I installed PmOS on my old Xiaomi redmi note 9 with KDE Plasma Desktop. It works remarkably well, with the exception of sound. I am using it as a full Linux PC when I am on the go with my large power bank and a full sized folding keyboard/track pad.
For my use case it's beyond great, albeit the small screen and the aarch architecture I can develop small projects as if I was on my PC.
My current phone OP13r doesn't is supported yet by PmOS, when someone does it Im gonna try to install it on one of the slots.
This only runs on the user computer. It does not allow any control of the baseband modem computer. Alternate operating systems of the user computer do not change the fact that one does not own "their" smartphone.
I've been dual booting windows/arch for almost 1 years now. Except the rare case that windows fucks my grub and I have to mkconfig again it'd been smooth sailing.
I have them on the separate nvmes and I disable Linux nvme before I boot into windows.
Last time I accidentally inserted encrypted pendrive I use in Linux when my windows was booted, it immediately offered razing the partition to the ground, creating a new one and quick formatting it. Very helpfully "OK" was preselected. If I was a bit more tired I'd be a bit sad.
Windows is intentionally hostile to anything non-windows. Enjoy your dual booting while it lasts :)
If it's good enough for Linus Torvalds, it's good enough for me :-)
I'm not a professional programmer, I just want to have more control over my computer. C seems like a full time job to learn and not shoot yourself in the foot.
