It's not an easy install if it literally can't be fucking installed on most devices.

    Had no idea, no reason to get hostile about it.

    Sorry, I've had a lot of assholes telling people to use GrapheneOS like it's super easy for most people to just go out and get a specific phone that is relatively low in market share (making them harder to find second hand too) like it's as easy as running to the store for a loaf of bread and they get super aggressive when called out on it and it has, in turn, been pissing me off.

    GrapheneOS is legitimately great IF you have a device that can run it, which most people don't. A lot of it's fans are raging assholes. Sorry for assuming you were one of them.

    You just won the most moronic phrase of the week. That's like saying there's no point to sd cards because there are devices that don't have a way ro use them.

    If you were already talking about limited storage on devices that typically can't use SD cards, then yes, you're a fucking idiot if you say "Just use an SD card to increase your storage! It's EASY!" Which is what you're doing when people are talking about Android issues and you say the same fucking thing about GrapheneOS.

    TL;DR: There's a moron here, but it isn't me.
