I used nylon carbon fiber.

Works on Linux (gnome)

It is just funny to think he was.

Word of warning, 3d printed cases are a bad idea. The plastics don’t actually absorb the impact like a real case would, and so they break often and don’t actually absorb the impact and protect your phone. Every time I’ve used one I’ve ended up with damage.

Unfortunately I can see your case, this means you don’t have enough fans. Fix it.

This guy really reminds me of how JFK supposedly was viewed at the time

What’s better/different about calyx from grapheneOS or even stock android?

What makes that better than an actual custom rom like grapheneOS?

Sorry if this is really basic, but what is rooting? What are the positives and negatives of it?

Everyone else has mentioned the aurora store as an afterthought, almost as if it wasn’t really a recommendation and more so a mention. Why might they not recommend it?

Additionally do I need a google account to use grapheneOS?

This is good advice, i will wait a few days. That being said, if i can get all my apps working and i do decide to go for it, how would lineageOS compare to something like GrapheneOS for example? what other kinds of things might i lose if i choose to use a custom ROM?

what the fuck is rule 25

No, they use iMessage which is a large issue. I effectively need to keep iMessage working.

The issue is more social, friends and family have refused to leave iMessage just for me.

Divest seems interesting, if I can get around the iMessage hurdle that may very well be what I land on!

That’s very encouraging to hear, however unlike you I don’t use the bare minimum features. I use a lot of cloud features, and use iMessage group chats frequently. I have been able to find replacements for the vast majority of those thanks to the great people here, however as you said since I use iMessage group chats frequently, I will get pointed at. I have already tried to switch friends to telegram and they have declined, so that may be a blocker.

When you say make sure your network is fast enough, how fast do you mean? I have 200mb, is that fast enough? (It’s the fastest option for my house)

I think grapheneOS will probably be fine. There are however a few google apps I absolutely need for work, namely google docs and sheets. From what I could read on their website the google services aren’t included at all, even microg and require extra setup. Can this be made to let me run all my apps that need them?

Airmessage seems intriguing, I think it may just work!

Loooking at the wiki for those doesn’t list modern devices, or even older ones like the pixel 4 through 7. The phone I was looking at buying was a pixel 7 pro as people here seemed to recommend the pixels. Will droidian or others run on this?

As for operating system, manjaro is obv a no go. I also will avoid UBports as I don’t really like snaps or Ubuntu. This leaves droidian and I was looking at postmarketOS, but that doesn’t seem ready. Ideally as I’ve said phosh or gnome shell mobile distros would be best but I can’t find any that support modern devices that run these and I don’t really want to spin my own. Are there any you can think of or perhaps some privacy respecting androids that still let me use google apps I may need or stuff of the like?
