It’s a fair take, but even still, someone who goes out of their way to get to fdroid and install Fennec should very well be aware of alternatives to Google.

An argument that discards knowledge as a factor only makes sense to me in a context of a tech illiterate installing Firefox directly from the Play Store.

Also, from my own knowledge (correct me if I’m wrong) the point of Fennec is to be as FOSS as possible, and not to have all the provacy-oriented defaults, if that were the case, I presume it would come with uBlock preinstalled, for example.

It’s also worth mentioning that Fennec never changes what defaults you set with updates (at least in my personal experience, would like to hear if anyone had a different story) EDIT my own default settings was changed to Google later that day. So can’t argue on that 😂

I know Google is bad and all, but in the case of Fennec, is it really that big of a deal? I say that because someone who knows how to get Fennec on their phones will also be aware on what search engine they use, so it’s not like the maintainer is advertising Google or anything IMO

Alternatively, you could try to install a GSI instead of a fully custom built ROM, that’s how I got a custom rom back when I had a Samsung A03 Core. But even then, the way android is locked down on each device along the absurdly short support Motorola offers is really infuriating.

I daily drive a moto g14 for about a year now. A rather basic phone, but thankfully still didnt have any software related issues yet :P hope motorola gives some care to your model tho

The reason why I stick with motorola is because the Android they ship is the closest to pure AOSP. (From what’s avaiable in my country)

dumb fuck ‼️

I managed to run Office 2007 and Office 2010, the latter requiring the winbind package to be installed.

But both of these are quite old, so Libreoffice seems more reliable to use anyway.

I managed to install Office 2013 (sometimes with success, sometimes not) and it ran close to perfectly, if it wasnt for the pop up menus disappearing :(

Is it avaiable on debian repos?

I got the icons and themes directly from a Mint install on another machine (cause I couldnt find these online) 😁

Not sure, but this one is a 2007 piece of art

Actually… You’re right about the 21st century lmao. I just wanted an excuse to quote Metal Gear Solid

Also, the issue is not ram itself, of course, 2GB is enough for lots of fun on Linux, it’s the CPU that’s killing me

Yeah, that’s what I’m researching right now… I hope I can at least make it useable enough for web browsing

This one is actually obscenely underpowered but obscenely large laptop

I didnt have the intention to compete, was just proud of seeing this 2007 laptop running a modern OS again!

I also daily drive LMDE on a… Considerably old inspiron, but not even close to being as old as the one in my post tho 😄

Yes, the title say lowest I ever ran That was the lowest for me, I really don’t get the confusion. And even then, a celeron m 380 was lower end even for it’s own time

But why would a 1.6 ghz, single core CPU not be low end in 2025? Perfomance itself is very sluggish, and it has only been able to do very simple offline tasks for now. Yeah, yeah, many people used to run 512mb ram and 500mhz cpu setups… But that was in 2000 and whatever.

Do you daily drive htop or something? 😆

Haha, I’ve been used to 4gb ram minimum for most of my life 😆
