i guess that degoogled android suggests much much much better user experience. but i personally do not want to rely on something developed by a monopoly, and perceive android as an authoritarian product.

and prefer to rely on communities that develop not polished, but vernacular (i started using that word) software.

it is obvious that our vernacular solutions won't ever be match to something authoritarian monopoly can make. thank you, but no thank you.

I read an article from someone using a Palm m500 for modern purposes and I'm sorely tempted to try it myself. I actually kind of wish I kept the HP tablet I picked up when they were getting blown out as I loved that version of webOS.
