I’d love to. I bought an early pinephone and after about a day of trying to make it do basic functions I gave up. I’d LOVE to have a real Linux option but in my experiences so far we’re not there yet. I don’t see a better option than Graphene at the moment- it’s that solid.
Never knew a google account, so it was known to Google but not to me. … but while on the topic, know of a better option?
GrapheneOS babyyyyy
Interesting perspective. May I ask your age? I’m going to be 48 this month and while I have similar relationship experience, to the point that I don’t have any experience at all for the last 20 years- I feel like the last thing the world needs is someone as broken as me raising a child. I can’t be trusted to do the dishes these days.
I’m a linux user myself, but can’t see ARM doing anything particularly well in a laptop in the near future, at least outside of the Apple cult. Even S76’s high power ARM desktop looks (to me) extremely limiting versus a comparable AMD machine.
Yeah market fluctuation regularly explains prices more than quintupling while supply vaporizes overnight. The fuck are you smoking?
Frankly shocked to see you say that. You either have a very specific job or are a particularly interesting weirdo. What would be your use case?

If a “lite” version removed their ability to spy on you they’d have to charge you $4,000/year for the privilege, just to make up the difference.
VLC has been great on graphene for a year or so but recently started having issues playing over bluetooth in my car. Tried a few open source options from FDroid but wound up going back to Omnia (Sandboxed play store) for now. No more playback issue for a few days now.
Seemed to happen when I got Graphene’s Android 17 update, but I can’t say for sure it was that. The issue I have with it currently is that playback audio cuts out in the car, but the screen still indicates it’s “playing” - track time still ticking. I’d have to tap to pause and tap to resume to bring it back, and it would only last a few minutes before doing it again.
I think it’s likely less VLC’s fault and more likely an Android 17 thing.
The open source apps I tried worked a peach, but didn’t let me use the car’s (Honda) menu to browse music or select albums. Most of the ones I tried didn’t even appear as options while trying to use the car to change what music I was listening to.
Edit: Realized Omnia’s not working in that way now either. Guess I’m changing albums by touching the phone for now.
Downside: She learned nothing.
Upside: She failed to reproduce.
Oh I like you.
Oh, got it
I don’t get it

By then Motorola will have shipped the first round of “with Graphene pre installed” devices, assuming they stay with their plan.
Promising…
