gollark: Maybe? Part of the reason *I* use custom ROMs is to avoid Google services and stuff, which are preinstalled and unremovable by default.
gollark: I don't think it has good theming natively still, and in any case they let you get updates for longer and stuff.
gollark: There's a guide and stuff, but I'm not sure how hard it would be to actually do.
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.
