It probably has to do with how many people here use Linux, and Steam’s commitment to supporting Linux gaming. I myself have a fairly high opinion of them; they’re not perfect, but they’re better than the other big companies and I can actually play their games.

I’ve been considering starting one, but it seems like a bit of a hassle to manage.

Meh, it’s just a fact that some people have better things to spend their money on. And Android phones work well for many users. The user experience is less streamlined, but they have a lot more to offer in terms of control and customization (custom ROMs, launchers, sideloading, rooting, etc). I say this as someone who has extensively used both.

Not everyone has the money for an iPhone, or is willing to deal with the walled garden that Apple products are. “Buy a new phone” is also just a really terrible response to someone asking for help.

OpenRGB has support for a ton of devices; just make sure the keyboard is supported before buying it.

52 factorial is a larger number than the number of atoms in the observable universe.

Not true, 52! ≈ 8x10^67 < 10^80.

I haven’t, and I don’t plan to. Drinking alcohol just isn’t worth the negative health effects and the risk of addiction to me.

At the expense of an exciting new array of problems!

90% of problem solving is just Googling stuff and screwing with settings, which isn’t particularly Linux specific.

“/dev/sdb? It’s sdb? With a B? Yep that’s the flash drive. Just type it in… of=/dev/sd what was the letter again? B? Alright, /dev/sdb. Double check with lsblk, yep that’s the small disk. Are my backups working properly? Alright here goes nothing… <enter>”

I guess I only have one data point from installing Graphene on my phone. I can see why it would be harder on other devices. Though I was using Linux, and Windows is absolutely not required for WebUSB.

It’s a tradeoff for sure but it’s worth it for a lot of people.

Yep, Graphene only runs on Pixels but (IIRC) Lineage runs on most mainstream devices. Otherwise stock Android should work fine.

Companies want to spy on you and make money, it’s no secret. Just install stock Android or your favorite fork; it quite literally takes 5 minutes with a WebUSB installer.

Unless I’m very much mistaken the Fold doesn’t have a screen on the same side as the nice camera either.

Woooo can’t wait for exactly zero of these features to arrive to my Graphene’d Pixel!

Well, unless your phone’s got a screen on the back good luck using the other camera.

I think there’s just a big fanbase here. I just ended up blocking the Star Trek communities; no hate towards them, but I don’t watch the show so it was needless clutter to me.

I wouldn’t, but I would know if it didn’t work and that’s pretty much the same thing.

Do I have to ensure I’m still born? If not, I choose the last common ancestor of modern humans. We’ve screwed things up enough that I think the world would clearly be better off without us.
