I've been on GrapheneOS for almost 4 years now, absolutely no regrets, even on my mental health.

I've been on GrapheneOS for 4 years or so. I've tried CalyxOS every now and then, but always end up coming back to GrapheneOS. I find it simple, private, secure and free of BS. CalyxOS does come with some stuff preinstalled, which doesn't really appeal to me, and I trust the sandboxes Google Play model much more that MicroG.

About the devs, I really haven't had any issues that I have not been able to resolve myself, so my interaction with the is non-existing. I have read some posts with interactions with them, and they do seem to be hostile towards anything that is not 100% aligned with their train of thought, which I find stupid, to say the least. But regardless of how rude they may be, I feel GOS literally has no competition in the Android landscape in terms of privacy and security.

I wish I could be more help, but its always worked for me since I started using GrapheneOS about 4 years ago.

The one thing I can think of is a misconfiguration on SUPL and PSDS.

If you still have access to a GrapheneOS device maybe you could take a look there.

ElGato is famous for just not working on Linux.

I converted our whole congregation to Linux, and we use a BlackMagic ATEM for streaming over OBS:

At first we started with a cheap single input capture card and it worked great:

How is that any different than what all those shady companies do?

I took advantage of the lifetime protonpass offer for black Friday, since I already had 5 simplelogin emails for that purpose. Very happy now with the unlimited aliases.

What about it?

That's weird. Everything that needs GPS location works great for me. I agree that it does take a bit longer to lock, but it's only about 1 or 2 seconds longer.

My OsmAnd~ works amazing.

For apps that won't notify without GS I just use ntfy. Works great. But I still keep most notifications off, does wonders for my mental health.

Absolutely agreed. Been there since the Pixel 6, no regrets.

Or like Fedora (and I'm sure more distros) nicely asks you if you want to update in a user initiated restart or shutdown, and if you say yes it does just that and updates to restart or shut down. My memories with Windows are having to remain in front of the computer to make sure I can turn it off after it reboots multiple times to update.

You're so nice. Here they have deserved a C- for at least the last 5 years, and declined to a D during the last 2.

You must be the one person I've ever seen saying that. I remember up to windows 7 and some time with 10 that updates would just wait for you (assuming you configured it to wait) and I would update when ready to shit down. But I've seen 10/11 just kick people out over an update way too many times to know it's. I configured my wife's computer to not update at all unless I actively told it to, and it she woke up to windows 11 one day (which I appreciate because that was the trigger for her to love to Fedora, lol).

IKEA has a nice offer on new Fedora and Debian spins 🤣🤣

Wtf is wrong with you?

I use Tubular, and this fork crashes hard when I import my DB (regardless of if I import the settings as well or not). Guess I'll stay on Tubular since it just works (for now).

Yeah, KDE's customization is overwhelming in my opinion. I like my OS like I like my boss: "support me, get out of my way, and let me do my work". Gnome does exactly that.

I buy it on a need-to-get basis. Basically I use whatever exchange payment service the provider supplies me with, use a one-time use card to pay for the exchange, and done. I don't have a wallet.

I've never paid attention to that, and at those prices, while keeping more stuff from mining data, it's a steal.
