I switched to gOS and had to go back for NFC payments and auto.
It is great to see though, those are just necessities for me. Having gone back, I can say I hate pixel launcher and can't even change keyboard
I'm genuinely curious, what makes NFC a necessity? And what do you mean by auto?
I don't carry a wallet, and card contactless is limited to like 50. Can't even do the weekly shop.
Android Auto for driving is difficult to get working, I see gOS can do it but I couldn't get it to work.
It's been a while since I got mine set up and working, but IIRC all I had to do was install Android Auto from the preinstalled GrapheneOS App Store app
Its trains when I travel for me. I am not giving up my tap to pay.
I might just be old, but I can do that with my debit and credit cards without involving my phone, so I couldn't care less.
Limited in terms of value so it is less useful.
Lifestyle creep is real. I was like you before. Keep fighting the good fight and I will join you once Linux figures out NFC.
Brother/Sister if that is the good fight, I seem to be missing my cape. Happy new year :)
