Alternative to GrapheneOS

Im considering buying a new phone and i don't really consider a Pixel. I really like Fairphones approach, with the self repairable stuff. Even though they don‘t have a headphone jack. But well… I can’t change it. I’ll definitely go with the adapter over wireless headphones.

But to my question: What private OSes are there? Fairphone sells FP4s with eOS, how is that? And does it work on the FP5? GrapheneOS only works on Google Pixels right?

  • I'm on CalyxOS, it works great. Locked bootloader, ability to block connection of devices when screen is locked (defeating cellebrite's method of choice), work profiles and firewalls etc.

  • If I had a Fairphone I'd use CalyxOS or DivestOS. They seem to be the best for privacy and security out of the OS that Fairphone supports.

  • Yeah Fairphones all are fair and whatnot until you find out their software isn’t fair and they don’t give a shit about managing security properly nor collaborating with others such as GrapheneOS.
