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

    Agreed with many others here. GrapheneOS it’s fantastic.

    A few points that haven’t been highlighted:

    • The GrapheneOS camera is fast and responsive. I haven’t had a responsive camera in several generations of Android until I installed GrapheneOS.
    • Everything is faster and more responsive on GrapheneOS. A $300.00 phone from last year running GrapheneOS responds to input like a $1000.00 phone, while keeping the longer battery life of a $300.00 phone.
    • Defense-in-depth privacy and security controls. A lot of good privacy and security defaults add up to a lot more peace of mind. Thiis phone feels like my property, not just a portal to deliver ads and collect data about me.
