You are absolutely correct, you got both of them right!

I was disappointed they didn’t actually restrict the app for router devices.
Embrace freedom, change the habits, eat the rich!! /s
They actually did for some people a couple of months ago.
You are much better off using a Pixel with GrapheneOS as far as privacy and security are concerned. Believe it or not, Google Pixels are the best smartphones to use de-googled. Truly outstanding.
Look up why Graphene team only supports these phones, it’s on their FAQ page.
Which is why I prefer NixOS (I use NixOS btw)
Definitely try it, using NixOS after the “horrors” of Arch feels much more secure. Your system is basically unbreakable, not unintentionally, at least.
NixOS user spotted!
Say whatever you want, Snowden’s a fucking hero for sharing this.
AFAIK, you can flash a de-googled version of Android TV on some devices, look up LineageOS’ website.
This might be what you are looking for.
It is not uncommon to find “Wine wrappers” to actually work better than on Windows itself.
Definitely try “Read You”! It utilises Material You, has a sick UI and the dev is really nice. I think there are a lot of features, but I’ve just left almost everything on default.
I hate Windows, but this has never happened neither to me nor my friends. (Granted I only have like 3 friends who use it regularly)
All I can recommend is to delete all the fingerprints and just use the PIN at this point.
It should be the same fingerprint reader across the whole lineup, so I dont know what’s happened to yours. Mine works fine, not as fast as some ultrasonic counterparts, but I have no issue with that coming from iPhone Xs.
I get it, I have a similar situation, except since I came back to Android I have been nothing but happy.
I used to be into running custom stuff on Android before my switch to an iPhone. And I, too, have found it frustrating to be forced to respect Apple’s rules.
Now, however, I have a Pixel 7 and it’s been a perfect experience so far. Running the stock OS non-rooted, it finally feels like my phone.
To put it simply, a “custom ROM” in this context means a modified version of Android. Many of these versions are based on AOSP (Android Open-Source Project), which is still maintained by Google, but is in fact open-source and doesn’t include Google services. Therefore, there is a possibility to use Android phones (given you have one with unlockable bootloader) without any Google apps or account.
Trust me, if you care about what’s happening to Google and YouTube right now, you won’t love what has been happening to Apple and it’s products for the last decade or so.
I own a Pixel 7 and although not ideal, it’s certainly better than most of the phones out there for me. The only downsides of daily driving a Pixel are battery drain and overheating. Granted, I live in a rather cold climate so I imagine it being not the most useful piece of tech for the folks near the equator…
It’s been confirmed that Pixel 10 will finally get a non-exynos chip, so perhaps it can indeed become the pinnacle of Android smartphones, who knows.
This scenario still requires Google to play their cards right, however, but there’s hope.
