Alternatively, you could try to install a GSI instead of a fully custom built ROM, that’s how I got a custom rom back when I had a Samsung A03 Core. But even then, the way android is locked down on each device along the absurdly short support Motorola offers is really infuriating.

I daily drive a moto g14 for about a year now. A rather basic phone, but thankfully still didnt have any software related issues yet :P hope motorola gives some care to your model tho

The reason why I stick with motorola is because the Android they ship is the closest to pure AOSP. (From what’s avaiable in my country)

I think one of the reasons why I can do gaming exclusively on Linux is because I hardly play competitive games, so I didnt miss Valorant, League of Legends, Apex and the like. But it’s still a reeeeal shame that these games insists on blocking Linux tho.

Completely valid take. I think that most Linux gamers dual boot (at least inside my circle of friends) (but no me tho, I’m Linux exclusive!) I think that when people doscuss Linix vs Windows, they often forget that you dont necessarily need to get rid of one system in favor of the other, you can simply integrate Linux into your workflow.

But isnt this like asking “Show me how to run Nintendo Services on the PS5 and I will switch”?

Windows has it’s own ecosystem just as much as Linux has it’s own ecosystem, so expecting Linux to run everything Microsoft is kinda of unreasonable IMO.

To switch an OS also means to switch an ecosystem. You wouldn’t move from Android to iOS expecting it to run Android’s .apk, right?

I’m not criticizing you tho, if a service you rely on doesnt work on Linux, then Linux isnt for you, and you’re free to use Windows, an OS is just a tool after all 😁

I did a clean wine install and could confirm that OPL Manager indeed does not launch, which is kinda intriguing to me, since it did work with me about 2 years ago, this user also reported it working (in 2016) , maybe something changed along the way and it broke? I’ll try to make it work when I get another chance :P Unless OPL-PC-Tools proves to be good enough to replace it for ya

About HDL Batch Installer, I personally never used it, so I’m not sure on how it works and all, BUT, with some research it seems like HDL Batch is just a frontend for HDL Bump, while Batch is windows only, there seems to be an alternative frontend for Linux, called HDL Dump Helper but I did not test it nor do I got a ps2 right now to do so. Wish you best of luck 😁

Back whe I used OPL, OPL-PC-Tools worked fine. OPL Manager specifically also ran fine under wine for me.

If you find the time you could do some testing under a live media enviroment, I recommend Linux Mint if you haven’t tested it already :)

Apparently, its only okay to make spyware when its made by a US or European company

EDIT: Just want to point out that that’s not what OP said, it’s just a trend I often see around the Lemmy community

I’m not saying latin america has seized relations with US, just pointing out some of the reasons why China is growing its influence on the continent. Their friendly prices and big investments are much more appealing than empty US promises, as shown in the Summit of the Americas

Latin America is NOT US’s space. This imperialist view of the world that some west nations show is the reason why Latin America is distancing from them

That’s why I only use Newpipe

Where’s 2latino4u gang? 😭
