After one year, here's how my Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS is setup
Last year I wrote 30 Days In, My Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS about how my phone was setup. The entire setup was cumbersome, and I gave up on the multiple profiles. Well, one year later this is how I'm setup, and it's working very well for me.
