Neither on Apple devices though? There aren't many exploits to "jailbreak" Android phones.

This measure is not linked with specific individuals and is further anonymized using a technology called OHTTP to ensure it can’t be connected with user IP addresses.

You can just opt out of data collection and that new search "feature" will be off too.

Some JetBrains IDEs are fully open source. Does Adobe have anything like that?

It's not likely that the driver will be mainlined anytime soon, so no. It's the same as with the proprietary kernel driver, except maybe some being able to patch problems with newer kernel versions by themselves.

I bet it also cost a ton as well lol. Well I'm jealous now.

What 4 year old laptop can handle that much RAM?

It does something different and doesn't ask to replace sudo everywhere. You brainless trashtalkers can't even read an article before you judge.

"Just"

Does the webpage say anything about the extension being unavailable or something? I don't know if stable Firefox has that one enabled. I use Nightly which had allowed all extensions for a long time and idk about Stable

something something ostree and how complicated the stuff it does actually is

being sick sucks

You think compiling a binary with a different toolchain and system paths is the same as exploiting a made up security vulnerability linked to a game for some reason. I'm done wasting my time here. /system/bin/uname -s prints Linux, that's enough.

Yeah but for e.g. the notification and quick panel, you need to modify the System UI app. It's like everything below the top panel in GNOME is replaceable lol

😳

Like ability to install different desktop enviroment?

Technically, with root access, yeah. It's just that Android's UI isn't a DE/WM in the desktop Linux sense

Almost all apps store settings in easy to backup .config folder.

And same for Android app data with root access. /data contains, well, data of apps and the general system. Sure, it's not the same as on desktop Linux, but it's still possible to modify, copy, delete with root access. Every app is a different Linux user on Android, and that's also just different from desktop Linux.

To me, you're just pointing out differences due to the software architecture of both OSes.

I use the Android PDF.js extension and PDFs work great for me.

AOSP is fully Apache-2.0 licensed except for the Linux kernel, so only their kernel changes would have to be. It's also an important reason why Android was/is so successful.
