    Running GrapheneOS on a Pixel is incredibly easy. You don’t need to be technical at all to get it set up. The instructions and the process are simple. Get on it!

      I’m thick as mince and am running GrapheneOS, AND I came from 16 years of iPhones.

      If I can do it, anyone can.

      This, the web installer basically does everything for you, so no way to fuck up unless you disconnect the phone during the setup. Also haven’t had any problems with banking apps and the like, though Eventim doesn’t seem to work.

        I haven’t had issues with my banking app either but I don’t use the NFC wallet functionality and never have. I prefer to just tap my physical card.

      That’s technically true but the default experience would be a challenge for most noobs. It takes a bit of work to get apps for typical stuff, have to go get Fdroid and allow install from other sources etc

        You can use the Aurora store for apps. You can also use Google Play for apps if you’re not super privacy minded. The beauty of GrapheneOS is that it doesn’t have to be a locked down security privacy-minded OS if you don’t want it to be. It can be just as functional as anything else with very few exceptions.

        It just gives you the option to pursue security and privacy if you want.
