Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it’s ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & the battery life is incredible now.
I hope people understand how easy it is to move to Linux & GrapheneOS full time & remove Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. It exceeded expectations so much so that I want to share it with other people. I cannot recommend this enough to improve your life. #FOSS
Saw this, and thought it was a rather interesting comments section. Seems like an active discreditation campaign going on. Focussing on past maintainer and the fact it doesn’t work with 2 questionable bits of functionality (Google pay + Auto). Why would I want either in a privacy phone?
Pixels are not sold here :(
Ooof, where are you if you don’t mind me asking? You cannot import or get second hand?
I’d rather not say for the sake of privacy. Unfortunately I had a bad experience with Google the last time I imported it.
Wish GrapheneOS were available for more mainstream and cheap devices worldwide.
Not sure if it’d be the same case but there are some sites providing a pre-Graphened pixel which may have different shipping. Not sure how much I trust someone to have that kind of access to my device after the manufacturer and before me though.
