#GrapheneOS
Yes because every smartphone is a Pixel, apparently
Every smart person will have one with GrapheneOS installed
Ok, can you be smart somewhere else?
These comments where a bit selfish but GrapheneOS really is worlds ahead of LineageOS.
That might very well be, but their target audience is tiny, since they refuse to support anything but Pixel phones
Which sucks, because their features would also make other devices more secure. But at the same time they would
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.

@Pantherina thanks!
They’re different projects with different goals. Graphene is more private & secure if that’s the thing that matters to you. Lineage supports far more devices
So.... Grapehene is better but lineage is sopported on more devices?
Graphene prioritizes security above everything else. This means that it does thinks like ship proprietary software if they think it will boost security. Lineage os is designed to be a Linux distribution for phones and is focused on providing a system that is all free software (excluding firmware). It doesn't kill off support for devices and is designed to be tweaked and doesn't support bootloader relocking out of the box.
Again..... One is just better than the other...
If you are saying Lineage os is better I agree
Not quite
Thanks, since you're suggesting this, would you like to exchange your pixel for my cheap xiaomi?
I would suggest you get a pixel, why get a cheap xiaomi in the first place?
Coz I have no money? Isn't it obvious?
Can I get grapheneos in my phone??? Or are you going to suggest another unrelated crap?
