@cwebber@social.coop Language and branding is important in conveying ideas and setting expectations for the general public. For example, Apple managed to convince people that “a Mac” was a totally different type of thing from “a PC”; if it's different, maybe it's better. And an “iPhone“ is not the same type of thing as a “computer”, so don't expect to be able to do everything a “computer” can; it's a new different thing.
So I think we need a word that means a local-first computer that you actually control. “PC” is already taken; “sickobox” is (alas) a hard sell.
I propose we use the word #cyberdeck. A *cyberdeck* means a local-first computer that you actually control. My #PinePhone with #postmarketOS is a prototype cyberdeck.
@modal@mastodon.design are trying to make a ready-for-primetime cyberdeck.

Fair enough, each to their own. Main reasons I've used #UbuntuTouch for over 10 years are (1) it is a phone, with calls, camera, music etc that actually work - and well; (2) it has a good store of apps that work on handheld devices; (3) it's not Google or Apple. I have a handheld device with #PostmarketOS too, and it's nice and all that, but not yet actually a working phone. When it matches the capability of #UbuntuTouch as a daily driver I might switch, but it's not there yet. I appreciate all the work that the developers are putting in on both OSes.

Je vois qu'il est possible d'installer #Ubuntu touch ou #PostmarketOS sur un #Fairphone4. Avez vous des avis sur ces deux OS ?
