I don't think so. I followed the instructions at GraphenOS using the web installer. I bought the phone refurbished with OEM unlocked.

Thanks, I'll remember that. I am not going to worry about other OS's besides GrapheneOS...for now. I just got my first de-googled phone setup. The next milestone (and possible endgame) would be a phone that has open source hardware and that I can fully control, including any software installed.

Don't forget to open source it, pleeeaaase! ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ˜† It would be so awesome if the hardware * and* software were open sourced. Just buy the boards or 3D print everything when you need it. Sighs A man can hope and dream.....๐Ÿ˜”

Where did you hear that? I definitely want to research it more now. I may just go ahead and get the 5 just to see the differences.

Linux phones that are independent of Google/Apple and do not spy on you are still maturing and a bit hard for me to get here in the US. So, I recently de-googled my smart phone.

I will make due with it until one of the Linux smart phones finally mature enough in terms of hardware and capability that it can replace it.

My big question is, which Linux phone seems to be the most promising? Which one should I keep my eye one? And how long will it take before any Linux phone can start seriously competing with the major brands? PinePhone, Librem, Murena, etc. ?

My First De-googling - Next Steps (feddit.org)
 

I have de-googled my Pixel Pro 7 (refurbished) with GraphenOS. ๐Ÿฅณ

One question before I declare this my first victory in the police-state-data wars. Is there anything else I should disable on the hardware side to make sure Google can't spy anymore? Microphone, drivers, etc. ?

If so, what's the best way?

Raspberry Pi Upgrade for RetroPi? in c/raspberrypi@feddit.org

So far, no. The ROMs I currently have are SNES and PS1. I am planning on adding more for SEGA and N64.

Raspberry Pi Upgrade for RetroPi? (feddit.org)
 

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that I have RetroPi installed on. I am thinking if I should get a Raspberry Pi 5 and install RetroPi on it. Has anyone who has tried this think it is worth it?
