Phones, to just give one example, at least have fine-grained run-time permission controls while on Linux apps can just access anything the user can, except if you use something like Flatpak which gives you sandboxing…
That's not at all what Google announced. It has nothing to do with devices. It has to do with OSes, most notably OSes certified by Google, which GrapheneOS isn't. Also, it will be possible to bypass it even on certified…
This is a production grade OS, it's made by professionals, it's not hobbyist. It keeps up with updates of upstream Android and Linux kernel. It has a ton of good security and privacy features.
ChromeOS (most secure OS), MacOS (most secure firmware and still much more secure OS compared to non-ChromeOS competitors)
What do you think the major practical downsides are? Maybe you are not aware of how many things perfectly work or how easy some workaround are, so I am wondering.
It works but you need to install the Google Fi app from the Google Play Store.
That's not at all a similar approach so it doesn't quality as "if anyone wants *this*). The GrapheneOS feature pretends the network is down and local host is also inaccessible. This is good for compatability (apps…
Leaving USB dubbing enabled just exposes a lot of attack surface. And if you use USB debugging you are placing a lot of trust in the computer you are connecting to. You don't need USB debugging to reflash GrapheneOS or…
It doesn't make it more possible to irreversibly brick your phone. Even if you set it to the most strict setting the port still works when you are in the bootloader and recovery modes. See…

You can perfectly fine use it without, many people do. If you can tell us what issues you exactly bump into when trying to use the phone without Play, feel free to share, we might be able to suggest you some apps or…

Regarding location, please see my comment higher in the thread about the location rerouting through GrapheneOS. Also, it's not a better option to use MicroG. MicroG is in most OSes where it's bundled running priviliged…
Communication between apps using IPC happens on mutual consent and is explicit. You can't just throw data to Play Services and expect it to accept it and process it well, that's not how it works. Communication via IPC…

The founder of /e/OS regularly comments on posts about GrapheneOS on social media, almost always unsubstantive and of a low level.
There are some problems with this, often if a microSD card is used the storage on that SD card isn't encrypted because of the portability goal of it. It would be a bad fit for the project. As per the headphone jack, the…
They for sure control the direction of the development but it's not really that problematic given that things downstream projects take issue with can just be removed from the source and things they want can be added.
If your criterium for choosing an OS is tinkering and hackability freedom to do modify almost anything to your liking (even if it will compeltely break your system or poke extra security holes in), then desktop Linux…
It's more common in banking apps than in other apps to implement Play Integrity but it's cetainly not "most banks" that do it. It's still only a small subset. Sucks of course if it's your bank.
GrapheneOS distrusts the network. Connections use HTTPS and the integrity of important things like updates is also verified via signatures.
