It's pretty clear that you have an extremely limited exposure to the custom Android development space, since you never rebutted any of the points I brought up. Custom android was never easy and never will be. And it's fundamentall

I hate the power button change myself, but 1. It was turned into the Assistant button by default for many years now. 2. Can be switched back easily in settings. > there's 50 apps you don't need Where are you getting your pixels

What are you talking about? You're making zero sense. I've been in the niche of modifying and installing my own ROMs, then to kernels, and now doing the same things commercially. It is a niche, it always was. There was never a mas

The swapiness section is incorrect. If I remember correctly swapiness does the same thing for swap and zram, which is how quickly the given partition starts to fill up. So for swap on hard drives you want it as low as possible, so you'

Kind of same, I bought my LCD deck in late 2022, got a 1Tb SSD but just never really vibed with it. The only game I truly enjoyed on it was Disco Elysium. Will see if the new game from ZA/UM is any good. If not I'll just sell it a
