I want to mainly use it for privacy over its “security”. I don’t know what makes everyone fine with running it on fucking google pixels. Is there some kind of “low security” version or something for other phones? I’m so tired of certain organizations infiltrating privacy communities and making people believe in improving “security” by voluntarily giving up on privacy and using even non free software like that insecurities blog and other people.

    Because fucking google pixels are the only devices that meet the GrapheneOS developer’s requirements.

    I agree that it’s disappointing, both because google has incentives to abuse their control of the hardware and because of the electronic waste created by devices that lose support after an arbitrary number of years.

    But that’s how it is, at least for now. In the meantime, there’s always LineageOS.

      Some devices can also use calyxos. I have used that also but still prefer graphene. Both teams to good work though.
