As far as I know, it was in a worse state. What Elon did since he took over is basically reducing the running costs heavily among other things.

People tend to forget Twitter never made money so far.

I wonder why.

I wonder why.

LOS heavily hinders feature set, though. I wouldn't recommend to anyone that's not a techie, especially with MicroG.

Samsung features that'll get removed are:

• Camera. It'll work in LOS but quality will be much lower without Samsung's processing.

• Standby time. It'll last a lot less as LOS doesn't kill background apps like OneUI does.

• Any sort of audio video enhancement. Dolby Atmos will be completely gone. HDR enchantments won't be there either.

• Samsung DeX.

• HBM won't work automatically. On OneUI, if system detects you're under direct sunlight and auto brightness on; it'll boost the brightness above regular maximum. You can have this on LOS via LiveDisplay but it isn't automatic afaik.

• Phone will get hotter when it's used while charging. OneUI both lowers charging speed and lowers performance (unless you're in a game) while charging. LOS doesn't. It might get uncomfortably hot compared to OneUI.

• Noise reduction in voice calls barely work under LOS. This is especially true when calling on speaker, LOS is borderline unusable when there's even a little bit background noise.

Switching to LOS for a techie is fine, but recommending it to someone who you don't know how they use their device isn't great. If OP watches a ton of movies, OneUI will have much better experience. If all OP does is social media, LOS is completely fine.

There are basically no ads if you buy Samsung S series without a carrier.

Absolutely! Using open source software is much cheaper, as well. Hiring developers to work on open source software/OSs would cost less than buying software annually. Governments pay stupid amounts of money for easily replaceable software.
