That depends, tho. I personally don't make much phone calls so it would work just fine... If I lived in USA, that is.

Also, that depends on the phone: one of the main concerns of the video is that gapps can bypass the vpn... And, well, I have no gapps ๐Ÿคท

To get a truly immutable experience install use squashfs instead :D

More like nix in general. Unless you need to setup some windows crap

So that it's possible for different versions of software/libs to coexist on the same system

It's called guix.

Well, yeah, luks + sb with custom keys + auto-lock when a usb gets ejected or smth is preferable

Dang, similar stuff happened to me on nixos. Had to instruct one of the relatives on how to reboot the machine and choose a previous generation in the boitloader ๐Ÿคฃ

That's kinda weird: shouldn't they recompile everything first and then replace repos' contents?

Allrighty, now we officially need a program (I'm hesitant to call it malware since technically it's for the user's good XD) that covertly replaces a running copy of windows with linux... Besides, I think it was possible before to install stuff like Ubuntu directly from windows?

It's not like you can't shoot yourself in the foot while using windows (not sure about macs, tho, but likely just as well). I remember breaking windows countless times while figuring out what service crap can be disabled, removing edge or defender, yada yada.

On the contrary, in my experience, if you're not actively messing with linux, it's overall more stable than windows. Like I had to install windows on an actual machine a short while ago, and it was a clusterheck. Drivers failed to auto install (touchpad/trackpoint drivers, for Chaos's sake), random bsod after an hour or so of normal use, etc. As for linux breaking on itself, I remember like 3 times that happened with me in my ~5 yrs of daily driving different distros, and 2 of those were fixable by switching to a tty (the 3rd didn't boot, as far as I remember, due to some incompatibility between bedrock and arch).

That's an interesting way to distro hop for sure

I mean, it's simple, elegant, and destructive AF given the right circumstances. Basically a chaos grenade we didn't realize existed
