I tried contacting them and they agreed to sell me one but they never sent me the links so I can pay and it takes 2 weeks to get any responses.

I'm having hopes that the Motorola - GrapheneOS understanding may bring Graphene to a lot more devices than it supports right now, and that would be neat!

Not a good idea. Just because it's European doesn't mean it's good. They're trying to sell their garbage phones by Eurowashing them.

People seem to forget that corporations are just as dangerous as fascist governments. European capitalists and American capitalists are the exact same and have the same motivations.

I can say from experience this is false. I've been able to use Resolve on my AMD/AMD setup.

I was really hoping the situation got better for it because I love its (albeit unstable, even on Windows) support of VST2 and VST3 plugins, along with its interface. But looks like I may need an alternative when switching.
