Moi? I use currently a NOTE 20 ultra 5g. Probably my second best phone, I only hate the fact it's so massive (I miss being able to use just one hand for my phone) and the mediocre battery life for someone like me that watches a lot of videos. But the S pen is so handy those few times you need it.

Would this be an overly complex process for those with only some tinkering experience (e.g., I've got Linux on my laptop and have a general sense of how terminal/tilix works)? I've read the docs but can't get a sense of the complexity

It's very easy to install GrapheneOS. All the instructions are laid out on their site. There are two options CLI or a web installer.

Thank you! 😊

GrapheneOS is by far the simplest experience I have ever had with flashing a custom ROM over the years. The web installer is very straightforward.

Awesome, thanks so much! I'll bump this into the projects list 😁

Web installer wont work with a sandboxed browser without some tinkering if you are installing off linux.

[-] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Okay time to show my ignorance lol. Can you offer a resource on what a sandboxed browser is and what kind of tinkering is required??

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 1 month ago

If you use flathub linux store, many apps will come "sanboxed" ie they will have restricted permissions on your system. This whole another lesson on how linux works.

Either way, in order to use the web installer, you need browser installed on "system" which i think means your normal user permissions which would allow you to use the web installer.

If you are having issues with web installer, command line still works.

I think easiest way is to install chromium as system to this job.
