I've been using Graphene for a few weeks now. I'm really happy with it. That said, I'm a pretty minimal smartphone user. I don't use NFC or any AI or Assistant features.

My only hiccup was my banking app didn't work at first. Luckily their documentation is informative and easy to read. This is a common problem with a simple solution... You just need to change a toggle in the app control setting.

Installation is super easy if you use their web installer - just read through the procedure first, follow it exactly, and be patient. There are a few places where you think it's done, but if you interrupt it, the install can go sideways.

It's also easy to revert back to stock if you want to. And it doesn't void your warranty - I just RMAd my pixel 8 after it developed the pink stripe syndrome.

I came here to say pretty much the same thing, but found your post instead. I just made the jump this week. I'm running a Legion 5 Pro with 2 SSD's, so I left Win11 on its drive and installed Mint on the other. They seem to be playing well together - no conflicts so far.

I'm pumped on how simple it actually was! I wish I'd have done it sooner...MS has been really irritating me lately so I finally went for it. Loving it so far!

Brujones ,

This is spot on. A family member of mine is a high school teacher and faces everything you laid out. I'd add the seemingly constant threats of lawsuits and violence to further illustrate the untenable atmosphere.

Exercise. Exactly how is not important. What matters is just being consistent. Eventually it becomes a habit that will grow with you.

If it's difficult or frustrating, you're probably trying too hard. Ease up next time. If it feels like a chore, you're not doing the right activity for you. It should be enjoyable.

This was key for me. I spent way too much time working way too hard, like 9 out of 10 exertion. I dreaded just getting started. I've now found that I can make better gains working in the 5 to 7 range, and I look forward to my workouts.

Brujones ,

Certainly! Just do something. Consistency matters. The nature of activity you choose is insignificant when you consider doing something, vs. doing nothing.
