Ok, ok, ok... I've softened my strict rules of absolute digital minimalism a bit and allowed some additional apps on my Pixel 9.
Compared to the previous setup, I installed Aurora Store at short notice to get the following apps installed:
Firefox (instead of Fennec, because of faster security updates), FUTO Keyboard (because of swipe function, it types much faster!), Fossify Gallery (instead of the standard gallery), standard SMS app instead of QUIKSMS, Pixel Camera (much better image quality, but completely without permissions! ), Localsend (for sending photos and files back and forth between Pixel and PC), Mullvad VPN (catch me!), Proton Pass (changed all passwords to long, complicated ones) and as a visual gimmick: Breezy Weather (so that the home screen doesn't look so boring).
Judge me now.
@ralen No, I didn't know that! Thank you!
@ralen @unixviking OMG your Homescreen looks amazing! Are all app icons always compatible?
@realestninja @unixviking thats arcticons, there're lots of them. and if its not compatible, you can change to any other icon in the pack, thats lawnchair's (launcher) feature
