(Cat) Smartphone OS Replacement options

Recently I have bought a Cat S75. On their website they stated at the time that I will get at least Android Version 13. currently its still on 12, which is fine cause its end of life is not reached yet. With the current Version cycle I'd say the end of life vor 12 is expected in ca 9 months.

I have a Cat s41 as well, of which I had to switch away from cause there is some ancient android (~8) on it and it doesn't get any updates.

I am cautious with just trying out a new OS on my device, because I dont know how I would get back the old OS if nothing works, and Cat beeing a rather small smartphone producer makes finding experience-reports rather difficult.

Can I just expect a Linux/ degoogled Android to work on my devices? I'd guess not, therefore: Can I test that somehow? Is there a way to go back to the factory settings or smth like that if I am lost?

What platform are you playing Minecraft on?
  • Ye and with lithium and sodium it runs even better! No idea how its so good. And once I found controlify by isXander I didn't even need to worry about any mappings 😊 just a great experience overall

  • Pirates ask EU Commission to look into killing of video games
  • Peer2peer connections are very difficult. Mainly because clients are behind a NAT which allows only connections from inside to outside. So when a client wants to connect to another client one connection comes from outside and is blocked. There is a "bug" called NAT holepunching to still connect but that's not a trivial task and doesn't work on all setups. I recently tried out webRTC for a multiplayer game but I still don't know what to do with people where that connection can't be established. SteamAPI has a P2P feature as well, and when they can't establish a p2p connection they just silently route the packets over their servers.

  • What is the last video game that you were completely hooked on?
  • Cyberpunk 2077 when it was released. And then panam made me cry ( ._.) And that scene inside the robo is burnt into my brain xD

    I kinda didnt even realise alot of the bugs, cause I really enjoyed the story. I remember seeing the trees through the walls but the immersion/ my imagination was strong enough to mask them .D
