My sister still won't speak to me for a joke I made months back- and it's her birthday next week. I'm printing this and putting it in her birthday card. Maybe I'll get lucky and she'll never speak to me again. [/joke]
I'd love to. I bought an early pinephone and after about a day of trying to make it do basic functions I gave up. I'd LOVE to have a real Linux option but in my experiences so far we're not there yet. I don't see a better option than Graphene at the moment- it's that solid.
Interesting perspective. May I ask your age? I'm going to be 48 this month and while I have similar relationship experience, to the point that I don't have any experience at all for the last 20 years- I feel like the last thing the world needs is someone as broken as me raising a child. I can't be trusted to do the dishes these days.
I'm a linux user myself, but can't see ARM doing anything particularly well in a laptop in the near future, at least outside of the Apple cult. Even S76's high power ARM desktop looks (to me) extremely limiting versus a comparable AMD machine.
VLC has been great on graphene for a year or so but recently started having issues playing over bluetooth in my car. Tried a few open source options from FDroid but wound up going back to Omnia (Sandboxed play store) for now. No more playback issue for a few days now.
Seemed to happen when I got Graphene's Android 17 update, but I can't say for sure it was that. The issue I have with it currently is that playback audio cuts out in the car, but the screen still indicates it's "playing" - track time still ticking. I'd have to tap to pause and tap to resume to bring it back, and it would only last a few minutes before doing it again.
I think it's likely less VLC's fault and more likely an Android 17 thing.
The open source apps I tried worked a peach, but didn't let me use the car's (Honda) menu to browse music or select albums. Most of the ones I tried didn't even appear as options while trying to use the car to change what music I was listening to.
Edit: Realized Omnia's not working in that way now either. Guess I'm changing albums by touching the phone for now.

But no really- fingers crossed. [/joke?]
