alt Hacker NewsI am on Graphene OS now and they will really need to think of something revolutionary to get me back. No, nice GUI is not enough for all the years I have lost, desperately trying to adapt. Now, think of the normal, everyday user, not prepared to even buy a specific phone release for Sailfish. And this is how they will lose users. I consider this as constructive criticism from my side.
Believe me, I am in front row, for wanting the linux to succeed against bastardized OS as android is. But the wrong decisions are just wrong decisions, there is no excuse to it.
The revolutionary part is full linux with root a checkbox in the settings, no need to flash fishy roms, compile graphene yourself etc, it is mostly aimed for linux geeks who like to tinker, if you're fine with android, it's probably not for you (no matter how much they push for it being usable by normal users, there's always fixes/tweaks/workarounds that you'll need to use terminal for, or wait for proper fix, but again full root access is a checkbox in settings that will install terminal for you, for geeks it's the best option out there)
