  • when compared to their contemporaries

    Platform Type Company Released Units sold

    PlayStation Home Sony 1994 102.49 million

    Nintendo 64 Home Nintendo 1996 32.93 million

    N64 v PS1 is an almost 70million sale difference.

    PlayStation 2 Home Sony 2000 160.63 million

    Xbox Home Microsoft 2001 24 million

    Nintendo GameCube Home Nintendo 2001 21.74 million

    GCN v PS2 is even larger at an almost 140mil sale difference. Even Xbox had them beat by almost 3mil

  • I wouldn't call the Virtual Boy, Wii U or maybe even the GameCube and N64 successes when compared to their contemporaries though. Not saying they aren't greedy, but they do miss occasionally

  • It's not helping me rn

  • it looks like you can use USB flash drives as well, but SD cards were probably chosen to be the main medium for the retro cartridge factor.

    Jump

  • The problem is that I feel android being sold would give it to a closed source entity. Ideally, a judge would make it so AOSP goes to a nonprofit governing body independent of any corporation, but I have a strong feeling that is not what will happen (in the US).

  • No but how feasible would it be to do it with like a pi5, a 3d printer, a USB modem, and a lot of pain?

  • i have some android TV boxes that supposedly support project treble. I'm going to experiment over the next couple days and figure out if they can run GSIs because there's no custom Roms for it.

  • oh, so just stuff I already knew lol. i was looking into 3rd party docks for S2 and found there are basically none aside from a shotty aliexpress one. Yeah not a fan of the change.

  • As someone who only uses fedora on all my PCs and iodé on my phone, I'm not sure why you think I'd say this just to stir up drama. I've done the research into what would be available on mobile relative to my current threat model and found its not ready, and will most likely not be ready for a long time unless were somehow blessed with another Steam deck like moment for phones.

    Also, can we stop the stupid spongebob chicken mocking text? It makes your response seem a lot more negative than it needed to be.

  • Everyone does run proprietary hardware with its own hardware vulnerabilities that could very easily be exploited and escalated without proper security. Unlocked bootloader leaves you open to very easy physical attacks. Phones batter is low and you need to charge it in a public space? You better hope no one had modified the charger with something like an RPI to silently exploit your phone. Crossing a border into a country and they suspect you're some sort of threat? There goes all your personal information directly to their government. Not running software that updates the hardware's proprietary software drivers? One text message and you've got a rootkit.

    You are more than welcome to run less secure and/or insecure software. No one is telling you you can't. If someone is on GrapheneOS however, they're probably not using it to be on a less secure os. Most people don't want a less secure os. I'm glad you currently have the option to do what you want, but this response to someone using a secure OS about how to stay secure didn't really need an "um ackshually" about people who don't want a secure os.

  • I agree with you, in fact the only reason I know about the security differences is because I wanted to jump ship when they started down this closing AOSP path. I found that at the current moment the security model won't work for me, and that I'd also have to buy a new phone just to get support. I really want to try out plasma mobile though, it looks nice.

  • I can't imagine someone who wants to use their phone wants to spend that time using it setting up sandboxing by hand.

  • 2026 is year of Linux phone

    Linux sucks on phones for security

    Why?

    Linux security on phones is not equivalent due to these factors

    but Linux supports these things which are either not exact equivalents or would take an entire Dev team with full time funding to do

    Can you find me a phone & OS that meets those requirements

    Why? that has nothing to do with the topic of Linux security on phones?

    are you being serious with me right now? what about my question wasn't "on topic"? If the hardware and software don't exist, its not going to happen and you're making a hypothetical argument to a factual statement.

  • I never implied it was, however if someone is using graphene as a way to achieve mobile security, it can generally be assumed they want said security if they switch to a different OS. Iodé and CalyxOS both support more than just pixels, and don't do data collection, nor do they sacrifice physical security. Mobile Linux on the other hand, has very little physical security, and very poor application sandboxing compared to the aforementioned android forks. It wouldn't make sense from a security perspective to skip over android forks directly to {postmarketos, Ubuntu touch, armbian/mobian, manjaro mobile...} unless your goal is to use a Linux phone without caring about physical security and app sandboxing (which would not make sense if you are using Graphene, and don't want to change your threat model too much while not supporting Google.)

  • Find me a phone that supports secure boot (which is not the same as verified boot btw), and a distro that will run on that phone that properly sandboxes applications (Flatpak does not count, as there are still many security flaws and missing xdg-portals in its implementation.)
