I’m not going to criticize the project, because it’s good. But, to me, using anything that gives Google an edge in controlling the direction of technology is bad. So, no Chromium products and no Android.
I despise Google, and I agree with chromium, but when the only other alternative is using the proprietary walled garden that is iOS, I'll take degoogled Android everyday.
What can android do that you actually do that iOS cannot?
Personally, I like using the terminal on my phone, and the only terminal I found for iOS is extremely slow because its emulating linux.
You mean locally or for ssh?
I use it locally.
What sort of things do you want to do locally on your phone that you need the command line for?
Simple terminal applications like
pingorcurloryt-dlp. I also like usingpython -m http.serverto access my files over the local internet.w3msometimes works when my mobile data is very slow and can't load web pages. I also do usessha lot. I don't need it if I have ansshapp but it is nice to have, and I switched to android for it.
