Is it practically to use Graphene OS in Germany? (yes)

TGOS

TWIMC you can use Graphene OS in Germany like normal.
Some examples

You can download Whatsapp from homepage and use it without any permission/ you can make multiple restrictions
Free girokonto+ mastercard + App works on GrapheneOS - C24 Bank
Official Ausweis-App from github works 100%
E-Rezept App from germatik from github as well
Telegram (X) from github
Warnwetter from Homepage

To give a quick glimpse of it. So you can manage your SW free and securely on your phone with just that given permission that you are okay with. You could use a second profile to install Google Play Store - Apps to and your main clean with unbundled apps

Installation of GrapheneOS is really simple and a nobrainer and close to every app is still possible to install to it if that desire should arise.

Try it out.

The reason to use such depends not to seldom on convenient matters,what I've seen. I mean the proper german netizen got nothing to hide right? So thats not the only reason
You have to convince them in their fields.
Topics what I see arise: I have to use NFC whithout real need. How can I use whatsapp?! How can I use App XYZ (you name it, some shady big player Apps)
I doubt someone can hide from trojans while using a phone and installing anything on it. I heard there are people using their GOS rocksolid like a dumbphone & anything but don't think thats the usual case

With that said, it is still not straightforward to run it in extremely private manner, pretty much depending on additional third party app requirements of every user.
