Linux doesn’t have enough support

What? It works on everything I try it on. Perfectly. The only stuff that doesn't work perfectly are peripherals, but that same lack of support would be true in Android. Or do you mean native applications? Because even though that's true, you can run more on Linux if you include Wine/Proton and stuff like Waydroid.

peripherals

native applications

Sounds like you understand.

Wine/Proton

Almost never works outside of games.

Waydroid

Runs like Android 11 or some shit, so most apps don't work on there either.

Sounds like you understand.

My point is that Android is worse in terms of peripherals. And you're comparing Android with Linux which has better support.

Native applications are a decent point, but only if you keep it mobile instead of desktop usage.

Almost never works outside of games.

A lot of Windows software works.

Runs like Android 11 or some shit, so most apps don’t work on there either.

No idea. My point here is that Linux has more support because you can run more stuff on it because of easier emulation, compared to Android which is more limited and almost exclusively only supports Android apps.

But hey. I'm glad you enjoy Graphene in desktop mode. Just don't claim something that isn't true.

That hasn't been my experience but I don't have any objective data to back it up.

My point is that it doesn't. And it doesn't sound like you've even tried it.

I'm glad you enjoy Graphene in desktop mode

Doesn't exist yet. But we'll find out soon.

Just don't claim something that isn't true.

I've done no such thing. The fact that you can theroetically do things is not the same as reality.

Oh okay, well if it works for you, I must be wrong.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I asked you to defend your claim.
