    I flashed e/os to main and I love it! Automatic blocking of trackers. Clear notices when apps access hardware. Falsified GPS to a plausible location at the flip of a switch. It’s still not perfect but it’s a big step and very easy to install.

    I think Graphene is similar?

      I’ve just had so many random bullshit issues with syncing my phone while using a VPN. I’m very reluctant to go to a new OS entirely. Maybe I can dig out an old phone and experiment. But I haven’t even set up a proper Arr suite yet. So I’m not in a rush to add another task to the queue.

        Oh that’s totally fair! Honestly it’s been a really pleasant surprise? I thought I’d have to fight it but even the few Google apps I needed still worked without an issue. I’ve been gradually sunsetting them one by one and just removed the last one the other day.

        I love Organic Maps for nav. The voice is a little clunky but everything is computed offline.

        Did you want any help? Tech support is literally my job, lol. I’ve built an are stack + jellyfin, mailserver and home assistant before for what it’s worth.
