  • Yes, but you are not describing how the elite lives, or does business/opportunities.

    They have people for the toughest of work & decisions. Their only work is moving capital around & giving general ideas to people working for them. The people working for them are paid millions.
    (The “manual labor”, such as designs or wherever, is like a hobby, not a business/success necessity.)

    There is an unimaginable difference between people with 10s of millions (“rich”) vs billions.
    (And, since you mention ‘promotions’, there is a total mentality shift between the owner class & the working class, even when the latter get paid millions.)

    And/Tho workaholics aren’t really tied to a class.
    I know plenty of workaholics that are lower or middle class, overworking themselves bcs they can’t really not do it, even when they know they are missing on family time & extra work won’t provide extra finances.

    Once basic needs met (air, water, food, shelter), I believe that money can start creating more problems for people than it solves.

    No.

    The whole mentality of “yo, it’s really hard to be rich, not worth it, feel sorry for me” is literally just propaganda for the workers to be docile & keep working dead-end jobs.

    With tons of money comes tons of distractions, and temptations; there aren’t any poor people on the Epstein list.

    Plenty of low-income junkies.
    Plenty of low-income pedofiles.
    Just their surroundings are different if they are billionaires. And their power and immunity too.

    Its just people, all of it, with the difference that a few benefit from the work of/added value by many.













  • I think all of those (Arch, Gentoo, Void) have unofficial or forked immutable versions. But I’m wondering why the immutable distros aren’t for “tinkerers”?

    But I get it, and agree, current Linux phones arent for non-“tinkerers”, but isn’t that just how all things start in foss world/early unstable non-foss software projects? Surely that wouldn’t be the long-term goal.

    Like Linux RISC-V desktops/laptops, but that is just the beginning.

    Maybe that isn’t true but the original topic was “why Linux phones when AOSP forks exist” and I think “tinkerers” might think this way about Android.

    Oh, definitely, but that is just the first/current stage.

    My added comment is that, besides the tinkerers, AOSP is still in danger of Google (bcs it is by Google) - they are closing/trying to close down there open-sauciness of it (I know, the licences, but megacorp), delaying publishing the sauce code, and in the near future, I’m sure is it, making decisions that would be increasingly hard for AOSP to be used benevolently (they arent at the moment so hard on this bcs driver availability locks down what Android you can install on your phone).

    The phone market and society would benefit long-term of Google wouldn’t have a monopoly in so many key areas.


  • Sorry, I couldn’t follow/I don’t think I understood you.

    Why wound you want or need to run anything via CLI?

    Most Linux users never use anything CLI (similar MacOS & Windows). Why would Linux phone users? And what does that have to do with android app devs?

    The difference between Android and “proper” Linux? You said it:

    But (what I said is that) all of that you can get in various Linux distros too - what I was saying that the basic divergence for devs is Google/Android SDK.
