I have always wondered what this OS looks like. They have an incredibly detailed website with zero screenshots.
There are numerous video walkthroughs of GrapheneOS. This would be one starting point: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=aNgupWEV13M > Visually, it generally looks much like stock Android in terms of capabilities, though a stock install generally has far fewer apps installed.

How can you be free when you're not private or secure? Grapheneos is fully open source and comes with 0 Google services. >so called "security" Grapheneos is widely recognized as one of the most secure operating systems.
> How can you be free when you're not private or secure? Are you serious? Have you even seen the state of modern operating systems compared to the operating systems of the 80s and 90s? I've had way more fun and learnt lot more about computers messing around with OSes that let you did whatever the hell you wanted to. Modern OSes have sacrificed a lot in that name of security. As for privacy, that's a completely separa…

Years ago I looked into GrapheneOS, and I ultimately didn't go with it because, at least at the time, they only supported pixel phones (specifically pixel phones that Google actively had security updates for). I realized that if I got that OS, I would be at the mercy of Google supporting the device in order to continue using GrapheneOS. In the end I just opted out of the android ecosystem altogether and went with a f…
At the time? They still are the only devices officially supported.
Having your freedom be tied to a handful of devices from Google, is a massive supply chain risk.

Yes, GOS has excellent compatibility with Google. The play services are sandboxed like a normal app and work great.
Does this mean I could install Google wallet? I feel like this would be the only thing really stopping me.
If you live in the EU then you can use curve pay which can tap to pay.
Why is no tap to pay significant enough to stop you from switching to a phone that is private and secure? You can just carry a card and tap—they're tiny.

I don't think that fairphone is interested in privsec so it will never be supported.
them supporting e/OS suggests otherwise

It seems to me that /e/ is opposed to privacy and security. https://xcancel.com/GrapheneOS/status/2066908368560656652#m
e/OS is clearly a step up from default Android
I've been running GrapheneOS for 7 months now and I'm not going back. When I bought my Pixel 10 last year, I wasn't actually planning on trying Graphene for a while....until I noticed Google had force bundled a 'Wicked For Good' movie promo theme with the latest security update.

This is how users learn to not update anything.

Ha! Me too! Exact same. Bought a Pixel 10. Intended to do the default Android for a while. But it was filled with ads for “Wicked” which had me looking at my phone with a sneer on my face I couldn't erase - as if someone had smeared feces all over it and threw it on my bed. So I jumped straight to GrapheneOS, which was way easier and less extreme than I had been warned. So beautifully minimal, with no crap. Now my ph…
What about banking Apps? No problem there? Some of them have ridiculous secur... compliance rules.
