Hello, making this post to get some honest, and technical opinions about GrapheneOS. Please do not be bother by this question. No drama here pls 🙏. I’ve heard that there is some of the google code into the “sandbox” feature. Say your opinion below! 👇👇
LineageOS is more degoogled than others like eOS?
Like the other reply said, Lineage doesn’t do a whole lot in terms of degoogling. I quite enjoy DivestOS, it’s a project that takes Lineage as a base and strips out as much Google and proprietary code as possible.
In fact, it’s so Google-free that neither sandboxed Play Services nor MicroG are officially supported, though the latter can still be installed and used just fine, though with a few drawbacks.
Same as Lineage, it runs on more devices, but certain features like bootloader relocking depend on the phone.
Microg has drawbacks?
Edit: sorry that’s a question. What are they?
Some stuff won’t work such as android auto
LineageOS actually seems to be getting less degoogled recently. They’re adding stuff for better Google apps support (that can be installed manually). But I believe it’s as degoogled as reasonable custom ROMs get. Not much advanced privacy/anonymization features though and no stuff like Play Integrity support obviously. It’s a ROM for these who don’t need gapps at all. And if you do, just buy a second hand device with the stock ROM and put your banking apps there. Play Integrity doesn’t work well on any custom ROMs now anyways.
EDIT: also EOS is EndeavourOS that is a Linux distro.
