This but unironically. I was going to try and use monero recently just to dip my toes in the proverbial crypto water, until I found out that I can’t buy anything with monero other than drugs.

this says “the Japanese overwhelmingly love immigrants. haha”

I agree that the UI for discord sucks shit, however my thinking is aligned with what another commenter said, its what people already know and are used to. Trying to make anything new will turn users off. I’m very open to being proven wrong about that assumption though. I’d love for a foss project to have better UI/UX than discord.

Discord is where people are at. You start with something else you’re asking for another Matrix or XMPP because people will not understand a new interface

start with a discord clone

make it e2ee

make it federated

i feel like it shouldnt be this hard, but I’m not the one developing matrix, nor XMPP, nor the 3rd smaller option you the reader is wanting me to list that I am unaware of

Yes, with a heavy grain of salt.

First- it seems like a huge pain in the ass to get your bootloader unlocked (a locked bootloader can not have custom ROMs installed) Relavent XDA thread

Second- None of the ROMs I listed officially support your device it appears. However, there are other ROMs available for the device. I can not speak to their reputability or trustability. XDA thread of various ROMs available for the device.

The only ROM I listed which can be used on your device is an unofficial LineageOS port.

A great place to look, ask, and get help is at the XDAForums for your device. They usually have helpful and friendly people who can help you as long as you read their previous relavent threads first.

If at some point you are looking to replace your current phone, a good place to look for recommendations is CalyxOS’ modern devices page. The reason I recommend using CalyxOS’ device page over something like Graphene’s is because in many parts of the world Google’s Pixel is not available. Calyx includes devices that are easier to get such as some Motorola’s, and other OEMs on a best-case basis.

What do you mean by webview? If you mean the entirety of webview then no ROMs do that AFAIK. android would be broken without it. If you mean replace Google’s webview with their own version, I’m pretty sure all the ROMs I listed there do it. I didnt fact check it though so feel free to prove me wrong

Your options are mostly UBTouch and PostmarketOS. Due to how PMOS is designed, it doesnt fully function on the phones it supports. UBTouch does work well due to the ability to use a driver compatibility layer with android IIRC, but you still have the issue of needing a phone that can support it. (I think the latest pixel UBTouch runs on is the 3?)

also, the security model of mobile linux is nowhere near what android is. Things that keep android secure like verified boot are not yet implemented on linux phone OSes AFAIK

root is a security risk on many security focused ROMs.

See the 4th reply in this GrapheneOS thread

and this from CalyxOS’s FAQ

If you can link the xposed module though I wouldnt mind making a feature request and asking for the module itself to be integrated into their forks.

or just start pooring support into PostMarket or UBTouch
