There are many other considerations besides startup speed, no? Filesystem reliability is a big one, and all the scrubbing and defragging features of btrfs are pretty neat

That’s the beauty about it- it doesn’t matter. Your body gets stronger and adapts. That said, make the transition smooth to avoid injury. Listen to it as your work up the step count and mileage, and explore your strides and how you rebound in the step to find something that feels strong and doesn’t facilitate pain. The classic shoe community is all about “how can we build a shoe that protects your feet from discomfort” whereas the barefoot shoe movement focuses on “how can we strengthen our body such that the protection isn’t required”. There’s obviously a balance, and that’s why barefoot shoes still have things like soles to prevent injury from sharps and provide traction.
The Primus outsole is around 2mm thick. It’s a night and day difference compared to a normal shoe. I actually think the whole “we need arch support argument” is sorta overblown because I have super high arches and had issues with my feet pronating in, putting stress on my knees, and since I’ve swapped things got much better. You change how you walk, so you don’t slam your heels down like most do, instead relying much more on Achilles and calf muscles. My foot fascia feels stronger as do my calves after daily walking in vivos, and this was noticeable a few months after swapping. The first week was the most odd, as you somewhat have to learn how to walk to not have as much impact (let your calves be the “spring” and land midfoot or ball of foot) especially on things like concrete.
This is why barefoot shoes exist, e.g. Vivobarefoot. Thin, puncture-resistant soles that prevent puncture and slice damage while still allowing your feet to remain connected with the ground and get stronger.
That’s quite a statement, are you sure about that? The Graphene team has done a considerable amount of work sandboxing the environment of Google Play, both in memory, permission structure, and IO access that MicroG completely blows past. Given how the Graphene sandboxing works, I actually can’t think of a scenario where the statement that MicroG is more private than Graphene sandboxed Google Play. In either scenario you don’t have to log in, so I’d much rather have an environment that has been isolated than tooling that still has tendrils reaching into the main OS itself (MicroG).
This is what I ended up opting for and it works very well
IMO Graphene is the only true option in this list, with Copperhead being aggressively sus given the history
I was just looking at this, to pair with a custom keyboard and run in portrait mode for editing software. Have any shipped yet? All the YouTube videos I’ve seen are just people talking about screenshots
