waydroid wont pass widevine beyond Level 3 which limits you to 720p, same as using firefox or chrome on desktop

Have you used windows recently? Microsoft doesnt bother implementing anything, the last 30% of the product is controlled by pwsh cmdlets. I spend just as much time in the terminal on Windows as I do on Linux

create problem, offer to fix problem if you pay... seems kind of like extortion, or in the very least abuse of monopoly powers

Stop enforcing DMCA and DRM protections and create an industry around circumventing US companies digital markets

I honestly dont know what would drive a Windows refugee to choose such a niche and likely unable to support them distro.

I get the impression a lot of people think that framework are a lot bigger than they actually are, in reality they are not much more than a start up

I was sold a device (pixel) that runs the software I want, if Google is taking that away, Google should offer to buy back my phone. Without Fdroid or control of my device its no longer fit for purpose

All I really need is calls, sms, a solid browser and some more robost messaging apps like signal and matrix/element - I'm a prime candidate for PostmarketOS if we ever get a stable piece of hardware. I have an old oneplus 6 that I've played with it on, its so close. If a flip phone could master that today, sure

I do use tap to pay, but meh I dont think I would miss it and android auto in my car could easily just be a bluetooth audio connection

I'm not sure why google is over engineering this, proper mainline distros have this solved since forever. Let the community setup trusted repos with gpg keys, then let me trust the repos. If Fdroid trusts the package and I trust Fdroid, who should care?

 

Instructions to add Plasma Discover package manager back into Bazzite using a Systemd Sys-Ext. Based on Travier's Fedora Sys-Ext work at https://travier.github.io/fedora-sysexts/ and relies on his base images on quay.

I'm really excited about the application of SysExts to bridge the gap many perceive in adopting atomic distros! This seemed like a fantastic solution to adding this tool back for those who want it, without the overhead of package layering
