Now I’m imagining this too.

This game is so good. I hope Larian builds something even better for their next go.

Yeah, I have an older Motorola phone that I’ve used to try and get Android alternatives, and none of those three systems will work on my phone. It doesn’t look like any of them will work on my new phone either, but that might just mean I have to try it.

Google/Android also seems to make it as difficult as possible to install any alternative system. The easiest I saw was /e/OS because it was all automated, but after about 10 minutes it informed me that my Motorola phone just wasn’t supported.

There’s such a long ways to go with this sort of thing, but I think it’s pretty clear that the world desperately needs a user-friendly, non-corporate alternative to Android/iOS.

It’s really a bummer that we’re all carrying around powerful little computers with us but the corporate operating systems for them use much of that processing power for their own data collection/profits/purposes and tries to prevent us, those of us who own the phones, from using that power for our own purposes.

There’s a lot of good stuff on F-Droid, and it’s nice to see a university doing a project like this.

I’m still waiting on a solid, consistent alternative to Android. It seems we might be getting there with tiny steps.
