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.

    You can use DivestOS which pretty much it offers anything that can be found on GrapheneOS. Also, DivestOS supports relocking the bootloader to many devices

      I love the divest guy, but he is a one man show.

      Divest is lineageos plus patches.

      My personal recommendation for secure devices is: grapheneos, then calyxos, then divestos, then lineageos

      There are big differences between graphene and divest: sandboxed Google play for instance. For a detailed comparison see privacy guides https://www.privacyguides.org/en/android/#divestos

        Ι was talking about degoogled experience. DivestOS supports a lot of devices which is not a case with calyx and graphene.

        Divest is mich Mord than patches in Linaege. Please. Divest is far beyound Calyx in terms of privacy and security.

        My recommendation:

        • If you have (and I hope you don’t) a Pixel: Graphene
        • If you are able to restrict yourself and accept to have not the easiest experience: DivestOS
        • If you want an easy experience: /e/OS
        • If you want the OS with most supported devices but you don’t care about privacy: Lineage

        No need for Calyx, Iode and so on

          Can you explain where LineageOS is worse than Graphene in terms of privacy? Or give me a source for that? Cause I’d be interested in installing it.
