A manufacturer’s Android can have special privileges for their own apps, and almost will certainly have special privileges for Google’s apps.

Graphene by default wouldn’t give special privileges to any app, so that’s at least a plus.

It’s true that it would be locked down, but you at least have a couple more controls over how locked down compared to a manufacturer’s OS.

That’s odd, I’m on Android 14 and have andOTP installed.

BTRFS is stable for all RAID levels except for RAID 5 and 6 (because of the write hole). I’m using it with RAID 10.

To add to what the other person said, there are some Windows-only games even today that run better on Linux than on Windows (I don’t have examples off the top of my head.)

It depends on the place. There’s a grocery store I go to (in Seattle, WA) that has a $100 limit for mobile payments.

You mean the Linux kernel specifically? I think most people do regard it as a monolithic kernel, even if there are modules you can load and unload.

It’s a set of smaller tools that are developed in the same repository and all released together, all sharing some amount of code.

That basically makes it monolithic, even if there’s separate binaries that the user calls.

Second this. If you don’t need to go into the UEFI or do a full hardware reboot, and you’re running Linux, kexec will be much better for you.
