  • I can’t recall false positives being a huge issue for me, but it’s very late at night so my memory might be foggy.

    I honestly don’t use it a lot because I have a gesture which enables me to swipe down on the home screen to bring down the notifications and I’m just so used to doing that. Personally I have to adjust my grip to use the back tap feature, so it’s slightly inconvenient.

    Having the flashlight on the feature is something that I would like but unfortunately it’s just somewhat embarrassing to walk around with the flashlight turned on and false positives are a problem here.

    With the notification shade false positives don’t really matter.






  • The reason that most companies don’t want you to do that is because they don’t want people running around installing their own OS and doing whatever they feel like on company devices.

    Letting people do that would be an IT and information security nightmare.

    It’s the same reason that no (sane) company would give local admin privileges to everyone.

    The reason why companies generally don’t have an official way to use Linux is because it’s hard to support two platforms simultaneously. Especially when you have, certificate and/or AD network authentication for wireless and wired like we do. You also need to consider how the two platforms should interact with each other. For example Linux devices should be able to connect to the AD domain with Kerberos and need to be able to access SMB shares and probably other systems.

    In short it’s more complicated than “just let me try”.
