Using Graphene, tempted by Lineage.
never seen nor expected to see this trajectory -- what's making lineage tempting?
Lineage OS is the ultimate deGoogle; I'm not comfortable with android at all given the influence Google has over its development.
LineageOS also can run on more phones; current Graphene ONLY runs on Pixels, soon to run on Motorola, but the Graphene hw requirements are HEAVY--only flagship phones have what Graphene requires, and I'm poor.
LineageOS is less secure, though, so I'd be sacrificing that.
my antipathy towards google greatly outweights my thread model so i prioritize degoogling over security and it also made me wait for motorola's phone instead of buying any pixel today.
now knowing that motorola has graphene slated for its ultra high end folding phones next makes me question my decisions, so this is intriguing AF and i've never heard anyone say it before -- what does it mean to you?
Oh, looks like I was confused. I thought LineageOS was a Linux based system, but it's still Android so what I said doesn't make a ton of sense... but my next attempt at my next phone will be some Linux OS so I can completely get off android. But if I have to stay within the Android ecosystem for whatever reason and don't have the money for a Pixel (or fucking definitely not a fold), I'll probably try Lineage.
All of the videos/reviews seem to suggest that hardware support is even more limited than graphene.
