Notes
- Due to some ratings not recorded, the exact average rating is unknown.
gollark: postmarketOS *looks* neat, but it does not seem production-ready.
gollark: If you go to some work you can run LineageOS or something with microG, and thus... not deal with the Google issue.
gollark: Well, I run android without google services, so meh.
gollark: Oh yes, those are quite bad.
gollark: While sufficiently large/powerful organizations can probably get around whatever security measures you're using *somehow*, I think current security stuff can be good enough that this is impractical and won't really happen.
