  • It depends on what you want out of your phone. I use Calyx because I like living a foss-as-much-as-possible lifestyle, and they’ve got some pretty cool networking features (sharing VPN over hotspot and across profiles) and I prefer to use MicroG over sandboxed play services. Muerena is kind of for people who want an iOS-like experience without the spying. Ive never actually tried iode myself. Lineage is kind of the base starting point. Its available for a lot more phones than Calyx and Graphene support (You can even install it on some Nintendo Switches!), but its not as Privacy hardened. UBTouch & Postmarket OS are for the brave souls who want to give linux mobile a go. I want to try it one day but I want to use KDE Plasma Mobile instead of Ubuntu Touch. PostmarketOS afaik is the furthest along mobile linux OS with KDE Plasma Mobile, but the phone I would want it on has broken audio drivers ATM so its a no go for me rn.

    Give them all a look though, look into threat modeling and what features you might want. You may find Graphene works just fine for you, you may find another project suits your needs a lot more. Its hard to really say one way or another! :P










  • I like CalyxOS for my threat profile, I recommend the OS for people who want to have more control over their personal data and how its shared.

    In order to share the VPN on non-CalyxOS android you’d have to root AFAIK, and rooting introduces a threat vector for bad actors to abuse if you’re Trying to avoid being hacked / being spied on (if you need to hide from the gov’t or people who abuse vulnerabilities)




  • Its not mentioned but I prefer Calyx. Its got better networking features (being able to share your VPN over hotspot and between profiles is a big one for me), and I prefer MicroG (FLOSS) over Sandboxed Play Services (Proprietary). + The calyx devs are generally just really pleasant to talk to. Calyx works on Pixels, Fairphones, a few Motos and sometimes other devices if they can have their bootloader relocked.

    I’m not sure exactly what this meme is trying to say. What I am extrapolating from it however is a personal question, where is Gen Z? I genuinely see less than 10 people who even look like they could be a part of Gen Z at every protest I go to. Its always older people. Where are the people who are in college and just graduated? Why aren’t they fighting for their own rights?
