When it comes to my computer, I use Linux - specifically Debian :linux: But I guess your question was about my phone - I use . It's a custom ROM based on Android that focuses a lot on privacy and security 🔐 Right now, it's considered the most secure system for mobile devices.

By default, it doesn't include any Google services, but you can install them in a sandbox - they work like regular apps with precise permission control ⚙️ The system even lets you block apps from accessing the network or sensors.

GrapheneOS also has stronger security - many vulnerabilities just don't exist on it, and if they do, they're fixed much faster than in AOSP. I get updates every few days 🔄

Sounds too good to be true? Actually, no - GrapheneOS works just like the regular Android on :google: Pixel devices. The interface, how you use it, and the overall experience are almost the same, so there's no learning curve. The system runs smoothly, is stable and responsive - I haven't had any bugs, crashes or app compatibility issues ✅

About payment apps - I only use cash :yellow_money:, so I haven't needed them. From what I know, some of them work fine, especially if Google services are installed in the sandbox. If any don't work, the GrapheneOS community has good documentation for workarounds and alternatives 📚 So any issues are more about setup than system limitations.

Installing the system is easy - you unlock the bootloader, enter fastboot mode, and click a few times on the install page 🖱️ You can find more info at https://grapheneos.org.
