I love my iPhone but care more about more about FOSS. All my computers and servers run Linux and I want my phone to as well. GrapheneOS sounds nice but I’m worried about switching from an iPhone. Before getting my first iPhone 7, androids would never last more than a year before they become slow and buggy (LG and Samsung flagships). I also worry about how trustworthy GrapheneOS is, I see them getting in random fights with users on Mastodon—that doesn’t exhibit a stable group to me.
TLDR really love FOSS, considering switching from iPhone but am unsure.
E1 found this on wiki lol
In a detailed review of GrapheneOS for Golem.de, Moritz Tremmel and Sebastian Grüner said they were able to use GrapheneOS similarly to other Android systems, while enjoying more freedom from Google, without noticing differences from “additional memory protection, but that’s the way it should be.” They concluded GrapheneOS cannot change how “Android devices become garbage after three years at the latest”, but “it can better secure the devices during their remaining life while protecting privacy.”
Android is still slow and buggy. The 8GB of RAM in new Google devices outscales it a tiny bit. Restart daily if you use GrapheneOS (yes, it’s this bad).
I’ve never experienced this and I’ve only had budget android devices since 2018. My partner has had whatever the most expensive iPhone was every 3 years or so. Haven’t noticed a difference in performance for our uses, which aren’t particularly resource intensive, just web browsing, social media, and communication mostly. Light games like stardew valley occasionally. I think you must have gotten unlucky with a bad device.
No it’s just android. The device is fine.
It doesn’t help that Android just keeps zombie processes from Termux open
Is not right, go to settings and adjust it.
Have several google pixel phone immediately upon purchase modified with custom rom operating system graphene os , Ram memory is 8 or 12 Gb ram, + 100 apps, even banc apps
Oh how I fucking wish there was a “make my phone run smoothly” toggle. What setting do you speak of?
