Literally every time I use Open Source stuff, I get a massive headache.

Idk wtf I’m doing

Every little problem requires copy-pasting stuff from a random stranger on a forum.

Too noob to do this nerd stuff

    Everyone is a noob at first. Stick with it! and good on you for giving it a go!

    You’re braver than me. I desperately want to degoogle, but my phone is everything. If it doesn’t work, my life doesn’t function. As a result I haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Too scared.

    I’m taking it one step at a time. I’ve cut Windows out. That’s enough for now. My plan next is to do away with Gmail and drive, but honestly that’s gonna be harder. I have an annoyingly complicated email and cloud set up and I don’t know where to start.

    Oh, and I’m a professional software developer, so give yourself a break

        I have a Fold 6 with an xteink x4 attached to the back of it. My pockets are stretched as it is!

        But ye I’ll probably do this when I’m ready to switch. I’m waiting for a really solid true Linux phone first though

          Reminds me of when the original Galaxy Tab 7 was my only phone. It was chunky but still fit pockets somehow. Was comically large but a good piece of kit back then.

          Your combo sounds more lumpy.
