Dude I loved your book, thank you so much

Oh dang. That’s true.

I don’t like their default launcher either, it’s indeed very iphon-y. I just installed another launcher and that’s it. It’s essentially Android so that’s no problem. I also disabled microg entirely, which is possible.

Murena does ship them to the USA, but with /e/OS preinstalled, which is great if you’re into privacy and degoogling. I don’t know how it works with US carriers though. Feel free to ask them on their forum, community.e.foundation

I use this, it’s pretty good

I don’t have that phone anymore but I used WebApps for banking and chatting and they worked well. Now their app store is much much bigger though.

I bought a Linux phone back in 2015 (BQ Aquaris 5 running Ubuntu Touch) and even back then with the flagrant lack of apps the phone was usable

So surprised! /s

Spinach is a finicky bastard in my experience, take good care of it

Same here, whether I’m using VPN or not.

Wow so much info, thanks a lot!!

I too have read that GrapheneOS is heavy on the battery.
