Let's be honest.... GrapheneOS sucks the big one (lemmy.zip)

I'm sorry but it's true. Graphene OS sucks the big one.... It's absolutely janky when it comes to its Android app support, it's UI is absolutely atrocious, and all around. It's simply a wonky operating system.

Not only that but the whole premise of of making an operating system built only for Google pixel hardware on top of Android Open source project is just silly when it comes to the idea of "privacy". That would be like trying to open up a gay nightclub in Qatar. Google could snap its fingers tomorrow and lock down the ability to unlock bootloaders.

What do you think? Am I wrong here guys?

Before complaining, what have you done? What does your post do?

You post like a PSYOP, like we should give up, like there is no hope, WRONG.

At least they are trying. What you are you doing to defend our software freedom?

Kinda thinking the same thing. Been seeing a lot of posts shitting on graphene this week.

Several of them are from the OP alone. Look at their post history, and at least the last three posts have dedicated a sentence or two on calling GrapheneOS bad.

You are absolutely right. I just saw their history. They really do post like an active psyop.

Whatever you read here, remember, think 'does this post give us power or take it away?'

Not just GrapheneOS, everything, all the time.

Now you know what to tell them.
