It really depend on your threat model, Proton Pass is fine. Of course a self-hosted or local solution will be more privacy friendly but at the cost of being responsable for security and good backups (3,2 1 rule).
There is no black or white regarding privacy. You want to ask yourself what you want to protect from and is the investment worth being sovereign ?
Never had any issue with my old RX 5700 XT beside hot temperature and so noise, I have mitigated it with changing thermal paste and undervolting it. 0 issue with my RX 6600, so for my RX 7800 XT either
By default PRISM doesn’t allow you to add offline account without login a MS account that own the Java Edition. But you can edit a file in order to bypass this restriction. The Ely fork of PRISM doesn’t have that restriction.

Age Verification is such a scam, why are politician still doesn’t know how internet works in 2025…
No they will support these device as long as Google does.
Monopolistic behavior…
Only non-carrier-locked Google Pixel phones. They have been talking about potential partnership with other OEM but it’s not easy with Google ToS for Android OEM manufacturer to support other OS officially. Also they have paranoid-level security model and beside a few company like Google, Apple and maybe Samsung few devices would meet their requierments… And you know, Samsung introduced Knox to prevent their users to flash other firmware or mod their hardware and the other one, Apple, is the company that killed the FOSS Cydia Store…
I avoid running Google software on my devices so I don’t have the Gemini App
Yep you can’t flash carrier locked Pixels, I hope you don’t have much longer to wait or that the time will fly fast

I can totally relate to this! Perfectly sentenced.
GrapheneOS will continue supporting the current devices we support until their end-of-life dates. We’ll also add support for new Pixels as long as they meet our requirements. We’ve tried to make that clear, but recent posts about changes to AOSP have been widely misrepresented. Prior to Android 16, Pixels had first class support in the Android Open Source Project as the official reference devices. This was never one of our requirements and no other device provides it.
From my understanding yes but maybe not in this thread
Yes. Revolut prevented new users to login in a specific version of their app (the newer). Users that were already logged in could update the app without issue and users could use an older APK of Revolut to sign in. However the PlayIntegrity process that was banning their GrapheneOS users have been resolved and now the harden OS is whitelisted from Revolut.
At least that’s what I have followed/understood from the whole thing but I am not a Revolut user.
These projects suffer from the same issues with how Google share new Android versions. This is not a solution. Also if you have a Pixel I would personnaly use a secure locked bootloader OS rather than an unsecure unlocked bootloader. I tend to privilege /e/OS on Fairphone and LineageOS on phone that have already dropped support.
Honestly I think that AlternativeOS will always be possible, the main issue is how compatible it will be with everyday apps that people rely on. We’ve started to see some compatibility issue with Play Integrity on GrapheneOS, with Revolut (has been fixed) and Alternate AppStore such as AuroraStore having some apps refusing to launch if not installed from PlayStore itself.
On the Linux side of thing you could see how your plugins performs on a VM and or see how Ardour plays with your hardware.
Well GrapheneOS is a a robust mobile OS built for security. It brings amazing privacy out-of-the-box and control features. You really own your phone! Not Google, not Big Techs and Government, YOU.
That is a misleading claim right here, don’t blindly trust everything you read online. The core team of the project explained it very well why it’s not as dramatic as people made it seems too. It’s not an ideal position and Google is definitely going in a direction that doesn’t not benefit AOSP but no Android16 is comming to GrapheneOS and future version also should.
Never had the opportunity to try an Intel GPU but from what I’ve looked they are good affordable low-end GPU for the value. However I don’t know how the Linux support is. Also the AMD RX 9600 XT is a mid-range so not the same competition. I would say that if you can afford it you should upgrade to this one.
