They are very security fovused and is against f-droid's poor security practices. They do push accrescent through their stores tho

I assume you're using it with bootloader unlocked. The issue is somehow some malware injects your phone and roots it, it can just install itself as a system service and just live there and you'll never know. The security feature that protects against it is disabled once bootloader is unlocked.
Also I've heard that LineageOS has not all security updates present since some firmware updates needs to be provided by the specific manufacturer. For Pixel, Google provides it and GOS uses it.
I'll pay the hardware with money and not my data.
Way to go
Yeah GrapheneOS rarely does eye-candy features. They have a very small team so they exclusively work on security features.
Yeah it's ironic but what is the alternative? At least we CAN remove Google's known spyware from the device, and there's no evidence of firmware level spying. If you get Samsung, or some chinese crap, you can't remove Google period, and you might get spied by the manufacturer as a cherry on top. There is no way to have a perfect solution, well unless Samsung starts to provide Custom ROM support or something.
Regarding banking app, check privsec.dev 's list.
Regarding Pixel, don't see it as giving money to Google, see it as payingnfor good hardware.
Banking apps works for me, they have a list at privsec.dev check that out first.
MicroG doesn't have as much compatibility as Sandboxed Pkay. Also I think LineageOS is not as patched and kept up to date, maybe try DivestOS or CalyxOS (both forks of Lineage)
Cellebrite and the new Grayjack or something both has zero ways to crack a GOS phone 🔥
Did you fix VoLTE stuff? What was the issue?
Cool! How would you compare it to iOS experience?
I was looking to buy a new laptop for some time (have even asked your help), and finally I went with an Acer Nitro 5 . I got it 2 days ago and so far, I'm fully satisfied.
Specs:
Intel core i7 12650H (only goes to 4.0GHz due to thermals), an 150W RTX 3070ti (which does go to full 150W, no thermal issues there), a 1Tb SSD, 1440p 165Hz display that looks super good, 57Wh battery(yeah).
In setting up the laptop I did face some visual glitches when I installed Intel graphics drivers from Intel's official website... Had to reinstall Acer drivers to fix it (weird). Otherwise no bugs. Even installed Linux. Got 4hrs battery life that way.
I tried running 3dMark Time spy and have added the results in the post. modern games are yet to test.
What do you guys think? Should I check anything else? Would you like to see something else running on it?

Not exactly good but the way I do it is to use a USB HDD to have backups and E2EE cloud solutions
