Sure there is. But not for wha people use their phones for.
Can I call an Uber from a Linux app? Pay for things with tap to pay? Food or grocery delivery? Public transit passes? Etc.
Windows phone tried to unseat the duopoly. The OS was surprisingly good. But, no one made apps so it died.
Same thing for Linux phones.
edit if Apple didn’t go through great lengths to cripple PWAs then it wouldn’t be as big a problem. But even all the various services are crippling their own websites to direct people to apps for that sweet sweet data harvesting.
I’m right there with you on the desktop side. The main reason I love LibreOffice is specifically because it isn’t bloated. It has a minimal footprint and loads fast, which is a breath of fresh air compared to the resource-heavy alternatives. Keeping that speed and simplicity is exactly why it’s still my go-to.
I’ve spent the last two decades in the AOL/AIM bot and exploit scene as Seven. I recently moved my archive from an expensive .io domain to https://www.google.com/search?q=sevlegend.com and built a custom V4.Prophecy-inspired layout to host my legacy source code, technical papers, and project logs.
I am currently declassifying and open-sourcing my private tools, starting with OscSeven and ecPrivate-Crack, for historical and educational study. I’d love feedback on the industrial UI and the archive structure.
