Sure you could root and install microG , don't see why but you can do it. GOS sanboxed playatore is a better option.

So is anythiing if you know the pattern.

Nah

Conditioned much?

Lots of stuff here but for something useful.

Get a radio /cellular disruptor /signal jammer you plug in the cigg outlet. Wont be able to listen to radio or use your phone.

Old car if possible.

If not a basic Dacia is the least bad of the new ones.

Was this recently? It was bad under micay but thought it had improved by now.

I run graphene on several devices and recommend it. I do not participate in much discussion about it through. You can just use the best we got in android and be fine with that.

Discussion forums are the same all over I think. I don't see much difference around graphene here on Lemmy or XDA forum.

Do see this if you got a Swedish vpn connection , sorry could not find it elsewhere https://www.svtplay.se/video/84d7ad5/30-minuter/eu-kommissionaren-ylva-johansson?id=84d7ad5 Nikka system also completely destroyed her arguments , cant find it right now

I kind of followed Ylva Johansson on this issue and more. I am 100 % sure that what she was saying and what she belived is completely different. She is smart. She was also completely destroyed when confronted with IT security people. She is really in the pocket. Anyryone with some opsec knowledge knows it is nothing about child porn, there are millions of ways to distribute that shit either way

Social media. And not in a good way

As alredy mentioned, but also install wise , very easy compared to installing twrp and Micro-g etc. Also Installing GOS and sandboxed playstore in main profile, hand it to someone completely oblivious and they will have no problems using it as they would normally do on stock. Learning to use it in separate profiles is just a matter of getting used to it.

Graphene OS . Best you can get on Android.

I have runned all of them , graphene is is by far the easiest to get around for someone new

Yea but the S in PHP stands for security

There is a reason there are tons of Debian distros. They all make a difference.

PeppermintOS everything you need and nothing you don't. Debian based with extra on top. Runs on 2gb ram , fast. Click install and setup but all the terminal stuff you want.since everyone mentions mint , it was a while since I used it. Felt bloated , perhaps better now. I stil say peppermint even for someone coming directly from Windows

1. That makes no sense.
2. Vanadium have a different approach than trying to block it , blend in instead.
3. Gecko based browser have crap sandboxing
4. Again if you have 1 problem adding 1 more makes 2 problems.

Why would you use Chrome webview plus something else? You can't replace just pile on. Not a good idea. https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing

It's only an attack surface minimation , security is better on new generations. I use all since I am in the middle of nowhere. If you don't need it disable it, otherwise let it be

Proton riseup and calyx comes to mind.

I used adguard.dns before now I have VPN that have DNS filter. Disabling 2-3g minimize attack surface but just a small thing use 3 g if you need it. You can use both private DNA in settings and a free VPN if you want.

Start with the basics. Use a VPN preferable a good one payed in crypto /XMR or cash. Use Foss apps only check out F-droid.

Also one that blocks malware and ads. If not use adguard.dns or other that filter traffic

Settings , disable 2-3 G if you always have access to 4-5 G .

Don't change add browsers use vanadium. No gapps obviously.

The more challenging is to just use it as WiFi phone without SIM.
