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

    Sounds great, especially since it’s Android-compatible. I’d have to jailbreak my phone, though, right? Always been worried to do that, myself, because I don’t want to break my phone or get cut off by my service provider.

    I might look into it on my Retroid Pocket 2+, though!

      Not sure what you mean by “jailbreak” as that’s rarely a term applied to Androids. On the phone side, you have to have a Pixel (6 and up are recommended due to increase security and longer support) and enable OEM unlocking, which requires no hacking/jailbreaking/rooting. It’s super easy to install.
