    Man, if only non-apple phone OSs were as easy to install and update as PC OSs are, those numbers would be very different

      it doesn’t even really bother me not being on the latest version of Android, if only they provided security updates and bug fixes. It could be like an LTS distro, nice and stable.

      But no, they just tell you to buy a new phone lol

        I actually just bought a new laptop from the 2020 era to replace my laptop from the 2012 era. Going from an Intel Core i7 3rd generation up to an Intel Core i5 11th generation

        I’ve been running Linux on it all this time and so it’s been properly up to date with security fixes and stuff like that, but I’m using it for compiling software more now than I ever have in the past and the dual core 4 thread processor just isn’t up to the task.

        If we provide them a way to provide us with more ads and tracking info when updated to the latest OS they will get us up to date ASAP!
