I hate SMS as a whole. It needs to be replaced with something modern.

You’re welcome. Thank you for your kind comment.

Figured I should let you know. GOS is an Operating System, which is different from ROM which is short for Read Only Memory. It’s like calling windows on your PC a ROM instead of an OS. It makes no sense.

Yes, https://nitter.net

I gotta get into Arch someday. How’s your experience so far? Easy to use? (I’m sure it is, the wiki is very detailed) Glad to see you like GOS

All apps work fine on grapheneos, besides above mentioned pay, some banking and auto.

Using sandboxed google play gmail and regular apps from play store work fine. :)

You can read more about sandboxed google play here. Here: https://grapheneos.org/features#sandboxed-google-play

I really recommend you read above link, it goes more in-depth.

GrapheneOS is protecting people from bad actors who get ahold of these devices

Ohh that is valid. I do miss that feature. Hopefully someday it is brought to AOSP

Only ever needed root when I used gingerbread devices

I think you should take the plunge, grapheneOS is very easy to install with the web installer https://grapheneos.org/install/web and an overall easy to use and setup os :)

Majority of my apps are from github or f-droid repos

Oh you mean just traditional desktop level experience I see

I’m not sure if GrapheneOS uses the stock dialer and SMS apps

Can confirm, they are the stock apps

GrapheneOS will be fine. There are other open source apps available for carrier-based calls and texts. Development of the AOSP apps can also be continued Source: https://nitter.net/GrapheneOS/status/1669196420333682689

Android uses the Linux kernal, so it is technically linux

These apps are open source, so a OS developer should be able to forward port the deprecated app into their newer OS release. Kinda fear monger a bit here

Fun fact: Android uses the Linux kernal. So they are also Linux phones.
