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
I said “average PC,” and you throw out Linux with a hardened browser. That’s not average. But how many people have Linux with a hardened browser? More importantly, how easy is that to set up compared to setting up GOS (I promise GOS is much, much easier to set up and use)?
But if we’re going with extremes like this: no one should use banks on Linux with hardened browsers. Just go in person.
installing a just-works distro (say linux mint) is just/almost as easy as grapheneos. assuming not doing dual booting (the phone is dual booting is it).
librewolf (hardened fork of firefox) is like 2 commands on linux, or an installer wizard on windows.
unironically the last statement is based. less technology is always more secure. we managed without it back in the day didnt we.
im not going to say privacy and digital security is easy or one-size-fits-all or anything, we each have to make comprimises on convenience.
