I’m looking to get a custom ROM that has good compatibility with my device. Would you recommend /e/? I couldn’t find a tutorial on how to install it with Linux but I don’t think it should be that hard to figure out.

    From the looks of it GrapheneOS still seems like the beer choice by far…

        I recently picked up a pixel 7a on ebay. $200 for like new condition. Probably the current sweet spot for value and remaining years of support.

        $150 for a refurb Unlocked Pixel 6 from eBay. That’s both cheaper, more ecologically friendly, and better for your privacy than /e/ can ever hope for.

      if you got pixel and don’t like GOS team, Calyx OS is a decent alternative also, you can lock bootloader and get most apps to work with microg

        GOS team are some elitist jerks, sure, but what they make works well. And I respect the fuck out of Calyx for being committed to making something like MicroG work.

        GOS or Calyx, either is gonna be miles better than /e/. /e/ is running their ‘native IP scrambler’ on a two-year old commit of TOR. Fuck everything about that.
