Notable people
gollark: I have an old also-Samsung Android tablet from 2016 or so (got it for free) which I might try and port postmarketOS too, if it's not too hard.
gollark: Oh yes, generally.
gollark: It's irritating that we ended up with such an awful software ecosystem on phones. You can typically get updates for *ages* on a desktop system, because they don't run stupid monolithic OSes with tons of hardware-specific garbage.
gollark: Custom ROMs are *mostly* available on popular Android phones, for a while, but it is not ideal...
gollark: Rather than having to download everything from the Apple walled garden.
