Does anyone know how /e/os compares to graphene os for privacy? I am thinking of getting a murena fairphone which comes with /e/os but supports custom OSs and am leaning towards graphene, but don’t know much about e.
Isn’t graphene exclusive to pixel phones? (Phones by google)
Graphene do not support fairphone, but you can use calyxos, which supports fairphone (with verified boot?), and it is more up to date.
In general, I think calyx is probably more up-to-date and secure, with vanilla android experience. /e/ has its own unique athetics, and a SSO cloud service powered by nextcloud (last time I checked, nextcloud dont have good E2EE support, so I personally avoid putting my stuff on a nextcloud server hosted by others. But it is your choice)
Yeah, looking at their (e) marketing they seem to have a lot of cloud stuff which makes me trust it less. I will probably go with calyx.
I personally use calyx os and am pretty happy with it, they have a fairphone build
Bit outside of the scope of your question, but CalyxOS is a graphene-like android distro but for more devices.
Check DivestOS, it uses a lot of things from GrapheneOS + they have crrated their own security tools and applications.
