    I’ve criticized aspects on GrapheneOS before & have gotten well thought out & reasonable reasons why they made the decisions they do. They took the time to address my concerns respectfully & even linked independent research that supported their position.

    Also I am not an active member of the GrapheneOS community, just an enjoyer of the project. So unless you’ve actually joined their community & tried engaging with them respectfully, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Every single interaction I’ve had with them has been positive. Anytime I’ve looked in their chat rooms I see people helping out new users & answering questions I imagine have been asked hundreds of times.

    Stop listening to what other people say, just go & see for yourself.

      I’m speaking from experience. Read my other responses to understand that it’s not the technical feedback or whatever that I have trouble with. The GrapheneOS community inserts itself into every discussion about ROMs possible.

      Someone brings up LineageOS for a OnePlus phone? Get a pixel and flash GrapheneOS. Someone brings up CalyxOS for a no pixel phone? Buy a pixel and flash GrapheneOS! So you bought a Volla phone with VollaOS? Wrong! You should’ve given Google your money for the most secure phone in the planet and flashed GrapheneOS! Oh, you don’t have enough money for a new phone? Stop being poor and sell your assets because the TLAs are after you and your life is worthless without a Pixel and GrapheneOS! You think the pyramid of needs starts with food and physical safety? Guess what! That’d wrong again, because it starts with digital safety and that means GrapheneOS!

      It feels even worse than the damn “Arch BTW” people, because we know it’s a goddamn meme but the GrapheneOS people are serious. It’s as if GrapheneOS is a status symbol that makes them levitate above the rest of us lowly LineageOS, CalyxOS, eOS, VollaOS, custom ROM plebs. As if GrapheneOS is the final stage of enlightenment that Buddha reached before he flashed his Pixel and ascended.

      That’s what the OP was talking about and I am too.
