Testing GrapheneOS User Profile Limits

🎥 Video Link Links referenced for video https://grapheneos.org/releases#2024111700 Transcript Transcript Please excuse any grammatical errors. I used a tool to generate the transcript and haven’t had a chance to read through it yet. Today what I want to talk about is user profiles on GrapheneOS. There’s three questions I want to answer and that’s what’s the max user supported on a device with GrapheneOS, what’s the max running users you can have, and what happens when you reach those limits. As I was planning out this video I came across this change log which says raise maximum running users from the standard three to four for six gigabytes of memory, six for eight gigabytes, 10 for 12, etc. My primary device for the past few years has been a Pixel 6a and it currently still is. I always assumed the limit for everyone was three users at any given time running, but it’s actually dependent on the amount of memory your device has, so I was incorrect about that. So good to know. The device I’ll be using today in the demonstration is a Pixel eight Pro as you’ll see and that actually has 12 gigabytes of memory, so we will see these upper limits instead. ...

I used a tool to generate the transcript and haven’t had a chance to read through it yet. So I don’t typically like to make videos on topics like this. And what I’m talking about is situations where we don’t really have all the information yet. And so we don’t really have a conclusion. But seeing as this could affect someone’s choice to spend over $900 on a Google Pixel 11, I thought it was at least worth putting something out there. ...

So whenever there’s a new forum post about a new GrapheneOS version, there always seems to be some confusion as to why someone’s device has not received the new update yet. When they run a manual update check, it says their system is up to date, even though there should be a new version available. So today, I want to talk about how releases work and why you do not receive them as soon as they are announced. ...
