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
On my 7a, I found that making sure your thumb is clean and then pressing kinda firmly does the trick. I still prefer the back fingerprint sensor from my previous phone, a Pixel 2, as that was fast, locatable, and could be used to bring down the notifications, but honestly the success rate now is about equal
