The experience of using a degoogled phone, both from the AOSP and Linux side of things.

I had to update to description since people kept thinking that I made the video.

    Canonical, a UK-based software company mantains it though, the snap packages are also proprietary

      “They” maintain it in the same way that they “maintain” Linux Mint. Which is to say technically they operate the repository that the OS is built from. But that’s misleading as the main OS is built by the German foundation as an immutable OS. That means that the OS packages are tested by the foundation and you can’t install everything else from the repo. Additional software comes in the form of click packages, which as you might have noticed, isn’t snap. Snap support is very much in development at the moment, but only as an additional package manager. Snaps are also mostly open source. The client, the thing that runs on your hardware is free software. It’s the server that’s proprietary.

      Ubuntu Touch uses deb and its own fully open source package format called click - none of the system or system apps is installed as snap. It has support for installing snap packages though, although there are still some bugs in using these.
