As a #Linux user (NixOS + Sway) for some time now, I really like it. It's fast, it get's out of the way after the initial setup, it's super stable.
I cannot say the same for #GrapheneOS / #Android. Moving from #iOS, which was annoying and buggy in it's own way, i've discovered that apps are slower, buggier, and often have subpar functionality. The OS is schizophrenic about whether to show me things in English or Japanese. Takings screenshots, sending photos/videos is pain.

It's unfortunately true that a lot of companies allocate significantly less resources to their Android apps, as opposed to their iOS apps, especially for American companies. Not much that we can do about that on our end.

I think you might be referring to an upstream bug that was recently introduced in AOSP. Hopefully Google will fix it soon.
>Takings screenshots, sending photos/videos is pain.
Could you elaborate on what your issues with that has been? I assume it has more to do with being more accustomed to iOS rather than Android, but maybe I can help.
@matchboxbananasynergy I'd like to start out with saying thank you for reaching out, and that I would not have even considered trying Android if not for the work the GrapheneOS has done.
My criticism is from an overall user perspective, of someone who daily drives open source on the desktop. It's not aimed specifically at GrapheneOS, and I acknowledge that many of the issues stem from other places.
