8.4 Months of Daily Driving GrapheneOS

I've been running GrapheneOS on my Pixel Fold for over half a year now and can finally provide some experience on what it's like. Also, the official hardware partnership was announced!

Just FYI, day 61 of #DailyDriving #FreeBSD.

Zero complaints! I mean, zero serious complaints. There are one or two minor things I haven't figured out yet, but for the most part, it feels just like #Linux, except that, you know... it has DOCUMENTATION. πŸ˜‚

#LinuxMobile #DailyDriving

In today's episode of "Hey, Look at Me, I’m Quirky! πŸ€ͺ" we examine the latest trend: daily driving a Linux phone! πŸš—πŸ“± Because, who doesn’t love a good masochistic challenge of carrying TWO phones? πŸ™„ It's like choosing to ride a unicycle when there's a perfectly good car next to it. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@ustralien Sadly no, and that's my big disappointment!

@frameworkcomputer decided to choose the #Apple-esque "flat cells below #trackpad" design in the unreasonable #THINN-ness race instead of doing what even the #EeePC and #Sony's #Vaio #P11Z did and have a slot at the back to chug in batteries!

  • I know why they did it, as a closed aluminium pan aka. "#lunchbox" design is easier to fabricate, but I'd rather some #ToolfreeSwappableBattery which are IMHO of more practicality than having the ability to swap out every port.

Not that I don't like those #modules, but I'd rather wish for a "#THICC-er" device if that gets me essentials like #Ethernet, #USB-A & -C as well as a #TRRS #HeadphoneJack / #HeadsetJack.

That being said the #Framework is still by a long margin the "least #enshittified" device on the market, and same goes for the #Fairphone devices...

Not to mention they don't have an #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint and I do use that instead of a Trackpad.
