You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning (www.androidauthority.com)

Google’s Gemini team is apparently sending out emails about an upcoming change to how Gemini interacts with apps on Android devices. The email informs users that, come July 7, 2025, Gemini will be able to “help you use Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, and Utilities on your phone, whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off.” Naturally, this has raised some privacy concerns among those who’ve received the email and those using the AI assistant on their Android devices.

I use Linux since debian 3.0 and I don't think Linux is ready to replace desktop os yet. The universe has come up with bigger and more powerful idiots.

Linux had reached idiot parity with windows at least. Idiot proof OS is a fable that cannot be reached.

Maybe in "appliances" like the steam deck. There are still driver and software support issues. There's a big "familiarity" gap. There's a lack of pre-installed systems. We are not at parity yet.

You think there aren't driver and software support issues in windows 11?

Not what I said.
