofficially, using some hack.

    Also, /e/os supports an official gsi, which can be installed without root.

    That said, these phones aren’t suited for people that need absolute security and privacy. They’re more experimental and aimed at enthusiasts of the project who want to support it.

    I can see why eos raises some concerns, but i find it to be an interesting alternative with moderate potential. We definitely need more alternatives to standard android.
