@gcvsa @neil as I see it, GrapheneOS has a fatal flaw in that it only runs on Google Pixel phones. It only exists as long as Google allows it.
The same problem, although less severe, exists for all other Android variants also. Google makes Android, Google makes the decisions about what goes in future versions and so on.
A better option in my opinion is GNU-like #MobileLinux where the focus is to benefit the user, not Google et al. -- see @linmob and things like #pureos #mobian #postmarketos
@eliasr @neil @linmob I agree that a truly open source OS would be best; however, we have to work with what hardware manufacturers give us, unless someone is going to create a truly open hardware reference platform that’s profitable for manufacturers to adopt. If I buy a Pixel 9a today, I can be reasonably sure that I will have a device that will work and run Graphene OS for the next 4 years.
I can tell you that I am absolutely not interested in buying an iPhone 16e, after 18 years of iPhones.
