    Unpopular opinion but… First privacy and security is not the same, one relays on the other tho. So find your treat model when it comes to privacy. If its about security as you mentioems qubes is also great, yet needs a lot of knowledge. Your computer is only as secure as you made it and make it! Keep it up to date etc. For a normal user who don’t have the knowledge or used qubes or even Linux in the past it is probably a jump to high. Macos is secure, not very private. Consider all of this find out yout treat model find out what you use your computer for. Separate business and private accounts etc…








  • I never understood the all or nothing approach. I use grapheneOS as my daily drive for work, and have multiple profiles for each of my needs. That’s probably all you need, however I do have an iPhone (lots of !y family do imessage and we are sadly in the ecosystem I use apple music for example. I like also some apps more on iOS. Especially for mastodon, but even for Lemmy apple has some great apps. Again I don’t think you need two devices, especially when you use profiles. But I do see why iOS is attractive and used alongside. IPads is another big use, no android tablet comes close.







  • I think missing out is the wrong wording. The samsung has way more to offer, but it is a privacy nightmare. You can, however, remove a lot of bloatware and go with rethinkdns and their firewall by blocking most system apps you leave. Another approach would be combining the firewall with decloudus. I used nextdns for years and tried adguard as well, but decloudus get samsung and google pretty much eliminated.

    You won’t have the GrapheneOS privacy setup and will never be able to come close to that. Yet, it’s not the worth way to get a samsung phone behave and not calling home ;)
