Linux supports wifi aware. You can already create aware networks using the iw tool. (you need to check the nl80211.h for programmatic usage)
I don't know about android though it should also support it since newer android devices can also share to apple devices (this was forced by the EU using the DMA)

Lebensraum.
Only after the last tree has been cut down
Only after the last river has been poisoned
Only after the last fish has been caught
Then will you find that money cannot be eaten.

When you can't afford Arch Linux
You're using the meme wrong. The "at home" needs to be worse than the "mom can we get?"

Fairphone 6 gets a 10/10 on repairability
Reply in thread
Fairphones are pretty well supported with PostmarketOS which is mainline Linux. Audio support being one big feature that is missing on all of them. Luca Weiss from Fairphone is working on mainline Linux patches for these devices. The Fairphone 6 booted with Linux support on the first day it was released (though still missing many drivers)
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Category:Fairphone
I wish Fairphone would hire more People to work on Linux support

Me after Mozilla and Proton
I went all-in on proton a few years ago but I dislike the direction in which they are going now. Does anybody have tips on how (and where) to switch smoothly. I could self host email but I've heard that it's a big hassle

Can dumbphones revive Europe’s mobile industry?
This is dumb. Nobody is going to go back to dumbphones. Europe should fund projects like PostmarketOS which provide a fully free OS for mobile phones.
UbuntuTouch may be a bit more usable right now but it too depends on Android.
If Europe funded PostmarketOS and funded the development of a Linux-first mobile phone it would do itself a great favor.

Hmm. You can set the Download directory in the settings, by clicking on the settings button on the top left.
I didn't anticipate Localized Music directory names

Ich möchte gerade einen Treiber für einen controller schreiben, bei dem die register map nicht im Datenblatt steht. Das heißt ich darf den Android treiber für diesen chip reverse-engineeren und probieren rauszufinden wie es funktioniert.

Getting into Linux Development?
Great to hear that you're looking to get into PostmarketOS development! I recommend taking a phone that's already supported, using it and then figure out how improve support the device.
Porting/Mainlining a new device is also possible but that can be demotivating if it doesn't work and it's generally harder to get started with.
If you have any questions or need help you can dm me and I can help.

What is a food that you used to dislike but now enjoy?
School food ruined so many things for me. I used to hate rice and gyros but they are really tasty if prepared well

Which stage are you at?
Ahhh. Put NixOS and VoidLinux at the end

Do you encrypt your drives and why or why not?

Android definitely has encrypion, but it is just the user data not the programs. It you ever run mount on an android device you will see that it has lots of different partitions for that sort of stuff
