LineageOS supports much more devices. It’s what I personally use. It’s security very much outclassed by that of GrapheneOS. However, to be honest I don’t care all that much. I’m not a journalist or targeted person. And I, personally, like to root and “pimp out” my device with kernel mods and the like. While all this CAN be done on GrapheneOS, it sort of defeats the purpose of having GrapheneOS. It’s supposed to be a secure, locked-down fortress.
In short, if you want a super secure, de-Googled device, then GrapheneOS. But if you want a Googled device you can do a bit more with, and really make yours in every way, then LineageOS.
I agree with all this and will add that, even though what GrapheneOS team is doing is very admirable, the very fact that LOS (and automatically Lineage4microg) runs on hundreds of devices, makes the latter way more useful to a LOT of people (meaning a lot less throwaway tech too), plus not tieing you down to a single hw vendor!
Heck, even an old enough Pixel phone that programmatically loses Graphene’s support, is still almost garanteed support from LOS for many years
In my mind LOS is 95% of the way there, microg 97%, GOS 99%? As far as android goes, they’re all great
This is why I kind of hate ARM. Amd, why on the laptop end, i have no inrention of awitching to ARM anytime soon. The inability of these SOCs to use a generic kernel is just infuriating.
Hi people, so weird but if anyone’s reading this, I thought there was only one comment on this post, the one by @nomadjoanne, turns out there were actually way more from two months ago, but they’re invisible from my instance (sh.itjust.works)
How could I see this one (from a lemmy.world user) but not others by users of the same instance? Anyone know of a possible explanation? Ty
Similar happened to me and my OP a few months ago. Decided to buy/try a refurbished OP9 from Iode with their version of LOS pre installed. Very happy so far
Funny, not an hour ago I bought a 10 Pro - my OP5 (cheeseburger) is still going strong and rocking Android 14 - but because it’s rooted there are critical apps I can no longer run 😭
That is to say: I’m definitely sticking with OnePlus.
No. If you go into devices you can see the one that are supported. It’s probably referring to the first version. I have not watched the speck of that phone but I managed to get a used 8T in good conditions at around 200~250.
sorry I don’t have an answer to your question, but can I ask you why are you not happy with your pixel? I’m about to buy a new smartphone and I’m considering a pixel
There is a couple reasons, I am not a huge fan of the shape, meaning I would rather have a smaller screen, but thicker phone to allow for a bigger battery. Pixel 4 screen size was perfect in my opinion. There is also something about the square corners I don’t really like, can’t really put my finger on it, but again the Pixel 4 was great. I only upgraded because the battery was wearing out. Also with the 6a, not a great camera. Not any better than the 4. I would recommend trying Pixel 7 or waiting for the 8.
Check out Llama cpp sometime, it’s foss and you can run it without too crazy system requirements. There are different sets of parameters you can use for it, I think the 13 billion parameters set only uses 8 gigs of ram and the 25b parameter set uses 16gb. Definitely nowhere near as good as gpt, but still fun and hopefully will improve in the future.
I don’t know about the details, but afaik LineageOS is focused on providing (outdated) devices with up-to-date software, with privacy and security playing a minor role, while GrapheneOS is focused on privacy and security, with no longterm (3 years +) support/updates.
