This is a weird advertisement, but I kind of want grapheneOS now.

Been on it for ~2 years and never going back, fuck Google, fuck the government.

I've also been using it for like 2 years but I really want the hardware of something like the Fairphone. A fairphone or something similar with Graphene would be amazing

The Graphene OS people have always been talking about how they eventually intend to develop their own hardware. So, possibly they will make something good eventually.

Well you still bought a Google phone

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

True, with the intention of installing Graphene OS on it. No other options.
