As I said good for you, if you found your solution.

So where did I recommend it to others. I just said why I chose it.

I am fine with waiting for the security patches and the comparison to Win10 does not work, as this version does not get any security patches at all anymore.

I will keep sitting in my cardboard fortress and will wait until someone finds me.

To me it shows me that I replied to the right comment. I just tagged you, as I agreed with what you said in your comment below.

I think you might not understand the meanings of privacy and security.

These are two different things, you can have privacy without security and the other way around. Having both is the best case.

As @ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net said, some people care more about all those app trackers rather than have a full secure phone.

If there would be the one solution 100% privacy and security and available for most phones I would instantly use it. But it is not available yet.

If you are happy with Graphene OS good for you, but keep in mind it might not be what everyone is looking for.

Sorry but this sounds again like the typical e/Os bashing from GrapheneOS users.

Those two system are not the same. One is focused on security and the other on privacy.

Yes I know about the issues of e/OS, but it is still better than using Google or Apple.

For me personally I moved cause I don’t want to support american companies. So Graphene was no option, as I would need to give google some money or buy one 2nd hand. But Pixels are still quite expensive compared with others.

Why do you always need to attack other systems, they can coexist. We should be happy people have more options to break free from Big Tech companies.

Amazing.

Injust switched a year ago and now I finally discovered bash scripts.

It is so mich easier, I also automated some manual tasks with Python scripts to name my PDFs, never would have done that with windows.

And the best part of it, it’s actually fun and I want to even do more.

As always I have to thank DJT, for make me switch. 🤣

Best comment.

I am very thankful to Microsoft, without them I wouldn’t have made the switch to Linux.

I really loving it. So much better, faster and powerful + no Spying.

Thanks for sharing, really insightful.

In my personal opinion after being also responsible in AI for our company, I do not see how it will be profitable for them.

For example Microsoft Copilot license, costs 30$/month, but a lot of things I can do with it a free Chatbot can do too.

It definitely has it strengths and use cases and I am sure it will not go away. But it is not the way the market it as a full AI, it just generates answers with the highest probability. I cannot see it developing from there to the real AI.

I think this year will be really interesting to watch all the AI companies, especially Oracle as they have to refinance a lot. If one falls it will send them into to a spiral, the big companies will be fine, but I am sure they will cut their funding of OpenAI.

But who knows could be the other way around and OpenAI finds anything new to make them more profitable.

I am thankful for reddit becoming a mess and Trump made me ditch american companies anyway.

Otherwise I never would have discovered Lemmy.

Unfortunately not, I only used AudD so far.

I tested it with all my stuff I had in my Shazam library and it recognised everything, so I kept the default settings.

Shazam --> Audile

Microsoft Authenticator --> Aegis

Password Manager --> KeepassDX( I use Syncthing to keep it up to date across my devices

Weather App --> Cirrus

Task Manager --> Task.org

To use Google Maps links --> GeoShare

In general there are a lot of good Apps on F-Droid. To keep it that way, please read this: KeepAndroidOpen

Otherwise all those beautiful Apps from F-Droid will disappear.

Ah thank you very much for enlighten me about Graphene OS, that so far the best description I have seen.

Used Aurora before on Android too.

I probably will wait until they find a way to not be dependent on Google services, as I want them to have no data at all, if I have the chance to do it.

Hopefully there will be more alternatives in the future. But we will see where it will go with Google trying to stop side loading.

Does it mean that you basically cannot use apps then, which require Google Services? Or how does it exactly work there?

Currently trying e/Os and wanted to look into Graphene and Lineage to see the which one works the best. I just don’t want to use anything from google.
