The alternatives to Intel/AMD/Nvidia, Visa/Mastercard/American Express/Discover and IOS/Android need to be more developed.

    How have you been getting on with graphene and how did the flashing process go for you?

    Edit: started looking in to it/supported devices- there aren’t any Pixels with SD card slots? AAaaaarggghhhh- I really, REALLY like having a massive amount of music local on my device ><

      not OP either, but I’ve been using graphene for a bit over a week now. bought a second hand pixel 7 pro for about 300. literally followed a YouTube video for installation (there’s a ton, and the install process hasn’t changed at all over the years).

      now I use magic earth, get all my apps from the neostore or aurora (which is an anonymous app that allows you to interact with the back end of the google play app repository - allowing you to bypass their front end; therefore avoiding fingerprinting).

      its an absolute pleasure to know that apps are sandboxes and I sleep like a rock at night knowing that big tech ain’t got shit on me.

      … except for the google pixel hardware…

      get it!

      Not OP but flashing is super easy. You have a detailed description and everything happens from the browser. No terminal needed.
