This has some good info.

The main change with 2.0 is the Debian Sid base, as opposed to Ubuntu.

The latest developer preview build in an early alpha of 2.0. It is noticeably less functional than the latest stable release, which is still built on Ubuntu.

If you want to play around with their package manager and distrobox, I'd suggest trying out the latter.

UBlock, Privacy Badger, and Decentraleyes all do different things, though, so in this case there is no reason why you can't have all running at the same time.

They really need to bolster their software support. It's really the main thing keeping me from considering a ZenFone for my next upgrade.

Fuck me. TIL that was Tom Waits.

One wonders why but each to their own, I guess.

I don't know about open source, but the only Android app that comes anywhere close to the functionality of GIMP/Krita/Photoshop is Infinite Painter, AFAIK.

There's a difference between purchasing a product and paying for a service.

Paying for Spotify would be the latter.

Ah, I see. If the phones themselves support > 3.0, that would certainly be less egregious.

This is irrelevant.

We're talking about smartphones here, and most new Android phones support > 3.0.

Limiting a flagship phone in 2023 to USB 2.0 transfer and charging speeds is a cheapskate move.

Viruses mutate, and COVID has mutated continuously since it has been in the wild. All those shots did serve a purpose to continue to provide protection, and that this one will too.

It's somewhat baffling that this needs repeating after three years of COVID, but yet here we are.

About damn time.
