One inconsistency I stumble stumble upon is how to change hostname: How to change phone name? - #7 by abranson
this is a rather unconventional way to change hostname I have not seen elsewhere
Edit to go back to the core topic :
I see many positive reactions in my mates when they see SFOS: there appears to be a general interest in alternatives to tge Duopoly, but what keeps them away is
a) technical complexity to maintain the system, not being afraid to reflash and having a proper backup strategy in place for this
b) the felt need to have application XYZ on a smartphone for which there is no native app or platform support.
a) is for me not of concern, I cannot code but maintain my private Linux BSD machines since more than 20 years with the paradigm that machines do what I tell them to do, not the other way around
b) is for me not of concern, I killed platform dependency out of my life as far as possible
But, how many percent of the general population is with a compatible mindset not to be shocked by the fact that you need some level of competence in a) and b)?
Maybe this limits the market share SFOS can currently gain…
What always glues me back to SFOS is the attractive and simple UX which I cannot find elsewhere…
Simplicity of Linux combined with this beautiful Silica UX is top notch for me…
