Good points, it is a long road as Google maps are probably among hardest apps to fully replace. Also, for the record two years ago Android auto made sure that Google maps don’t work with my car navigation either so even non-open-source might not work lol.
I would say that for 95% of usual tasks I don’t use terminal on Linux Mint Debian Faye 6 (LMDE), most of the software can be installed by double clicking a .deb file you download from the web. Compared to 10 years ago when I tried Linux for the first time (and reverted to Win back then) nowadys it is insanely more convenient to use.
Thank you I have updated it.
