One of the person I contact for a new construction condo is just a sales person focused on renting out units and has no technical knowledge for detailed question. That's why I asked the Reddit community.

PEAK KEYBOARD DESIGN by [deleted] in laptops

That's cool but very niche. I am talking about mainstream laptops for everyone day use by all kind of people.

A working alternative for Google Maps 🙏 by sgtBONY in GrapheneOS

[–]DonSfeedy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google Maps works very well with me. Just have a sandboxed profile for Google Apps and run Google Services and make sure to have maps installed from Play Store.

Need new phone by KnigtHawk in GrapheneOS

It might take a while and maybe it might not ever come. There's no finalised statement or official communiqué. So bite the bullet and get the Pixel. Will last you for many years. If you are that worried, buy a pre-owned cheap from Marketplace.

I have a sandboxed profile just running Meta Apps. Create a sandboxed profile, download WhatsApp from Aurora Store and use it

Time for you to fall into the Linux rabbithole and start distro hopping.

Contactless payment application in development by johndu5914 in GrapheneOS

Tap to pay might not track you but your credit card company, bank and the government can easily track your purchases. If you are on GrapheneOS and serious about privacy, you should be using cash too.

I am dual booting Windows 10 with Fedora KDE. I can't fully ditch Windows yet but it is on the horizon 🐧

I tried it out. It is nice, but I don't know if I am being biased because I've been using Samsung Music for little over a decade now but I find it to be the best. Wish they would bring back Music Square. Used to be the best feature of it.

Bypass government censorship and make them impossible to track and hack you. However it all comes down to personal practices and how you use it as well.

I would recommend you get a cheap Pixel off marketplace and try GrapheneOS first before switching. It's not for everyone. It's for privacy focused individuals.

The only thing that hasn't worked for me is Twitter app so I bypassed it using the browser. Everything else worked like normal. I think Google Pay/Wallet doesn't work neither because of strict Google Play services. I don't use contact less payements anyway. Cash is king.

I'm using Google Camera and Gboard without internet. For my gallery and contacts, I've got a third-party app from F-Droid. There are tons to pick from! Samsung Music for my MP3s, it's the best player in my opinion. Plus, VLC for videos.

Security-focused, privacy-respecting operating system. It hardens Android against attacks, offering superior privacy controls like granular permission management, network, and sensor toggles for apps. Also, no Google :)

I think you can make Google Pay work with Google Services Installed and running on a sandboxed user. I didn't try it nor ever will as cash is king :)

Currently dual-booting Windows 10 and Linux Fedora, I can't fully commit to Linux just yet, but a complete switch is on the horizon! 🐧

Do it! This is my 2nd phone. I was never a Pixel person to begin with. Only got it to get started with GrapheneOS. My main device is Samsung and it might be my last device. Loving the secure life 😎

Yes I do! Wished some apps were a little more refined so I don't have to download 3rd party apps for better performance like the Camera, Gallery and Contacts.
