@dantescanline@autonomous.zone the os is ancient and insecure as well and shouldn't be used. However‚ it suits my little needs and the bootloader is closed leaving me with very few options. My next device will most likely have linux with Gnome though

@rangelovd@mastodon.ml @dantescanline@autonomous.zone 8 years ago, Android 8.1 was just freshly released. Here's what Android Studio defaults to for the minimum SDK version for new apps. Even if some developers might change this, most won't, so most new apps simply won't work on Android versions older than 10.0. And that doesn't even consider that some apps will opt to even higher version requirements simply because they require or wish to use newer features (like secure key storage, specific hardware APIs or similar).
