GrapheneOS unaffected - > more enthusiasts switch to it - > more funding - > better UX - > more interest, more adoption from less tech savvy people, possible professional grapheneOS installation services (think a guy helping gam gam install windows for a bit of cash, to start)
And so begins the beautiful cycle of mainstream adoption of something great
Or at least that’s what I tell myself when the current tech world scares me at night
No, I mean grapheneOS. From my findings you get pretty much everything that a normal android phone gets, except contactless payments because of the google and apple duopoly on that front.
You can set up multiple users / containers, separate out google bs from your own private life, etc, all pretty intuitively if I remember right.
I’ve only heard of LineageOS here and there. I’m fully unfamiliar with that one
Graphene, at least in its current state, is dependent on Google continuing to allow Pixel phone bootloader’s to be unlocked and relocked after a new OS is installed, and is dependent on Google for receiving timely upstream security update patches as well. Given Google’s current direction my guess is that both these things might be threatened in the future.
Yeah, but those few million users are not global-market-relevant.
It’s still good.

Are you mistaking GrapheneOS with LineageOS? GrapheneOS is for security enthusiasts, too inconvenient and limited to devices for me.

a dream for the FOSS, which i hope becomes real
