DO NOT BUY FROM VERIZON if you want to unlock your bootloader. This also applies to Rogers in Canada and EE in the UK. They will force your bootloader to be locked for life, creating more e-waste. This sounds sketchy, needing to keep a phone on the same Android install to be unlocked. I would not advise you to buy this device, because I've never heard of this phenomenon. I can't say for sure, but it sounds like the seller may have installed malicious apps that will be removed if the device is factory reset, so the sellers wants you to not reset it in order to keep the malicious app on the system. This is just a guess, and this could be a new scummy thing created by carriers to keep their customers attached to them.

Do infections count as a loss? If I get an infection from one and die, does that mean I couldn't take them on? Also, is it one at a time or all of them coming at me.

Not a bad idea, especially considering how it's so easy to stream fights, it might as well be free.

How is it to you? Any notable issues? Also, are the Divest apps available in their F-droid repository pre-installed as system apps? Are the AOSP apps modified any? Thanks!

It supports more devices than GrapheneOS i.e. nonpixels. That is where I would totally use it.

It's very loosely based on LineageOS, which is where all it's device support comes from.

Would love to use UnifiedNLP

I'VE ISSUED A CORRECTION, SEE BELOW Unfortunately, UnifiedNLP is not supported. Quoting from their FAQ Page: Network (cell tower, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth beacon) based location providers such as Google Play Services, Qualcomm IZat, and microG/UnifiedNlp are not supported.

Sorry to break the news to you :(

EDIT: IT MIGHT BE SUPPORTED, see their Merged WiFi UnifiedLP Backend

I disagree, while the device codename itself is arbitrary, it's not arbitrary on the download page. It's common to identify devices by codename when naming custom roms.

Could you mean by device codename?

I'd assume we can

Parents don't know or care much about their school domain's IT sadly

Yeah... to my knowledge it's the same as a "normal" UEFI system, but instead of pressing esc or f12 you hold the alt or option key on startup. Then select your USB, and boot. I'd strongly advise you test everything before installing.

This depends on which iMac it is. If it's an Intel iMac, it is slightly easier, and if it's an Apple Silicon iMac, it will be a bit more difficult. If it's a Silicon, you'd need to use Asahi Linux, or have varying support. If it's Intel, I'm pretty sure it's similiar to installing on a PC, but can't say for sure. I'll look into it more

yes but it's not native in windows... then again fat and ntfs isn't native to linux either.
