I recently bought a phone from Volla that ships with ubuntu touch. Somewhat painful, but entirely possible to use. I also backed the liberux indiegogo for a more modern proper mainline linux phone again.

I’m just not using any google play and ios exclusive apps and services anymore. Yea it’s painful but if you want to see an ecosystem outside of google play and ios, you have to buy and use it. Just be prepared to be the 0.1% that literally nobody cares about. Like when traveling I can follow my ICE train schedule on the Deutsche Bahn website, but it will log me out and delete my entire state after 15 minutes or so of inactivity. Or a couple of years ago I saw that uber had a web app and at some point wanted to order one for a group. turns out when trying to finish the order (which you can’t dry run), I got a generic error and someone with the app had to order. After uber sent me 125 marketing mails after that, telling me to order discounted food with uber eats, I think I finally unsubscribed (I only didn’t earlier out of morbid curiosity).

Personally I live by just not using this stuff is better than being like “oh I need waydroid to run android in a container and use the reverse engineered reimplementation of google play, and also need to fake some stuff to pass integrity checks etc. to use an E-Scooter”.

Not the most comfortable but if you get one with usb-c pd charging, there are quite a few powerbanks even with 100+ watt now.

I used it once to use the in browser bug report thing to request that they support immersive WebXR on linux.

Because I can log into the sync feature without the browser logging me into every single google service automatically with the same account.

Also the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension.

The arch wiki says

Warning: As SDDM will be treated as a separate window by KWin, logging in will close the window. Therefore logging out or switching user will present undesirable behaviour.

What exactly does this mean?
