From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Linux on all my computers and GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel 6a with 99.8% FOSS applications. Maybe 96% FOSS softwares on my stationary computer and 100% on my laptops.

With GrapheneOS do you still get the same quality photos as you would with the stock OS?

I use Open Camera and the quality is very good. Especially the night mode! What you see with your eyes in a dark room with the TV on, that's what you will see in the photo. Not the same quality on the TV in the photo, of course, but very close.

Just a +1 for Open Camera - it's a great bit of software.

Indeed. Far the best camera for Android I've ever used. Kinda addicted to the timestamp/watermark/something, though, haha! Mighty good feature!
