My wife was in software, like myself, before we married. Took a lot of courage on her part and leadership on mine to retire her into family life.

She's held onto her MacBook Pro as a remnant of her career. Well time flies and now it's 7 years old. We're moving her to the latest MacBook Air; better in every way but also symbolically letting go of the part of her that wants to remain connected with "pro".

From a #SovereignStack perspective, we've already moved all our albums to Ente and mail/drive/calendar to Proton.

Fewer and fewer reasons for her not to eventually join me on GrapheneOS. I don't think she'll even be getting a new laptop/desktop computer in 2030 at all; maybe a tablet, but I doubt it.

Out of curiosity, how is Ente photos better than Proton drive photos ? I don’t use the latter bc it doesn’t sync photo deletion.

Ente has a good head start over Proton Drive for photos.

Feels more like the UX you'd expect, photos first, not files first.

Long term, who knows.

I was convinced, currently uploading 50k photos on Ente 😉

I got my wife onto a pixel 4 (calyx) about 4 years ago & recently got her a pixel 9 with graphene.

She loves that the phone isn't spying on her.

I still need to put Linux on her laptop.

My hope is that Google stays in the tablet game and produces a new Pixel tablet with Thunderbolt 4 support.

Then le wives can use that as their full sized machine, even plugging into the office setup for large monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc...

I think desktop OS's will seem strange at home within ten years.

Not mentioned: GrapheneOS supports Pixel Tablet, but there are rumors Google wont continue it.

linux already seems strange to most users. if they cant use their thumbs they’re lost 😅

Yeah - I haven't found a suitable tablet yet.

I played around with an old touch screen running Linux but it was too clunky to use without the keyboard/touch pad.

Linux for mobile is a dead-end. So far behind and needs to be entirely rearchitected. No apps. Ship has sailed.

GrapheneOS + Android much better.

I do not think it is a dead end yet. The barrier to entry has to do more with hardware compatibility and access to device platforms that are not completely locked down with proprietary bullshit.

There is substantial work being done to make it happen. Unfortunately this is a slow moving progress.

Unless more manufacturers find value in it, or open source projects make more of their own devices. We will always be trailing behind.

Unfortunately true, Linux phones are still completely unusable.
