My condolences
Its literally a surface product (yes they suck)
Yes, at least from what i know, maybe there is some DIY phones or maybe Nokia pulles some great phone out of their ass somehow, but currently i know only about the Pixels being actually good at what they do.
No, thats why its the requirements.
Nah sadly thats a potato custom. The generic breadboard isn't supported yet due to problems with the closed source of the chipset.
There are some in the potatoe.
Its not illegal for anyone else either, but them running such software for profit might be a licensing issue depending on the exact version they use.
Yeah but those are specifically designed for this. Linux Mint 22 isn't designed to run with what is basically nothing nowadays.
Tbh, im currently using a Pixel, they are... Actually quite good, even without another OS, wich you can install.
I even controlled what it uploads, it doesn't send data when i don't agree to it (living in EU) so im fine with it and a custom launcher (the normal one sucks).
I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.
Samsung can go fuck themselves when i cant change what my phone does I'll just use my fucking steam deck as phone.
This means you can find the pc and get THEIR OWN EMULATOR, make it open source and fuck them royally.
Nah its a surface book
