I have already a degoogled phone on /e/OS which works pretty fine but I have red an article which said /e/OS is not actually very safe because it has very old security patches compared to AOSP which has is up-to-date.
/e/OS is the product of Murena company which is promoting their own stuff for profit.
Of course GrafeneOS would be better for privacy but I have a fairphone so it is not an option.
What about CalyxOS ? It is more privacy oriented but now releases are paused. Do you think I should install existing build of CalyxOS for FP5 or install LineageOS and find a good DNS/VPN to block ads and trackers. This is a tool I like on e/OS/ to have a view on blocked trackers.
What alternative would you advice on AOSP ?
i’m currently on the same boat, fp5 with murena’s OS. i believe we read the same article and i also read graphene OS’s posts on mastodon about murena and it’s founder.
im thinking about switching to Lineage sometime soon(?) and do heavy customization there. I don’t really use murena’s features (i hate the launcher but i knew i would before installing) and i’m not finding anything useful for me on /e/OS.
from september to january/february i was running ubuntu touch, which was fun, haven’t checked back on the project for quite some time (i had to do some scary stuff to come back to android tho)
didn’t the developer of calyx os harass people from the graphene os project?
i’m honestly thinking about getting a feature phone…
There might be also iodé OS and divestOS based on AOSP which would be interesting options waiting for CalyxOS to be back.
I already tried Ubuntu Touch bit it didn’t look nice, I would like to try PostMarketOS but it’s not yet completely functional…
And I definitely don’t want to buy another phone right now to install grapheneOS
Right now i am propably going from /e/ to iodéOS
I think this is the good thing to do
Done. Wow that was chill.
