Yes because every smartphone is a Pixel, apparently

Every smart person will have one with GrapheneOS installed

Ok, can you be smart somewhere else?

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

These comments where a bit selfish but GrapheneOS really is worlds ahead of LineageOS.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That might very well be, but their target audience is tiny, since they refuse to support anything but Pixel phones

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Which sucks, because their features would also make other devices more secure. But at the same time they would

  • need substantially more resources (I think supporting Google phones is really easy, as they get full security patches for everything)
  • need to lower their security level a ton

No device needs even their basic requirements which are not even that high.

And even then the said points would be a problem

@Pantherina they could simply support phones with stock Android and there will probably be less work to do than supporting the broad range of devices that Lineage has.
