    I dont even remember when i was last excited about a new android version. Material You and 12 felt kinda exciting at first. But atleast for me the redesign was a mixed bag and it was the release where google seriously started to lock things down because of the childr… security.

    Last year i booted up an old Android 8 phone of mine and it felt just alright. Super snappy, less bloat, nothing was missing, the old swipe down menu still feels better to me after all this years.

      Yep! Android 10-17 are purely regressive. Pixel OS has had some extra new features sprinkled in, which lately just means Gemini party tricks, but the Android Open Source Project has been dead for a long time
