I’ve been thinking of switching from Windows into some Linux distro. I haven’t given this too much thought. I have a laptop somewhere with Debian installed—or Ubuntu, I don’t quite remember—and I used to have Arch on it.

That part isn’t really too much of a concern. If I really want to switch, I can easily get it on my laptop, or actually buy a new laptop so I can have a Windows and a Linux machine for different purposes. My current laptop is a little… Slow, to put it kindly, regardless.

The Android side of things, however, is a little bit weirder. I know that there’s a lot of custom ROMs and OSes out there that increase privacy and de-Google your device and whatnot, but I simply don’t know enough about basically any of them to make an informed decision.

I’ve heard of GrapheneOS, which seems cool but is only compatible with Pixel phones, it seems. I’ve heard of CalyxOS too, but I’ve heard some less than great reviews; I like Futo and Calyx is sponsored by them, but I don’t put my trust there enough to just trust it. Maybe /e/OS is the best option?

I’ll look into it.


I need to start taking notes… I keep forgetting the stuff I want to write about when it’s time to write these posts.
