My elderly, former programmer father is one. Too bad it took him 30 years after first trying but he is up and running now for about three months 😁️ Now to get him off the Apple phone and into an alt android OS....
@rhythmisaprancer @plyth I'm not even sure it's a good way to go. I mean from iOS to alt Android. In my oppinion AOSP is a secret Google weapon to limit real alternative (like #LinuxOnMobile ) growth. AOSP code is nearly 100% written by Google anyways right? They controll whole ecosystem. They can (and do) limit indie FOSS apps/devs. They can (and do) make it rely heavily on proprietary Play Services and so on. Just imagine where would mobile Linux phones be now, if there was no AOSP ever.
@ati1@mastodon.social I agree and would be all over a Linux phone that was viable for daily driving in the US. I already have to carry two phones and cannot manage a third haha. As for my father I mainly want him to explore some things and have some hobbies that work his brain. He is actually a great candidate for something like a Linux OS phone and I will be thinking about that for the future.
