But still good reasons, anyway.

Bring back the smaller phones!

That's amazing.

Here in Brazil, we had the government encouraging free software in the 2000s, but the projects and policies were all abandoned.

And to think we could have a similar adoption to yours today... sigh...

Back then, people didn't understand how such projects give benefits in a long timeframe, and wanted immediate results,, something impossible.

Even more important is to see the windows downtrend. We need competition, keep it going!

One trick is to have anold android phone. I created a couple of accounts last year without giving any personal data by using a device with android kitkat.

I feel the same. I can't recommend it to anyone anymore.

But a lot of things changed in these years. Installing software, for example, became so easy using the gnome store, that it lowered a lot the entry barrier.

The few times I find myself using windows, I realize it's not easy to use, as many claim. I believe it's mostly a matter of a computer culture that created around it, and changing cultural traits is really hard

Congrats!

Enjoy the freedom and don't be afraid to ask for help. In time, you will see yourself helping others and contributing to the community.

I'm running lineage os on a 7-year-old phone, and I can confirm.

Mine stopped sending emails all of a sudden this week. Are you able to send emails using k9 with a gmail account?

I see now. You made some good points. Indeed, the targeted userbase doesn't care about how the system works, so they may have a conflict in there,
