Don’t use Calyx: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm

Ask the GrapheneOS Discord/Matrix. They’ll tell you the exact same thing.

The fact is there’s no privacy without security and the Librem doesn’t have the latter.

The sensor is built into the display.

I won’t stop you from using the Librem but at the end of the day a false sense of security is more damaging than anything else. I can with 100% certainty assure you that even your average Samsung phone has better security than the Librem. A phone with absolute abbysmal and ancient hardware that Purism sells for 10-20 times the cost of an equivalently powerful Android phone from AliExpress. Heck, even the PinePhone (which also runs Linux) sells for like $200 and has better hardware. Purism is a scam company. I know you don’t want to hear this but it’s the truth.

You set up the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 8 like any other Android phone. Either during first setup or by going into your security settings.

I use the fingerprint sensor. Don’t get a Librem, it’s a scam and security on it is a disaster. Stick with GrapheneOS. Heck, stock is more secure than the Librem, believe it or not. I wouldn’t touch that thing with a 10ft pole.

As someone who uses both Android and iOS, I appreciate my Pixel 8 Pro running GrapheneOS (a custom version of Android) more and more.

You wouldn’t download a car?

Fedora’s my favorite. It’s also the most secure without going straight to QubesOS, which is not beginner friendly.

GrapheneOS only works on Pixels. Also, you can’t install anything other than iOS on an iPhone.

How’s the performance per watt?

Oh wait. Nevermind, Intel sucks anyway. If it’s not performance issues, it’s hardware exploits. Not to mention Intel’s support for genocide in Gaza.

Gamers Nexus just released a review of Intel’s brand new 14th gen CPUs. You might wanna check that out Greg before loosing an entire paycheck on a bad bet. (That’s a reference to the video)

Even if Intel wasn’t morally bankrupt, I still wouldn’t buy them cause their CPUs have terrible performance/price, terrible performance/watt and are plagued with tons of security issues. The only reason Intel is still able to sell them is because they bribe manufacturers to exclusively use Intel and because the average person doesn’t know any better.

Intel being plagued with massive hardware exploits? Check.

Intel having terrible performance per watt? Check.

Intel bribing manufacturers to exclusively use Intel? Check.

Intel cooperating with a genocidal fascist regime? Check.

Yeah, I don’t recommend AMD and Apple Silicon because I’m an AMD or Apple fan but because Intel is the most god awful option available.

Tolerance for intolerance leads to intolerance. If you call that authoritarian, be my guest.

Make it illegal for politics to be based around religion or ethnicity. Also, I’d make capitalism illegal just like nazism.

Killing insects isn’t murder. It’s pest control.

I’m fine with that.

Keep in mind that the RF values will be completely different if you use other encoders like H.265 or even H.264 with a hardware acceleration encoder. For 1080p, 20-22 is indeed appropriate but lower res like 480p will require a lower RF like 16-18 for the same quality. Meanwhile 4K will be fine with 24. Again, assuming you use the x264 encoder which is not hardware accelerated. For best results, I’d really recommend playing around with the settings and see what works best for you.
