GOS Supports the pixel devices for the same amount of time as Google hard to keep a device secure once drivers are no longer being updated. But with Google extending support for pixel 6 and 7 series and the new 7 year guarantee on pixel 8 devices and newer this isn't really a concern anymore. So pixel 7a and fold will be supported until 2028 and Pixel 6 and 6 pro until 2026 pixel 7, 7 pro, and 6a until 2027. Seems like plenty of time for support and that means as long as Google supports it so does GOS.

My last bank did that so I switched banks my new bank app works without any play services installed on GOS.

Once LinageOS is installed your bootloader is always unlocked so anyone who finds your phone if lost owns it. GrapheneOS and a few other ROMs I forget the names of allow the bootloader to be relocked keeping android security model intact allowing the device to still be secure.

Works on GrapheneOS

Usenet for me as well and my 32.7 TB NAS.

All apps work fine on GOS no tinkering needed if a app is broken its broken on linage as well because of play integrity

Can confirm on Android 15 on GOS that JXL in the gallery app you linked does work and open them.

To my knowledge reddit has always worked like this when a mod removes a post no new users that have zero interaction with the post will see the comments it removes the post from all. But if you have commented in the past or are a original OP or have the direct link to the post the comments will always be there.

This just seperates it into a secondary profile but all apps in your main profile are already sandboxed as well the only apps that are not sandboxed are system apps such as Play services. But you could use the app in a work profile(shelter) under a seperate Google account that would add a bit more anonymity. But android default app sandbox could be more secure there are other custom ROMs that do just that making the regular app sandbox even more secure.

Here is more information on how each android app is sandboxed(except Play Services)

Thank you already seen this and like I said if it's a system app it's a no go for me any app to do with Google needs to be sandboxed being a privileged app is why I won't use it.

I use this on my pixel with Graphene OS and it works great once I completely degoogoled my entire phone my spam calls and text pretty much all went away.

As long as micro G is a system app in my opinion it is the same why not run it as a sandboxed app. There is probably a reason why it can't just think it would be more privacy first approach to sandbox it but that is just my opinion everyone's threat model is different I don't use Google at all anymore so non issue for me. Still better than stock Google Play true just think micro G could do more.
