There’s also a still in-development rival for GNOME, Valent. And it’s a native program and not just a shell extension. I prefer it, and maybe it even has more features.

Gestures don’t work with them too nicely. Also the recents screen is still from the built-in launcher, unless with root access of course

maybe because a huge fraction of users wouldn’t understand more advanced tutorials, or it’d be just too much effort

idk tbh, SafetyNet / Play Integrity have existed for a while

Kinda makes sense. A paid app on Google Play is a license to download the .apk file(s). Then a user could make copies, and without DRM, it’d be the same situation as with copyrighted movies and whatnot.

I’m not saying I support them, it’s just that they are like this for a reason

Maybe everyone was just OK with mobile devices being locked down heavily from the start, and now it’s more or less the same level for most

Is the bootloader unlocking requirement that FRP is not triggered a hard one or just because the settings screen isn’t (or shouldn’t) be reachable? Now that OEM unlocking and FRP aren’t tied together anymore, it doesn’t seem like a hard one

This could still be bypassed by flashing a new OS that deliberately messes up the userdata wipe-persisting secrets. Well idk if there’s a way to prevent that, but I guess really needy and tech-savvy people could recover lost devices that way

Looks like they “just” have to stop signing in with a Google account, and may have to enable adb and install apps using it / e.g. Shizuku

geeking out over what and playing what

where’s the fake and gay comments

jokes on you one of my not so much into linux friends had it and his setup kept breaking, now he’s about to install fedora

Kinda makes sense, it’s different “voices”

That doesn’t mean it constantly requires a mesa git snapshot.

There’s the org.freedesktop.Platform.GL{,32}.mesa-git runtime(?) so that seems wrong. What app always needs the latest snapshot mesa version anyway?

uses its own libraries and not system libraries, want to play the hit new AAA game with steam flatpak? get fucked it requires a mesa commit that was merged 8 hours a go and you’re stuck on 23.0.4 and can’t use the git release.

Can’t you just install a git snapshot of mesa in a flatpak and use that? Then it’d be an upside

That’s still not the same as impersonating a known app or developer though

Since you need to pass a manual review during initial submission of the app, no, you can’t
