Anybody using @calyxos@fosstodon.org or @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social and can talk about it a bit?
I've been on Android since Donut, went through a phase of flashing a ROM a couple times every week between Honeycomb and KitKat. I'm not worried about the technical part of installation or any of those aspects
Are there many limitations for banking apps? Is that solved with micro-g or another set of packages? I'm just so ready to be done with GoogleOS

@stroz@infosec.exchange GrapheneOS greatly improves both privacy and security compared to the Android Open Source Project while CalyxOS does the opposite by lagging far behind standard patches and protections. They're not in the same space. Nearly every Android app is compatible with GrapheneOS. It has our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer to run apps depending Google Play. Banking apps are a special case but most work. App compatibility is much work on operating systems using microG including CalyxOS.
