  The joke is that GrapheneOS only works on Google Pixel phones.

      Eh, I got a used Pixel 8 for $350 or so, and it works great with GrapheneOS.

      My gold standard is a proper Linux phone, but those aren’t reliable enough yet, so using Google’s phone is the next best option.

      I spent a mere $500 for my Pixel 9a. Most expensive phone I’ve ever owned. But at least I can send a text message from inside my house and make phones from out in my yard now.

    I noticed that, and they are expensive.

      Bought a Pixel 7a new below 350 EUR last december. Buying used is also an option.

        That is reasonably priced. I have another year on my current phone before it is paid off. I armored it up like there is no tomorrow so it should last without a breakage.

        I had a problem for years of buying cases and tempered glass for my phone since I had a phone break BECAUSE of those things.
