Switching back to Android (GrapheneOS), anything cool I've been missing out on? in c/android@lemmy.world

Aurora Store isnt needed because of Graphene's Sandboxed Google Play Services.

Obtainium app is best for installing APKs from github, fdroid, etc because of the auto updates.

My favorite feature of GOS is the scopes for contacts, storage, and MTE support on Pixel 8

it needs organic stability and you're also comparing the stability with fiat.

What's the best strategy for changing to GrapheneOS? in c/privacyguides@lemmy.one
[–] Genghis@monero.town 4 points 10 months ago

Everything should work perfectly fine.

Just make sure you know which apps are not supported on GOS such as Netflix, Hulu, Cash App, etc because of the Play Integrity API. Don't be afraid to use the Play Store as well. Its treated like any other app on the system so it isn't highly privileged.

Also, one thing that was a problem for me at first was the restore solution (and backup solution). You will have to transfer your files from an external drive whether its the cloud or a local one.

Feel free to join the GrapheneOS Discord/Matrix/Telegram server and ask more questions because they're very knowledgeable people that can support you.

Security advise collection - what do you recommend? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Genghis@monero.town 1 points 1 year ago

A lot of the security work on Linux is being done by Google. It's highly unlikely they are putting backdoors in their products.

The desktop security model is insecure in general. Phone OSes are much more secure.

Reasonable desktop OS to use is Qubes, Fedora, MacOS, ChromeOS, or Windows pro/enterprise (hardened)

Phones are much more secure especially the Pixel 8/pro with MTE immensely reducing remote exploitation. GrapheneOS is the only distro that enables MTE by default and recently implemented it in their Vanadium browser.

Secure phones (secure elements are important): IPhones and Pixels (GrapheneOS or stock)

Also yes, Chromium is much more secure on Linux than Gecko based browsers because of its great internal sandboxing and site isolation. Firefox on Windows is catching up though, but still bad on desktop Linux and android.

This all doesn't matter if you're running an EoL device. Make sure your receiving official security and firmware updates.

that's about it
