Depends on the use case. I played around with it a lot and came to the conclusion that I don’t like flatpaks and the base system is not flexible enough for me.

I use it as a self-updating desktop for my parents tho,. For that it’s absolutely perfect.

@poweruser Sadly it doesn’t have an AMOLED screen (cheap samsung tablet) but as a last resort it might be worth a shot. Thanks

@kionite231 Was the first thing I tried. Termux even has a “wake lock” function but that also doesn’t seem to prevent it.

@SomeBoyo Yeah that’s the normal devices guarantee you also get with normal android on pixel devices. So in terms of longevity GrapheneOS doesn’t offer any advantages. There are other advantages of course.

@SaltyIceteaMaker I installed miniflux, a rss reader, on it. Sadly android constantly kills the internet connecting when the screen turns off, so I can’t use it as a server to access it from my other devices. I have tried everything I could find to prevent that from happening.

@SomeBoyo What “long term support”? Official GrapheneOS releases for a device end when the official Android support ends because they don’t support hardware where the firmware is not updated anymore. Or did that change recently?

@TheYang Exactly! Came here to say this. Everybody actively using chromium based browsers is a part of the problem.

It’s not wired at all. I am active on both and the culture on both sites is completely different, so I totally understand when people decide that one culture fits them better.

I recently switched to xfce.
I used KDE exclusively since 2004. That’s a very long time but KDE Plasma in combination with nvidia got worse, what felt like, every single day over the last years, so it finally came to the point where I had no choice to look for something that works better.
Super happy with xfce after I set it up almost exactly like my KDE setup. Sure there are some thing that are not as “well rounded” than some of the excellent Plasma features but over all it works great!
