This is the way, there should be no access by default, then on first access the user has to setup their desired authentication details, and if they want passwords, then they get a randomly generated one, not one they choose. There should al

Hopefully this lawsuit will be won by SFC, if it is, then anyone can sue their TV maker for the Linux kernel sources for their device and access to install modified versions of it, then replace their TV OS with AOSP/etc, or KDE Plasma

Volla OS looks like an Android fork, so more like GrapheneOS than postmarketOS/etc.

I would never want to run a vendor OS on any device, they are either too proprietary or too untrustworthy or both.

Hmm, I thought there was some form of attestation involved? Is it really as simple as spoofing the device ID? Do you have any more info/links on the spoofing?

Attestation stuff means you probably can't run them even on non-Google versions of Android, so probably get a cheapo second phone for the banking apps. https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-gu..

Maybe start with GrapheneOS on a Google Pixel phone, its a privacy/security focused Android fork. Otherwise for full Linux, take a look at shipping-with-Android devices that are semi-supported by postmarketOS, Mobian etc. Or go with ve
