Google Fi is the one thing I have no experience with, as I'm not American. But all SIMs should work fine on Graphene, and eSIMs are supported through a compatibility layer, which enables Google's proprietary eSIM management tool (this is not the same as Sandboxed Google Play services, and you don't need Google Play for eSIMs). All the eSIMs and physical SIMs I tried work just fine. Google Fi seems to work, according to this thread on the Graphene Forum: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/7950-does-grapheneos-work-with-google-fi/6
Enjoy your spyware-free degoogled experience! Feel free to dm me if you have any questions. I'd say I'm quite experienced with GrapheneOS, degoogling and Android in general.
Both. Buy physical media, rip the audio files and put them on your selfhosted music server (e.g. Navidrome). Or pirate the music and buy some merch to compensate the artists.
No need for Telegram bots. There are both proprietary and open source apps that you can use to do this yourself. Check out https://rentry.org/firehawk52 and https://ripped.guide/Audio/Music/
Everybody ~~buy~~ pirate your music. These streaming platforms are trash.
I recommend Bazzite instead. It's based on Universal Blue (which is actually based on Fedora Atomic) and gives you a super easy and stable experience.
I'm waiting for some FOSS developers to hack this thing and run custom firmware on it. Or someone who creates their own "Car Thing" using an Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
Still glad they mentioned this topic at all. I wouldn't have expected it from LTT.
Definitely check out The Linux Experiment on YouTube. DistroTube and Mental Outlaw also make great videos about Linux, some of them are more advanced though. If you need to learn how to use the Terminal, check out Learn Linux TV, as well as some other recommendations from these threads: https://lemdro.id/post/8480193 and https://lemmy.ml/post/15455439
You don't need to, but the entire framework has been specifically designed around this GNOME development philosophy, making it basically unusable for anything else. There are much better frameworks like Qt (C++/QML, but has bindings for almost every language), Iced (Rust), Avalonia (if you use C#) and many others
Ok that's reasonable
