Not for Linux. I am using Linux on my desktop.
That's a nice idea, but I'm hesitant to use automatic installation scripts like this, even if I review them carefully. I prefer manual steps – downloading the file, placing it in the correct directory. Also, I use…
I wish to use Graphene OS, but I can't force myself to buy a Pixel Phone, I don't like the design.
