I was digging through some stuff and stumbled on this. To think it’s been 15 years. Crazy what you used to be able to get a free CD of back in the day.

To bad there’s no app to turn your phone itself into a live USB, I would have loved that a few months ago

Unfortunately my phone is not rootable (every phone I get from now on I’m gonna do more research on first to make sure I don’t make that mistake again) but otherwise yeah that’s amazing

I feel you so much on this. My previous phone was a Samsung Note 3 and man that thing just kept going. I used about 5 different ROMs on it over the years. But it wasn’t keeping up with apps anymore. Thought I did thorough research when I replaced it with a S9+. Realised too late that some models can’t be rooted and guess what I have? Yep, one of those models 🤦🏻‍♀️ Now stuck with Samsung crap for the next however many years because I can’t afford to just buy a different phone. Even more so because the screen has cracked twice (fixed first time, can’t afford again). My Note3 got thrown off a 2nd story deck onto concrete twice and abused by my kids and kept on trucking no problem (apart from some scratches and dent to the frame). This S9 feels like it breaks being sneezed at 😞

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
