There was a thread yesterday where most people were choosing arch for their server, I didn’t get it either. Like you, I’d much rather Debian or something else with smoother updates.

cough Linux Mint cough

Wat. I didn’t say nuttin’.

Sounds like a developer who’s pissed they had to make this hack in the first place, not proud of it, and not the way they’d like to solve the problem. But the external factors they can’t control keep putting up road blocks, so this hack was all they could come up with to temporarily solve the issue for themselves.

I’m not sure I would agree for arch if the OP wants low maintenance. I’ve never run it myself, but the way I’ve heard arch described is the further you go without regular updates the more likely you are to have a problem when you do update.

I can confirm the xdrip app works on grapheneOS, currently use it on a pixel 8a

Yo, from one type 1 to another, get yourself some xdrip to replace the dexcom app, its miles ahead and more configurable.

And depending on which omnipod you got, and how technical you are, check out AndroidAPS if you want an open source closed-loop solution.

If you got the omnipod dash you can use it directly with AndroidAPS via Bluetooth.

I use both of these with dexcom G6 and an accu-chek Bluetooth insulin pump, and its amazing vs the commercial solutions.
