LoveSausage,

I have runned all of them , graphene is is by far the easiest to get around for someone new

LoveSausage,

Graphene OS . Best you can get on Android.

As alredy mentioned, but also install wise , very easy compared to installing twrp and Micro-g etc. Also Installing GOS and sandboxed playstore in main profile, hand it to someone completely oblivious and they will have no problems using it as they would normally do on stock. Learning to use it in separate profiles is just a matter of getting used to it.

PeppermintOS everything you need and nothing you don’t. Debian based with extra on top. Runs on 2gb ram , fast. Click install and setup but all the terminal stuff you want.since everyone mentions mint , it was a while since I used it. Felt bloated , perhaps better now. I stil say peppermint even for someone coming directly from Windows

LoveSausage,

There is a reason there are tons of Debian distros. They all make a difference.

Start with the basics. Use a VPN preferable a good one payed in crypto /XMR or cash. Use Foss apps only check out F-droid.

Also one that blocks malware and ads. If not use adguard.dns or other that filter traffic

Settings , disable 2-3 G if you always have access to 4-5 G .

Don’t change add browsers use vanadium. No gapps obviously.

The more challenging is to just use it as WiFi phone without SIM.

LoveSausage,

I used adguard.dns before now I have VPN that have DNS filter. Disabling 2-3g minimize attack surface but just a small thing use 3 g if you need it. You can use both private DNA in settings and a free VPN if you want.

LoveSausage,

Proton riseup and calyx comes to mind.

LoveSausage,

It’s only an attack surface minimation , security is better on new generations. I use all since I am in the middle of nowhere. If you don’t need it disable it, otherwise let it be

LoveSausage,

Why would you use Chrome webview plus something else? You can’t replace just pile on. Not a good idea. grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing

LoveSausage,
  1. That makes no sense.
  2. Vanadium have a different approach than trying to block it , blend in instead.
  3. Gecko based browser have crap sandboxing
  4. Again if you have 1 problem adding 1 more makes 2 problems.
LoveSausage,

You can run any distro you like on it , but peppermint is is my favourite. Everything you need and nothing you don’t.

LoveSausage,

Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleed…

Actually no , Romanian cards are non KYC , one of the few countries left in Europe. I’m in another but can live with a foreign number

LoveSausage,

Here I have to go to an office show passport , green card and sign paperwork . To get any simcard.

Yea I’m looking in do network monitoring when first connecting the phone. Will need root it seems. But since I will install GOS and reset it afterwards it would probably be my best bet for verifying no bad connections . Long time since I used wireshark but should be possible.

LoveSausage, (edited )

Thanks :) start selling on ebay seems to be a good business :)

LoveSausage,

Nope Spain has a green one

LoveSausage,

Stealth.net sounds promising for topping up the card. Just USD Any other options for EUR cards?

LoveSausage,

Yea out of stock and lack of info though

LoveSausage, (edited )

Thanks. yea simXL seems not like bad option , will check the esim statuson GOS nowadays. :( Seems the E- Sims have a 30 day limit…

LoveSausage,

Damn that do looks interesting. Ty

Hungary and Sweden agree on defense deal ahead of final vote on Sweden's NATO accession (apnews.com)

The prime ministers of Hungary and Sweden concluded a defense industry agreement on Friday that will expand Budapest’s fleet of Swedish-built fighter jets, paving the way for Hungary’s likely ratification of Sweden’s long-delayed NATO bid....

LoveSausage,

Same recommendation as usual from me :) pepparmint OS , Debian base extra on top

Use work laptop as personal device by dual booting on a separate internal drive?

I currently have a Dell laptop that runs Windows for work. I use an external SSD via the Thunderbolt port to boot Linux allowing me to use the laptop as a personal device on a completely separate drive. All I have to do is F12 at boot, then select boot from USB drive....

LoveSausage,

Damn my laptop has secure boot and extra on top , I believe the usb ports are physically disabled.

I assume everything is watched on what I’m doing. Can’t remember the wording but i can’t do shit without getting in a heap of trouble.

Browser add-ons are like a 2 week process to get approved

LoveSausage,

When you are attacked. Ok so when are you attacked , as soon as you connect outside. So unless you are air gapped you need a firewall.

LoveSausage,
