Good afternoon, y’all!
I have decided to take the plunge and switch over to Graphene OS. Is there anything I need to know before I use the web installer? I’m a bit bummed about having to set up all my apps again, but I’m exporting all my settings, thanks FOSS apps! to help with the transition. Most of my data is fully backed up through Nextcloud, so I’ll be able to just jump straight in with my photos and data.
So yeah, any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated before I go through with it tonight. Thanks, y’all and again, I love being a part of the Lemmy community.


Good on ya!
Nope, it’s S tier, or was for me, just works. (but uses a chrome browser for ungodly access, on the flipside, you get network deny access to all your android apps, which is godly)
As you transition, I recommend a second user with sandboxed google and a primary without. Over time you’ll learn to do without (FDroid is your friend), but every now and then you’ll want something and there it is, put all the crap you thought you needed in that user, and over time you’ll find alternatives. A while later you’ll find yourself google free, but if you actually need maps, it’s a swipe, tap and password away.
Welcome freedom.
