Haha, I can see how that can be frustrating, especially because it seems like GrapheneOS provides a lot of value for lots of people minus those two features. After buying a car with Android Auto I have never bought a car without it. OEM car integration usually is very lacking especially when it comes to navigation. I wish there were open source alternatives to android auto. Thank you for the respectful response :)

Thank you for the helpful links and the insight! Much appreciated! I see how the deep integration hardware integration of Android Auto makes it challenging to run it in a compatibility layer.

Before switching OS’s I need to know if it’s compatible with the features that I value. It’s okay if you don’t value the same features as I do, but there’s no reason to be both rude and provide no useful information at the same time.

You’re absolutely right that everything depicted in the image are things that are almost certain to occur to everyone. However, the difference between the two, as some other comments have already mentioned, is the frequency of which these symptoms occur causing it to be more debilitating than you would expect them to be.

I think it’s valuable to society as a whole to respect and be open to other people’s struggles when it comes to mental health, and your comment does not seem to acknowledge that but rather dismiss it.

This type of thinking and being quick to dismiss is natural because our human brains cannot interpret experiences others go through, especially with things that involve how they perceive and process information in the first place. But this is the main reason there are so many people that have untreated mental health issues BECAUSE of the fact that it’s really hard to differentiate a mental health issue from someone going through regular everyday life. And the inverse is also true where many people struggle don’t even know that they’re struggling because even they think it’s typical.

This, and Google Pay/Wallet would be the deciding factor for me

I’ll give it another go to see if things have changed over the years, thanks!

my guess is so google can use this data for analytics for their operating system since it collects OS version too

I’ve been trying to switch to Linux for the same reasons you mentioned. What OS are you dual booting with windows that you’ve been able to use as a daily driver?
