I haven't looked into it much yet but grapheneOS has apparently come a far way and has an easy installer nowadays.

Only reason I've paused is I have to use a private 2fa authenticator for work and not sure if it'd work on the OS, but it looks like they've gotten most major bank apps work on it so that's one less obstacle

which 2fa do you use for work? microsoft? authy?

Authy doesnt work so I am transferring all to Keepass Not sure about microsoft though

Unfortunately they don't support any devices besides Google's Pixel: https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-support

Supporting at least major Samsung models would help adoption.

Buying Samsung is never the solution to anything. Plus, Motorola will have some cutting edge devices supported by GOS in about a year or so.

Unfortunately Samsung is making it more difficult to impossible to unlock the bootloaders of their recent devices, but you can reflash some of their older models at least to ROM's like crDroid - https://crdroid.net/

Had not idea, that really sucks. Guess im in the same boat with samsung..

It's not an easy install if it literally can't be fucking installed on most devices.

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

You just won the most moronic phrase of the week. That's like saying there's no point to sd cards because there are devices that don't have a way ro use them.

Had no idea, no reason to get hostile about it.
