This is not a custom ROM but a hardware solution (installed on a windshield, with its own camera).

GrapheneOS is a beautiful stop-gap, but there are real bona-fide Linux smartphones out there. To be clear, there are not many, the hardware often isn't great, the software often isn't great. PinePhone and Librem come to mind.

I'm curious if GrapheneOS or other custom Android builds would be able to avoid these restrictions reasonably.

Obviously this is going to impact the supply of apps, since the market share of custom Android is smaller than even the market share of people willing to sideload or use an alternative store on a mainstream Android phone. Many developers might quit the game.

GrapheneOS uses a sandboxed version of Google Play Services, not the GMS certified devices they mentioned in the article.

Lol all these things work via the web. You just log on via the browswer. Not everything needs an app.

So many folks bashing the author. The message is clear, most people are not willing to alter their lives to live more comfortably.

Whether that is giving up living in comfort or making small changes to their habits.

I think the relevant commentary here is to look at what happiness looks like for you. For a lot of folks they are just going to mentally masturbate to alternative ways in life. For the select few that make those changes content like this is critical.

Thanks for spreading the seeds.
