Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Trying to go "open source" is so infuriating. LineageOS results in no cellular data connection (Can't figure out APN Stuff), and trying to restore Motorola's Factory ROM requires windows... (sh.itjust.works)

Literally every time I use Open Source stuff, I get a massive headache.

Idk wtf I'm doing

Every little problem requires copy-pasting stuff from a random stranger on a forum.

Too noob to do this nerd stuff

Yeah LineageOS tends to be hit or miss, the project is maintained by volunteers so dont have high expectations.

I had a Xiaomi phone for where phone calls were very laggy on LineageOS. I'm currently on OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5g using LineageOS and works wonderfully. To avoid ending up in situation where LineageOS doesn't work, next time look up info about a particular phone: XDA forums are good.

If you ever can, I'd recommend GrapheneOS as it has best functionality.
