Typo? or are you saying Graphene is only suitable for a narrow band of intermediate users
Nope, I don’t recommend it’s use to anyone. A person who doesn’t understand can at best gain a false sense of security and a person who does (which I will not falsely represent myself to be) will gain an understanding of smartphone technology that causes them to either curtail their smartphone use overall or give up.
It’s phenomenal and eye opening learning experience though.
They're saying they dont recommend it to anyone.
I think to be deprecatory about their choice. Or while acknowledging it has use they still wouldnt recommend it. I have a ton of apps I have used/continue to use that I would never recommend to people. (Dont use anything made by elsevier, they are the devil)
All the technical stuff is beyond me though. I have android on a cheap phone because I am poor and not tech savvy.
In that case ig check if you phone supports lineageOS and look for tutorials on installing it
GrapheneOS doesn't support PinePhone? Is there some third party?
Nah I was conflating two things, Pine with the mobile Debian that you lock down, or a Pixel with Graphene would be (some)the options
Rooting your android phone makes it less secure
