The request was respectful and SUSEs support on OpenSUSE is very helping the project so I’d personally be fine with fulfilling that request

I’m currently on Wayland with Nvidia hardware and it’s running fine tbh

Android Auto is supported. Payments are the only thing holding me back currently. But that’s not something the developers of GrapheneOS can change unfortunately.

Debian is awesome but only if you don’t care about having the newest features and updates.

Some people say it’s “evil” since some drama with RedHat or something? I actually never looked into that drama and it’s probably overreaction of someone but has anyone heard of it or an idea what it’s about?

Yes I know about AppFlowy and also about Anytype. However AppFlowy feels off for some reason and not as stable. Anytype feels pretty good but it has the issue that you can’t store and sync more than I think 1 GB of data. You could self host a sync server but that’s extra complicated with that software for some reason. So it’s not really a good alternative either. :/

An actually good alternative to Notion for Linux.

Which ones? Haven’t experienced any app that doesn’t work with GrapheneOS. Even my banking apps work. Only thing that doesn’t work is Google Pay.

Take something like GrapheneOS if security is important for you:

1. No bloatware
2. 7 years of updates on the new pixel phones with it
3. Much more secure than an iPhone
4. An iPhone isn’t really privacy respecting or similar even though Apple always claims it to be
5. An iPhone locks you in. Heck you can’t even let Nextcloud or Immich sync files in the background on iOS just because Apple says “no background sync only works good with our own services so you give us your money and use iCloud Photos and Drive”.

I fully agree. GrapheneOS also just received an update which allows to use Android Auto. The only thing I know of that’s not working under GrapheneOS is therefore Google Pay which is okay for me. This software combined with the Hardware is awesome.

Honestly everything besides Debian and Arch after distro hopping for years.

I answered on another comment regarding ads in this thread to clarify what I define as an ad with that comment.

The files app has built in ads to push OneDrive to the users. And yes it can be declared as advertising because you can’t remove that ad and because MS pays Samsung for it (or gives Samsung benefits for it inside Windows on Samsungs computers).

Besides that there are the same kind of ads in the settings app.

And there’s also many components of the OS that push the user into paying money like for fonts or for Always on Displays or lockscreens or whatever else. Those are not direct ads but you could declare them as auch because of the fact that a user gets pushed into micro payments for basic customization of their phone which for me personally is a no go, especially if you pay money for a flagship phone.

Any idea how long it will take (estimated) until you can install GrapheneOS on the upcoming devices after they’re released?

And adds literally built into basic system components…

I disagree while agreeing. The biggest reason people use windows is simply because its pre-installed. That’s the same reason people use Edge on Windows or Bing as their search engine. They get it preinstalled and don’t know how to change it.

If you install anyone Linux and give them a simple and easy distro preinstalled they’re usually fine with a few words about how to use it, update it and install stuff. Especially if they’re not tech savvy because in this case they wouldn’t know exactly how to use Windows either. I mean look at companies: how many employees use Windows in their daily work but still don’t know how to actually usw windows? They get teached to use their software and tools but not the OS itself and have to figure things out on the OS level if they would want to change something on Windows too.

My observation was that people that are not tech savvy find it easier to understand some beginner friendly Linux distros than Windows.

If on the other hand a person is used to use Windows and knows how to actually use Windows it’s harder for them to switch because things are just different on Linux. For me it’s hard and annoying to use Windows which I have to do at work since February. Before that I used Linux in private my whole life, I used it in school because my school never used Windows as one of the few schools in my country and my last employer also used Linux. And from that perspective I can say that Windows is hard and not intuitive. It’s just being used because it’s being used. I guess you could compare it to Whatsapp vs Signal. From an objective standpoint Signal is better but most people still use WhatsApp because others use it and because it comes preinstalled on some Android phones.

I don’t even think the CLI stuff and so on is an issue. The main reason people don’t use Linux is because it’s simply not pre-installed everywhere as Windows is. The same reason many people use Edge on Windows and don’t install Firefox etc. The average user just uses it as it is and doesn’t tinker around.

Installed Linux on my grandmother’s computer some years ago and she was working with it fine because it was the first time of her using a computer and she learned it that way. For she Linux was was for other people Windows is. She didn’t had any issues installing software via apt etc. after getting it explained and teached a few times.

But a user who just uses a system as it is and who is used to Windows will always dislike Linux. I dislike Windows because I find it complicated in many parts. I used Linux and sometimes MacOS for my whole life besides Windows Vista as a child.

I think that topic got really heated back then. DDG is far more transparent than any other companies and also did a statement regarding this. Besides that it’s still the most private search engine next to Searxng. And SearXNG is less convenient.

That’s also the reason why it is still used within the Tor browser for example.

DuckDuckGo

I think it’s more flexible. Also, due to the databases just being normal files you can sync them with syncthing between your devices.

In my case I run a NAS at home on which they’re stored so I don’t need to sync them. I just open them directly from the NAS.
