People keep mentioning GraphineOS as a reason to buy a Pixel, but in other regards the Pixel hardware doesn’t seem so great. If you get a different phone that can run Lineage, is Graphene really better? Thanks.

    I have been dancing around taking the plunge into GrapheneOS – I have a pixel. Glad to hear you say this, bc it gives me confidence that I could move to it and not lose absolutely all the apps I have become accustomed to. There exists a list of apps that are compatible once de-googled (un play-protected), right? Also, I saw you mentioned that graphene can sandbox google play?

      Yeah, read up on the Graphene webpage. I don’t use any of it, but there are options. You’re most likely to have issues with banking apps, from what I have seen. Anything that can’t be done in a browser is a stalkerware scam IMO. I consider them irrelevant if they lack this fundamental functionality.
