  • Depends on the version, if it’s android 15, use GSIs with android 15 or higher, with versions equal or higher than the vndk on your device, then it will work.

    One example to the naming is in the Andy Yan’s LineageOS build:

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-21-pre-qpr2-light/

    {arm|a64|arm64}_{a|b}{v|g}{N|S}-{signed|vndklite|personal}
    |               |    |    |     |
    |               |    |    |     signed: Signed with maintainer's keys
    |               |    |    |     vndklite: For VNDKLite devices,
    |               |    |    |               or for writeable /system on regular devices
    |               |    |    |     personal: With personal mods, for reference
    |               |    |    |     (secure): Superuser removed and system props spoofed
    |               |    |    |               (not offered here)
    |               |    |    |
    |               |    |    N: No Superuser
    |               |    |    S: With PHH Superuser
    |               |    |    (Z): With Dynamic Superuser (not offered here)
    |               |    |
    |               |    v: Vanilla, i.e. no GAPPS
    |               |    g: With regular GAPPS
    |               |    o: With Android Go GAPPS
    |               |    (f): With MicroG and FLOSS replacements of GAPPS
    |               |         (not offered here)
    |               |
    |               a: "A-only", i.e. system-as-system (deprecated)
    |               b: "AB", i.e. system-as-root
    |
    arm: ARM 32-bit (deprecated)
    a64: ARM 32-bit with 64-bit binder
    arm64: ARM 64-bit
    

    With attention to the naming scheme, I think you can grab any that has the features you want. Oh, and microG now has a build that doesn’t need signature spoofing now, seems android doesn’t check the signatures on system apps agains the binary data, so just copying it to microG solved (from what I understood).


  • Depends on the GSI rom. Some have microG, some have play services, some have none, some come with debug variables enabled.

    In my understanding, GSI roms (project treble) are like a shell around the main android components, like firmware, so they are generic to every device, but some features might break. Here are some ROMs.

    There are some details, like vndk and vndk lite, A/B partitioning, if the ROM is signed, etc.






  • If I might say, schools in the past teached VERY badly (beatings were the least) and most of the time they only put people middle classed and above into them, if you were not at least middle class, you were in the mines. So comparing to today, people in the past, comparing socioeconomically, were a lot worst than today.

    It’s like comparing poor kids today agains the sons of kings in the middle ages, there were gaps in education, not everyone went to school in the past.




  • I was talking about gnome bugs, not that bugs affect extensions, my english is not the best.

    About the extensions, idk if there are wildcards in the metadata.json, but I think it would solve this issue of updating and then extensions breaking, because I’ve seen that the only extensions that break put only specific versions, so you can add the current version on the file when you update or update the extension manually.


  • I have a ThinkPad x1 tablet gen 2. These x1 tablets are very cheap when used or refurbished and you can install any linux distro, as they are using x86_64 cpus.

    I use it with gnome and cachyos, the optimizations really help and gnome has, in my opinion, the best touchscreen feel, it’s very polished for this.


  • Bugs happen every gnome version change, it’s a given, now it’s autorotate not working, but it will be fixed. But extensions just need updating, normally they give an update right before the version launch.

    But i never had seen the person on the second painel, gnome development works in this way, if you use a tablet on a bleeding edge distro, you are pratically on gnomes QA team hahahhaha
