These guys can go fuck themselves

You need to differentiate between root and custom ROMs. Root is counterproductive in regards to security, because it significantly increases attack surface, but Custom ROMs like GrapheneOS can make your device much more private and secure. It also doesn't ship any proprietary apps by default and Google Play services are sandboxed and isolated, just like any other app. It's pretty amazing.

For YouTube, use FreeTube, Tubular or LibreTube if you like native clients or Piped and Invidious if you prefer a website.

It's best not to use Reddit at all, but if you need it for some reason, check out Libreddit or this site

Unfortunately not much can be done to avoid Discord's terrible UI other than not using it. The Matrix protocol and Element client are pretty nice alternatives.

I guess head and tail are your grandparents?

What about grep and ack?

They're usable, but it looks kinda weird. But 49" in portrait is really impractical, I wouldn't go with anything bigger than 27" for portrait mode, and it shouldn't be ultrawide.

God damn, perhaps you need one of these ultrawide large format displays that are used for advertising lol

Did you read my previous comment? I spscifically said:

No, because Fedora DOES include proprietary blobs (for a good reason)

Relatable

I agree, and it's very unfortunate that YouTube keeps shadow banning his channel. That's why I donate a few bucks a month on his Patreon.

You can also use Guake on GNOME or basically on any desktop. I've also use it on Cinnamon and it's really nice.

You can try GNOME's Authenticator, it's pretty simple but it gets the job done

Yeah he makes awesome videos exposing billionaires, corporations and governments

The GrapheneOS team is security focused to the point where it is detrimental to the regular user experience. I.e. "Secure App Spawning" increases app startup time considerably on older devices like the Pixel 4a.

That's why Graphene allows you to disable the security features. Turning off secure app spawning won't make your device incredibly vulnerable, it will just be set back to normal AOSP security level.

Also, the GrapheneOS team has very high standards for security features supported by a phone. Basically no phone besides Pixel supports those features, which obviously isn't a big problem for most people (else we'd have a big problem).

You know which phone has basically all of those security features? The iPhone. GrapheneOS is not building something insane, they're just hardening Android to a point where it's actually comparable to iPhone security. Sure, usability might not be perfect because Google only releases base Android as open source software and keeps all their fancy apps proprietary, but it's not in a state where it's totally unusable either.

Obviously they comply with the GPL, otherwise they would get sued. But Red Hat acts exactly like a proprietary software company. That's what the quote is trying to say.

It's really not hard, it takes 10 minutes and the entire installation process can be completed from nothing more than your web browser. https://youtube.com/watch?v=L1KZWjZVnAw
