I thought this post was a great idea, so decided to copy it! This is my Pixel 8 Pro with GrapheneOS, some highlights are:

Most apps installed via Obtainium, except for banking apps etc that have to come from Google Play
Setter search bar
Quik SMS app
Pipepipe for watching Youtube
Lawnchair launcher
FairEmail email app
Dailer, Contacts, Calendar from Fossify

The AOSP is based on a modified version of the Linux kernel, so it is a Linux in that sense, but using it is quite different from using more traditional GNU/Linux distributions.

From what I take from the OSes listed in the sidebar of this community, this place is intended for linux-based phones which are not Android. There are already communities which are focused on Android/GrapheneOS/LineageOS, so it'd be fairer for this one to focus on the rest.
