I suggest watching the video, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QkC1aK7jfLo but the article has an OK summary.

Also a Mastodon shout-out in the video.

How much pain is that? You gonna make your wife use Lineage OS too? Let me know how that goes.

[–] BrickEater@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Its got its quirks but over all its actually pretty great! I did my girlfriend and I's phones at the same time since we have the same Motorola model. She's been having a good time with it so far, we both like it because Lineage feels like android from like 10 years ago.

My wife and I are smooth sailing on Graphene for almost 6 months now and she's not as techy

[–] MangoCats@feddit.it 3 points 4 days ago

My wife has Linux on her PC, and now she bitches less than she did with Windows, but it's always a problem still.

Phones are also always a problem, but at least with Android I can point and say: "the rest of the world puts up with this, or worse: that iOS that can't even map you to a place by its name..."

I helped SO move to Linux on their PCS. They dont touch windows except for work,and they're happy .our media center PC runs Linux and they're adept at navigating it, even doing some light terminal commands! And they are not super techy

Ive been getting them into f droid and removing garbage spyware apps on their s23. For now.

We are both getting pixels with graphene in the near future.

If you show them how good it is, many people are receptive. Just dont get too technical with it for them.
