Lineage OS is a shitshow when it comes to privacy and security
(no locked bootloader, using Google DNS by default)
From what I understand, GrapheneOS has the goals of being the best of the best when it comes to Android security.
There is and always will be CalyxOS or DivestOS for a wider range of devices (both are still much better than the likes of LineageOS and Pixelexperience)
It is in fact not a shitshow. Stop feeding fear. There are real potential concerns but Lineage OS does a great job of being a middle ground that allows for lots of tweaks and customization
this is an article from (imo) one of the best privacy/security tech-blogs out there
it’s in German, but you can probably run it through Firefox local translate

Yes it is. https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/android.html#lineageos

It is completely subjective and depends on your threat model
Don’t reply to him. He’s just another marketing agent for google trying to paint other ROMs as inferior. All an elaborate marketing strategy for selling phones.
I literally mentioned Calyx and Divest OS as alternatives which support non-google devices
also how is buying a used Pixel and degoogling it to the max with GrapheneOS (with reasonable compromises like optional sandboxed GMS) helping Google?
Didn’t know that cutting their mal-/spyware out, and trying to avoid them and their services wherever possible actually helped them, silly me 🤷♀️
(I assume this to be the standard way for most ppl and plan on doing that as well once my current Huawei phone breaks)
please learn to read before insulting other ppl with your less-than-a-day-old account lol
My man, Lineage OS isn’t google. All I’m saying is that Graphene isn’t the only option.
Clarification: I was trying to reference the Subway meme
Clearly a woman. “My lady” would’ve been more appropriate. Please don’t be rude
Sorry I was referencing the subway meme
