Definitely try it, using NixOS after the "horrors" of Arch feels much more secure. Your system is basically unbreakable, not unintentionally, at least.
NixOS user spotted!
AFAIK, you can flash a de-googled version of Android TV on some devices, look up LineageOS' website.
Thank you, these are great tips!
My friends and I have been joking too much about this naming scheme without even mentioning what appears to be the intentional meaning... I feel rather dumb.
I've never seen capitalism explained better than this.
I don't really get where the money is coming from.
I meant to convey my thought in the context of the person above refusing to switch to Linux because of "re-buying stuff" (they've already clarified they were talking about games). I do agree that people of little technological literacy wouldn't be willing to put in the work to get everything working.
My stance on it is that everything comes down to individual situations. I've installed Ubuntu on my mother's laptop and she's been nothing but happy about it. I just think we shouldn't gatekeep FOSS and encourage others to use it. Whether to actually try it or not is always up to the end-user.
It's good to know, thank you. Is GPay completely out of limits on Calyx (or any ROM in general)?
Exactly what I am facing right now. I consider myself a privacy-concious person, but there is just no way of getting some things working consistently with open-source ROMs. The only major factor for me is GPay, which has become the only way I pay for things nowadays.
If a piece of software requires you to re-buy itself for a different platform why would you use such an application? I don't get why people choose to torture themselves when there are SO many alternatives to literally anything.
Edit: thanks for the clarification on the re-buying part. Doesn't apply to you then สโฟส

You are much better off using a Pixel with GrapheneOS as far as privacy and security are concerned. Believe it or not, Google Pixels are the best smartphones to use de-googled. Truly outstanding.
Look up why Graphene team only supports these phones, it's on their FAQ page.
