      By in large there is no difference to notice, riiiiight up till you get to invisible google integrations. A lot of people wont notice stuff like this, but android auto relys on google servers and big G managed to break microG for a couple days and we cannot cast to our Chromecast (ever :( )

        Is that related to Google bricking (and now releasing a patch) the older Chromecasts? Or is this a separate issue?

          Separate. Not entirely sure how it works but another user in thread brought it up, sec…

          Skarn: Actually, no. e/OS includes MicroG, so even most app requiring Google services work just fine. What really doesnt’t work is Casting videos to a Chromecast, and anything requiting Play Integrity certification like Revolut.

          Thought he provided more info, but yeah. Chromecast just does not function cause its basically in google walled garden.
