I disagree. Linux (especially a top-notch distro like CachyOS or Aurora) is quantitatively and qualitatively superior to Windows in several aspects (performance, filesystem features, workload-specific kernel tuning, DE customisation etc). Several benchmarks out there that can show you the performance edge Linux has over Windows. Plus there are several features completely missing from Windows, like atomic updates, immutability, not to mention all the cool features found in filesystems like btrfs. Of course, Windows has some benefits too, but making a sweeping blank statement like "All FOSS consumer operating systems suck" is very egregious and insulting to the all volunteers around the world, who continue to work tirelessly to make FOSS better every single day.
I desperately want to use it, but it runs on precisely no decent hardware as far as I can tell. My attempts to get it working on the fxtec and furiphones failed miserably.
Agreed. Linux is the future, fk Android. GrapheneOS should stop wasting their efforts on Android, when they could've contributed towards PostmarketOS or similar, or even made their own distro. Working on Android is a complete and utter waste of time and effort.
Yes, let's abandon a very mature OS that is still open source, has millions of apps, and billions of users by one one that was designed for desktops, with a security posture fitting the 90s, virtually no phone apps unless you emulate said very mature OS, and which will have all the same problems with remote attestation, etc. </s>
Yes, I'm sure the billions of people will read the advice of a random commentor on a niche site and throw away all their handsets running a "very mature OS" and cause a crisis. </s>
All FOSS consumer operating systems suck. We only tolerate them because they are FOSS.
