Now Linux dominates the industry. https://www.foxrenderfarm.com/share/post-id-72/

. Samba is a way to easily share files over your home network, with almost any device, including MS machines and Android phones. Here's a good tutorial that works on Mint https://www.how2shout.com/linux/install-samba-on-linux-mint-to-share-files-with-windows/ It's not the best, since it doesn't encrypt the file transfer. SFTP is a better way to share files, but it requires an app that can log in with a security certificate. You can use SFTP on Android with Solid Explorer and Material Files. #Share_Files_Samba

. Found another De-Googled phone provider. They're advertising on Gab. Here's the link to their website: https://privatephoneshop.com/?utm_source=gab If they're advertising on Gab, there's a good chance they're patriots. So if you're looking for a De-Googled phone, you might as well help get the parallel economy going and buy from them. On the other hand, I recommend putting your money towards a Linux phone, and dealing with all the headaches associated with a Linux phone. Help the Linux phone initiative get more traction. Do both if you're not sure which one you want! #Private_Phone_Shop
