How so? Graphene is perfectly useable for a non-technical user. And once you install Play Store, it's almost indistinguishable UX-wise from any other Android phone.
- udev4096 11mo agoHe's a fucking ignorant normie. He has never even tried to install GOS because if he did, he would know how almost identical the experience is with Android and there are no privileged google processes running on your phone which not only hog the resources but sends every single bit of information about your whole life
- saagarjha 11mo agoI have tried installing it, for your information
- kube-system 11mo ago“Install an OS on your phone” is nonsensical to 99.99% of users. You’re in a tech bubble.
- Sanzig 11mo agoI'm not talking about installation. I'm talking about using the OS once it's installed.
- kube-system 11mo agoIt’s a distinction without a difference when Graphene is installed by zero OEMs.
- Sanzig 11mo agoI mean, I'm not sure what you expect the GrapheneOS project to do about that. I'm sure they'd love to provide hardware if they could, but they are a small nonprofit. They are currently working with an undisclosed OEM to to provide official support on an upcoming phone, which may lead to factory-installed options in the future if all goes well.
- saagarjha 11mo agoIf you look around this thread you will find plenty of people explaining what doesn’t work for them. Of course the GrapheneOS people will explain that this is actually the fault of the banks or the apps or whatever and I would probably agree, but that still makes it hard to recommend to casual users.
