Do most people here actually use GNU/Linux OS on a computer AND a Custom (Non-OEM) OS on your phone? (Is it Neither, Only one applies, Or Both applies?) (piefed.ca)

Curious about the overlap. I wonder if its actually that much of what appears to be a consensus on Lemmy, or just a loud minority.

Stock iOS. Computer is windows/macos. Server is proxmox/debian/ubuntu mix. Router opnsense.

For better fit for worse, I like to narrow my options. I don’t want to choose my GUI, with a million ways to configure it, etc. I do run a home server and that gives me an outlet for fucking around if the mood strikes.

Is (relatively blindly) relying on Canonical and GitHub etc. really an advantage over relying on Microsoft or Apple? Sure, open source can be reviewed but Heartbleed and other similar vulns suggest people aren’t catching things; even the Linux kernel is AI coded these days.

Work is totally different than *nix admin but it is still tech and I’m kind of burnt out on it. With that said, with the behaviour of USA lately I’ve become very aware of the centralisation of the internet and I’m working towards more selfhosting and less reliance on big tech. If proton fires their AI booster I’ll move my domain there quickly.
