I’m fairly new to Android, so have been using Nova on a friend’s recommendation since I got my phone. I installed Kvaesitso and can’t for the life of me figure out how to make it just look like what I’m used to.

I hate this shit. Why do people have to change my stuff!

There’s already a bunch of forks, GrapheneOS and LineageOS being two of the most popular.

Trouble is, this affects the app ecosystem. The overwhelming majority of applications are only available through the Play Store. Sure, there are alternatives like F-Droid, but your bank isn’t offering its app through F-Droid.

As someone with ADHD, my one use case for a smart watch is to send me notifications. If I take my phone out to see why it buzzed, I’m losing the next fifteen minutes to it.

I don’t need a £500 watch for that. The Garmin I picked up for £50 from FB Marketplace does it just fine, and the battery lasts damn near a week.

I have a bunch of old Samsung tablets that are all the same model, but they’re all running slightly different hardware. As a result a couple are running Lineage while a couple are stuck on the stock Samsung/Android because I just can’t root them.
