I’m looking to get a custom ROM that has good compatibility with my device. Would you recommend /e/? I couldn’t find a tutorial on how to install it with Linux but I don’t think it should be that hard to figure out.

Hard truth: outside of GrapheneOS there is very little security and privacy gains from a custom Android OS over stock.
From best to worst:
Graphene OS
iOS
Stock Android / non rooted custom OS
Branded stock android
Rooted phones of any type
EOL phones
It’s hard to compare the security of systems. Also how is IOS number2!? Theres a lot of research put into finding holes in hardware and software since they are so popular, also they have backdoors for the government baked in along their walled garden.
Speaking about privacy, there are alot of gains from passing from a closed source ROM to a open sourced one. Or even better to an open sourced phone running Linux(yes I know very few can daily drive them).
On security it’s complicated and depends on many factors.
root allows system-wide adblocking. thus more privacy, not less privacy
Root also adds massive attack surface which easily outweighs those benefits. Not to mention non rooted DNS solutions provide a similar benefit.
Security != Privacy
That’s idiotic. Your data being insecure is inherently not private.
They are two sides of the same coin.
Windows is rooted by design, and that’s completely fine by everyone and their dog
Lol nobody is calling windows secure or private. Nobody even mentioned it.
Companies literally pay thousands of dollars a year in hardware and enterprise software to make up for its deficiencies.
