E-TARD The LifeCasterWell today I got my Google Pixel 9a phone😁.
So now I can retire my old Asus ZenFone Z5 but only after I remove the bullshit OS that came with the Pixel 9a and install GrapheneOS😎
I like the phone but I don't like Google.
So that night installing GrapheneOS was easy after I went through hell in trying to get Chromium with Web-USB on my Non-Main PC running kubuntu v24.04.4 LTS.
After an Hr of trying I gave up & moved onto trying to get Chrome on the system but that also was a bitch but not as hard as Chromium🙄
After I was done with Chrome I used TimeShift to make it like evil chrome was never on my system.
I hate Chrome & Chromium.

Mr. B34n🛸@ETARD_The_LifeCaster My pixel runs LineageOS and it's really nice. Not to mention was the easiest phone to unlock the bootloader and root with Magisk. If you are into that.

I have reasons why I did not go #LineageOS
.1 Do I need Root?
Well I ran what came on my Asus ZenFone Z5 becasue I had never seen a stock ROM that had just about nothing on it & did not drive me crazy, so I have not had root for a long time(yes I do miss sometimes) but GrapheneOS is more security centric & to be that way I can't have root access.
.2 I do like the easier web-installer that GrapheneOS has vs the flashing way.
I don't flash phones everyday & don't want to brick it.
@ETARD_The_LifeCaster Hey that's fair I get it. I never really figured out how to install GrapheneOS but it might have still been called Copperhead actually. You do not need root. I do cause I am addicted to Admin Access. 😂

I'm the kind of user who has felt that all Android is not safe & becasue of that feeling I don't do many things on it.
like:
No e-mail at all!!!
I have always had gmail removed or disabled & the google account on my phone is a bullshit user that I use to only access the play-store, it has no ties to me at all & I store my contacts in a offline app and other than google maps/store I use almost no google shit.
No Banking or Paying for things with my Phone.
No Medical Stuff.

With GrapheneOS I feel a little safer but I still will not do any of that stuff on my phone.
