From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How is the camera in GOS? I have pixel 8a.
I have the same model, the GOS camera pretty much uses the same basic features that the Pixel Camera uses, but when I checked their page for more info, apparently GOS Pixels only support night mode, you lose HDR, Face Retouch, Portrait, etc. My friends often have me take group pics and think my photos look good, so I wouldn't sweat it, but you could always download pixel camera and restrict wifi access.
Thanks for reply. Camera is the only issue for me.
So you are saying gos camera is already good enough but I can download "pixel camera" app to get all the features of stock pixel camera? Including magic eraser, unblur etc?
Btw, I get your suggestion on disabling WiFi. I'd like to do that for some apps in stock as well. But there seems to be option only to disabled mobile data usage, not WiFi. Does GOS give me option to disable any internet access for any app? Help would be appreciated 👍
You can get them off Aurora Store if you don't want to install Google Services.
Yes, GOS adds the ability to completely disable network access to apps.
For magic eraser, that's a separate app from Google.
Pixel Camera does night mode, editing tools are in Google Photos
Thanks a bunch. Guess my this weekend is now a fun pack.
