The page says it captures game audio only by default. But you can switch it to all audio if UPI want to capture something like external voice chat.

I know GrapheneOS implenents Contact Scopes so you can choose which contacts an app can see.
Bridge doesn’t support the calendar yet from what I’ve heard.
You can get notifications in other profiles. However it’ll be a generic “Profile X has a notification”. Tapping it will swap profles, but not exactly seamless.
It’s not that it’s closed, it’s more that none of the exiting email protocols support a server which can’t read your email (as it’s all encrypted). They do offer Proton Bridge which you can run locally which will handle all the decryption and local mail clients can talk to that as the would any other mail server.
I don’t know off hand if it supports calendar syncing though.
Proton is not the same as a VM. It has direct access to your filesystem. It could delete your entire home directory if it wanted to.
Another vote for Immich. It’s a really nice experience on both the web and app.
Ah, so it isn’t just me. I had noticed this myself recently.
It’s mostly a power efficiency thing. Before push notifications were the norm, most apps used a polling method. They had the application send a request every X seconds asking “anything new”. There wasn’t coordination between apps, so even every app checked once every 30s, it likely wouldn’t be on the same 30s. This caused the device to wake up a lot and never let it switch into low power mode.
A push notifications system like FCM or UnifiedPush means only a single application needs to run in the background. It maintains a persistent connection to the push notification service and waits for a message. When it receives one it wakes up the relevant app and passes it the details.
The issue lies with Google’s FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) system, so it’s not something GrapheneOS can really fix. As far as I know FCM doesn’t offer a way to encrypt notification content. Some apps like Signal work around this by instead of sending the message content, they send a little “wake up” notification. This tells Signal on your phone to wake up and it goes and retrieves the new message.
If you don’t install Google Play Services, you won’t be impacted. But you’ll also not get notifications for most applications. There is an alternative push notification system called UnifiedPush which allows you to choose any server to handle your notifications (and even self host it). But it does require both the service and the app to support it, so it’s not very wide spread yet.
Which apps are you referring to? Google and Apple’s services have long been the default choice for notifications on mobile devices. Other options get killed off by battery optimization processes without special setup.
