MODERATORS
1 app on 76 apps is not open-source. So 98.7% of my apps are open-source !
I'm running GrapheneOS, so out of 82 apps on my phone only 10 packages aren't open-source. These include social media, messaging, banking, and Google Play Store/services. So around 88% FOSS.
I only use proprietary software on my device if there doesn't exist a FOSS alternative*.
*I know there are open-source options for social media/messaging but I don't really consider having to convert my whole social circle to a new platform to be a viable alternative.
I'd say about 90-95%. I use open-source GrapheneOS, get most of my apps from F-Droid and only need a hand full of proprietary apps like WhatsApp or Instagram (because basically all of my friends and family use them).
nice. since I made this post I've degoogled much more and opensource-d
Great to hear that you made progress on your journey :)
Well like 50% of my apps are open source but I still use android so I mean, how open source is it really. Anyone know of FOSS launchers? I currently use Niagara and it looks great but I'd love something open source
Kvaesitso is great. A search focussed approach to finding apps or files.
I've tried 10 or so launchers, and this one is the best so far.
I have 50 apps total.
Of the 50, 17 are system apps that can’t be removed (iPhone), leaving me with 33 apps that I’ve installed.
Of the 33 installed apps, 17 are self hosted and/or fully or partially open source apps & services, which works out to 51%
Edit to add: I choose open source whenever possible.
me too. open source software is the most privacy respecting and in a ton of cases it has more/better features.
I love open source. Both the philosophy, and the incredible usability of it all.
~150 total and 67 on f-droid/neo store so like half is FOSS
