Most people wouldn't think a smartphone OS was complete without an online component.

If you truly don't want that postmarketOS and a number of Linux distros work on some older phones and the pinephone now.



Reality: "Most people" can not even parse your assertion, much less take a position on it.


You can dump a device running GNU/Linux in front of them and when push notifications don't work the way they expect they'll tell you "it's broken."


To be fair, my 72 yo dad that never used a computer in his life nor possessed any smartphone, has a basic understanding of what is the cloud.

People are not dumb because they're not specialized in the same field as us.
