I recently bought a new phone, so my old phone, a Pixel 4 xl is now sitting around collecting dust. I thought it could be fun to install an actual non-Google Linux OS on it. Any suggestions?

  • Delusional is a bit mean, and yeah there’s old stuff but there’s tons of old software on the play store but that doesn’t discount it. What I mean is that although there’s software not updated I’ve encountered and use plenty of F-Droid apps that are updated as often as is needed. I just wouldn’t discount it is what I’m saying

      Same here. Yes battery life suffers when running multiple profiles but that is a meaningless argument since any other device would be affected the same. Just don’t keep the second profile running if you’re not using it.

      I have seen no other battery life issues with graphene. It is solid.

      There is old stuff there which is one of the reasons grapheneos does not directly deliver their apps trough the store, there are many other reasons, you quickly find the reddit thread to that.

      I do not need to defend nor shit-talk f-droid, someone else did that for me already, just check my community I linked the f-droid article myself + wrote my own article about f-droid insecurity.
