This is at least a main part of the reason. I use an open source client for GOG on Linux, the only reason why is because they don't natively support Linux.

I did forget to mention something, provider support.

USA: Verizon doesn't work due to Verizon whitelisting devices. From what I have heard, AT&T and T-Mobile both work.

Australia: The situation is quite complicated. Due to the ECS determination, MNOs and MVNOs need to block phones that they can't verify can make calls to emergency services via VoLTE. As a result, Optus and MVNOs that use Optus have started blocking FLX1 phones. Telstra definitely still works, with multiple MVNOs confirmed to be working. But who knows for how much longer. Not sure if Vodafone (Australia) works or not. This mess in Australia is solely thanks to the Australian government. I do have faith that it will either continue to function on Telstra or, if blocked, can be made to work again in future.

Not sure about any other countries at this point, these two seem like the biggest concern at the moment from what I have read in the Telegram and forum.

For me personally, there are two main things preventing it from being a daily driver. First is instability of the waydroid container (I am having to restart waydroid multiple times per day currently) and second is that dual SIM currently isn't functional in software.

There are also a few general bugs and usability improvements to be made. Most of the modem bugs were fixed in the latest update, but I still rarely have an issue where mobile data just won't work for a while. Sometimes receiving calls is a bit glitchy too.

Some general usability things I have noticed that could be improved include UI/UX improvements and improved OOTB configs. For example, I needed to manually change pulseaudio config to enable USB audio devices. It also still doesn't automatically change to headphones when plugged in, but I think this could be enabled in pulseaudio config.

Ultimately, if you don't need to use Android apps at all and don't need a second SIM, you could probably daily drive as is right now with the latest update. It would take some getting used to though due to some of the UI/UX quirks (probably impacting upstream phosh too, but I don't have another device to test stock phosh).

I have an FLX1 and it is getting really close to being ready to use as a daily driver.

Yeah state ballot measures about abortion won't change a thing when it gets banned federally.

Some people aren't American. Some people (like me) just live in countries that follow USAs footsteps when it comes to politics.

Do people not realise that Trump will also continue it?

I am sure that if Trump has his way, you will no longer have rights to fight for. It comes to a point where you can no longer just fight the symptoms, you need to fight the disease. Americans just voted for the disease.

I (somehow) figured it out. Picture it as 3 separate pie charts stacked on top of each other. Or 57% as the base amount and each subsequent area is the increase on the previous amount.

2017 = 57% 2024 = 20% 2027 = 23%

You may be able to root the LG TV and use https://github.com/webosbrew/youtube-webos, which supports ad blocking and sponsorblock. Or you could install it with developer mode, but developer mode has a limited session time.
