Ask the GrapheneOS Discord/Matrix. They’ll tell you the exact same thing.
The fact is there's no privacy without security and the Librem doesn't have the latter.
The sensor is built into the display.
I won't stop you from using the Librem but at the end of the day a false sense of security is more damaging than anything else. I can with 100% certainty assure you that even your average Samsung phone has better security than the Librem. A phone with absolute abbysmal and ancient hardware that Purism sells for 10-20 times the cost of an equivalently powerful Android phone from AliExpress. Heck, even the PinePhone (which also runs Linux) sells for like $200 and has better hardware. Purism is a scam company. I know you don't want to hear this but it's the truth.
You set up the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 8 like any other Android phone. Either during first setup or by going into your security settings.
I use the fingerprint sensor. Don't get a Librem, it's a scam and security on it is a disaster. Stick with GrapheneOS. Heck, stock is more secure than the Librem, believe it or not. I wouldn't touch that thing with a 10ft pole.
As someone who uses both Android and iOS, I appreciate my Pixel 8 Pro running GrapheneOS (a custom version of Android) more and more.
You wouldn't download a car?
Fedora’s my favorite. It’s also the most secure without going straight to QubesOS, which is not beginner friendly.
GrapheneOS only works on Pixels. Also, you can't install anything other than iOS on an iPhone.
How's the performance per watt?
Oh wait. Nevermind, Intel sucks anyway. If it's not performance issues, it's hardware exploits. Not to mention Intel's support for genocide in Gaza.
People online were making fun at my old PC still running an FX 8350. That one was released before all this. Who’s laughing now? I’m only partially kidding lol.
