   Reading the #LineageOS 20 discussion thread on HN makes me want to try it out, but #Samsung device support is spotty, and the S22+ isn't supported yet.

   Now I regret not getting a #Google #Pixel... My phone is full of crapware made by Samsung, and all I want is a stock #Android UX with a few #Google apps I use daily: Maps, Translate, Chrome, Photos, Calendar...

     @benoit But I read in the HN comments that the lead developer of GrapheneOS doesn't believe in giving root to users?

     @codewiz if you get a pixel, lineageos don't make sense, go with GrapheneOS.

     @benoit I don't have root now, so I can live without for now....

     But, yeah, I think it's not unreasonable to demand the same level of control over our phones that we already enjoy with all the devices we purchased...

     @codewiz That's true.

     But, do you need to root your phone? I don't need root at all.

     @benoit The other question is: how do I transfer all the data to GrapheneOS or LineageOS?

     I suppose the process will involve wiping the data partition, and quite a few apps cannot restore their state from the cloud... they need a data transfer across devices.
