I didn’t know I could use my. WireGuard profile behind rethink. Good to know! While connected to my WoreGuard I have network wide adblocking, but I was extra and had many layers of blocking enabled.
I like tinkering, but when things like restrictions from the manufacturer cime into play, it can be enough of a pain I avoid it.
No. I avoid Chromium entirely. When there is a worthy contender to Firefox, I will check it out and weigh the options as well as do my research.
Chrome/Chromium has a monopoly on web browsing. And I will not support it.
Not against the idea of someone doing what they want with their hardware. That’s what got me into custom ROMs, and Linux, and Open Source projects to begin with.
I personally will not be rooting my GrapheneOS, even though once upon a time I would have jumped at the idea because of wanting a few things.
I feel it does compromise some of the security mechanisms and philosphies of GrapheneOS.
Like I said though, it’s our device, use it how we want.
I took a similar journey. I had the Pixel Pro 7, and when that broke I went to the 8 Pro.
I was on LineageOS with Root, and utilized quite a bit of root enabled apps and plugins.
I am sure there were more, in fact I know I used more but they constantly were changing because of keeping up with the cat and mouse game of passing Google’s Verification. All because I wanted control.
That was one of the biggest reasons behind root for me, to have full control over everything.
I took a step back, and decided to go down the rabbithole of using GrapheneOS, and eith a few exceptions, offered everything I was trying to accomplish with LineageOS and Root. All without the side-effects.
Do I miss having root? Yes. Would i switch back? That’s complicated. Yes and No, but really dependent on how Google decidesproceed in their endeavors of trying to lock everything down.
I don’t want another “Apple.” I am on Android because I am more of a poweruser than anyone I know in real life. I use more than just texting/messaging apps, and multimedia. I manage servers, and care about privacy, and I want to understand the inner workings of the devices I use. Bet ya can’t what family of OSs I use on my PCs? Just kidding. You already know.

I like pacman.
I feel it in my void where a sould belongs
I am glad to have jumped on when I did. A few years have passed, and almost everything I hadba gripe over is fixed.
Uh, I just use Base arch. Used it since I was new to Linux. I am not changing.
I got into custom ROMs late into the game. I always had locked devices because it was easier for me paying monthly for a phone.
However, when I switched to using my Pixel 7 Pro I tried LineageOS, and a few other forks and such. I tried GrapheneOS back when I was on my 7 Pro. I didn’t stick with GrapheneOS because I was struggling with some app compatability. Ultimately switched back to LineageOS with Root. It allowed me to use my system wife adblocking, and other custom stuff such as custom kernels, and modules.
I broke my 7 Pro, and got an 8 Pro. For a brief period of time I used LineageOS with root and custom modules and kernels. I got tired of having to fix play integrity and safety net. So I switched to GrapheneOS.
Noe that I am on GrapheneOS again full time, it has gotten a lot better, and more importantly I have changed my habits. So GrapheneOS offers me exactly what i want and need.
Hi dad, did you come back with the milk yet?
I’ve wanted to give NixOS a shot, but I have very little reason to switch away from Arch. I have my install tailored to be exactly what I want. No fuss in maintaining it either.
Perfect! Thank you!
This isn’t reddit. You wanna be toxic go there or elsewhere. Your shitty attitude is stanking up the place. Get bent lol
You misunderstand, it’s not about not liking it. It’s how you’re conducting yourself. If you don’t like something you can move on. You didn’t have anything constructive to add to the conversation. Come in talking about your emulator when someone suggests an emulator after your mini outburst. Instead of being insufferable you could have offered constructive criticism. It’s not that hard to do, unless you lack the brain cells and common decency. Or you could have just moved along.
Why are you being such a toxic twat? Who pissed in your Cheerios? You okay m8?
I’ve been playing with it. And I can’t say I love it like I love Nova.
It sure seems customizable, but the UI and wording about options could be better.
I can’t seem to make my taskbar/dock have more than 4 icons.
I’ll give this launcher a shot. It’s UI and setup is clunky comparatively to Nova. But I will play around with it more yet!
Why? I mean I’ve read talking points for having systemd and for not. What’s your take?
I went and jumped off the deep end and went straight to Arch with my main rig. However without reading and tinkering you won’t exactly have a fun time. But if you’re comfortable enough with command line, then you can get it working how you want. It does work quite well now that I have it setup. Even with Zen kernel and NVIDIA open dkms.
