Hello,

It's been a while since I started finding Whatsapp alternative, I found IRC, XMPP, Signal etc, however the thing is that I can't convince other people to use Whatsapp, I can't say that "ohh it's bad for privacy" otherwise they will say "you are not a president, nobody cares about your messages". also I don't live in western country so I can't just say "I don't want to use Whatsapp" otherwise people will get mad saying "you are not a VIP, everyone uses whatsapp and you are not special".

however I found a way so that people won't blame me for not using Whatsapp, I have to somehow get banned from Whatsapp and then when people ask "why don't you use whatsapp" then I can say "ohh umm I don't know it stopped working, you can find me on Signal". that way people will be ready to install Signal to talk to me.

what are your thoughts? is it even possible to get perma banned from Whatsapp?

Hello,

I was looking to make a custom ROM for my device as a hobby project however I have zero knowledge of Android. I have never compiled AOSP myself nor used a custom ROM for a long time.

It would be great if we have a Android wiki like we have Arch wiki

Thanks in advance!

Greetings,

I wanted to know if the first partition has to be FAT32 and should be mounted at /efi . Gentoo and Arch tell us to always have first partition of type FAT32 however they mount it in different location. I am confused can anyone elaborate please?

Hello,

I try out new distro every week since I have a lot of free time and want to learn more about Linux. I was thinking that it would be interesting to make a Lemmy post every week talking about my experience with the distro and what I did with it. right now I have alpine linux installed and thinking about using it till next sunday.

feel free to suggest next distro that I should try out. (I have tried out a lot of distros but never wrote anything about the experience but now on I will be making post about it here on Lemmy :) )

Hello,

just wanted to share the idea. I was thinking about installing Android on Laptop just like it's already installed on mobile. I know it's possible using Waydroid but It would be nice If we have a distro that provides an iso to install stock Android(or Lineage OS) so people could easily install Android on their Laptops. I don't know if anyone has already tried it or not.

Edit: Thank you guys for the suggestions I am going for BlissOS and PrimeOS :)
