I won't be silent to the obvious honeypotting and mob tactics to silence people around here.

Apparently I'm a downvote bot, a honeypot and member of a mob. My life is much more exciting than I realized!

Your repeated unsubstantiated claims about GrapheneOS just don't ring true with my experience as a user across multiple devices for years. It is an excellent AOSP fork, and has numerous security and privacy enhancements. Every time I've asked you to explain your position, you fall back on, "do your own research." I've done plenty and it's why I switched to GrapheneOS and remain on it.

LineageOS is great for its purpose: supporting a long tail of legacy devices. But as a result it is less secure than stock AOSP. Switching a recent Pixel from GrapheneOS to LineageOS is a baffling proposal for all but the tiniest of edge cases.


Then don't be. Go email the mods.

> Lest alone to use a distro with opaque financing sources that fully endorses government developed/sponsored platforms such as Signal and Tor.

So you're against Signal, Tor, and Graphene, and suggest to instead use.. Lineage?

Don't get me wrong, I love Lineage, it was my first custom ROM, but this seems a little tinfoil


It's inaccurate that GrapheneOS fully endorses Signal and Tor. The GrapheneOS founder was blocked by Moxie (when they were still leading the project) for criticising their approach. They have also warned countless times about the limitations and weaknesses of Tor.

What is your suggestion then, genius?

> Please consider saner options such as LineageOS or Replicant which support dozens and dozens of different device types.
