Switching to GrapheneOS (lemmy.world)

Good afternoon, y'all!

I have decided to take the plunge and switch over to Graphene OS. Is there anything I need to know before I use the web installer? I'm a bit bummed about having to set up all my apps again, but I'm exporting all my settings, thanks FOSS apps! to help with the transition. Most of my data is fully backed up through Nextcloud, so I'll be able to just jump straight in with my photos and data.

So yeah, any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated before I go through with it tonight. Thanks, y'all and again, I love being a part of the Lemmy community.

Good luck. I switched over some months ago after using samsungs since the S2.

It takes some getting used to, but I dont think there's gonna be ant bigger showstoppers in 2026.

What I miss from samsung is the gallery (and ocr) and some smaller inconviences. Oh and dex. Android's baked in desktop isnt really up to dex on any scale
