Flatpak (flathub) is a universal app store. You can install pretty much any app from it, but you do need to be careful of what you install, as always.

Usually software centers have it enabled (supported) by default, so that you can install app from flatpak within the center.

There are other options of install source, like the distro’s own installer - you can think of them as another “app store”, one which is more restricted and more secure.

I am now conflicted. Some say that pixel is not great a device, but you are saying pixel is worth for GrapheneOS. How should I evaluate my needs and choose?

Thanks, I guess I will keep my phone for now. As it is significant risk for me to install different OS, I would resort to using android and just replacing google apps with FOSS apps.

Sad that current infrastructure is soo dependent on the spywares.

Yeah but some apps just do not have website equivalent, which is the main issue. For instance, the local messaging app does not have web version.

On the Magic Earth app, does it show multiple alternative routes? I found Organic maps problematic in that it only gave a single route.

I feel like my local bank etc. is relatively shitty in terms of software, so I am expecting it to not work anywhere other than android & iOS. Local map apps and local messaging app is the bigger issue for me, though.

I wish I could degoogle my android phone. Sadly, it would mean many of the apps I use would stop working…

As far as I understand, only F-droid apps would work on e.g. GrapheneOS - is this wrong? I believe there would be issues with

• Local chatting app
• Local map app (As good as OrganicMaps is, it seems to have limited support in route finding)
• Local banking app
• Local investing app
• Apps for university affairs
• Zoom

I feel so sad that I am locked to the platform…

EDIT: Just checked, seems like everything is reported to work except for local banking app. Sadly, it is too convenient to ditch…

My mother is currently like, AI will eliminate all junior jobs and everyone will be on the managerial position. It’s honestly exhausting. Damn, when will the hype end???
