Lol I haven’t used a PC in years mostly because of money problems, because Android mostly functions as a computer, I mean torrenting, VLC, uBlock Origin… I didn’t even need a PC, and again money issues, so i only had a phone as my main “computer”. Only recently got a SteamDeck and its my only PC.
Yeah, feel like most techy people who go out of there way to install a custom rom are going to have a PC in some capacity. Its those that don’t have a PC, but set up a custom rom that is more rare to see.
Those who only have phones I’d guess are those who tend to be less tech savvy, but not always. But, phone only people probably on average don’t know file systems with everything just being apps.
You can use Graphene’s web installer in a chromium based browser, even from another Android phone if you have one. So they don’t necessarily require a full blown PC. You can even do it from your steamdeck, if you were so inclined.
“Oh, you didn’t spend at least a few hundred dollars on a device that you aren’t going to use for anything except flashing a custom ROM once? What a moron!”
People who don’t own a PC at home are morons. To believe that they wouldn’t use it for anything except flashing a custom ROM on a device is pure hyperbole.
OK, what exactly does an average person need a computer for that cannot be adequately done on a phone? Because I do have a few relatives with computers that just gather dust permanently returned off, and they don’t seem to mind.
To create instead of consume. Mobile phone users are all tiktok brains who don’t have more than an ounce of attention and have lost the ability to create things. I know to someone who only consumes consumes consumes, that this would be a really alien concept, but PCs are there for creating things. They also do everything far more effectively than a mobile phone ever would.
I’m saying this as a general strategy for everyone. Roms basically require a PC, and a lot of people nowadays do not have one.
I’d venture a guess that most people who know what Graphene OS is probably own a PC of some sort.

Hence “most” haha

Those people are morons, and probably don’t care about their rights on their mobile device anyhow.
