minus-squarew3ird_sloth@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26arrow-down1·1 year agoGraphene OS is working well for me and installation was pretty straightforward. As people have said, though, it needs access to the bootloader.
minus-squareOnomatopoeia@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up23·1 year agoAnd a Pixel - the only device it currently runs on (not a criticism, it’s because Pixel is the only device with a TPM). Lineage runs on a lot more phones. It’s nit as secure as Graphene, but arguably more secure than what a phone ships with.
minus-squarew3ird_sloth@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoYep. Unfortunately, Graphene requires further investment in google products. Buy used/refurbished! Or go with Lineage.

minus-squarekalpol@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoI’d say its as secure but not as private as Graphene.
minus-square「黃家駒 Wong Ka Kui」(old account, migrated to Piefed)@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoI think you are mixing up the two terms. Lineage OS is way less secure than Graphene OS. Lineage OS doesn’t even officially support Re-Locking of bootloader under custom keys, so it could be easily tampered with, and they also lack all the hardening that Graphene OS have.
