Hi,

A friend wants to degoogle his phone, so I suggested the OS I’m currently using. The one we can’t talk about… He wants a small/compact phone, so I suggested pixel 4a (not buying second hand though), but I’m afraid that planned obsolescence may kill the phone rather soon. What’s your opinion?

Cheers and thank you for your help,

          Do they all really? I know GrapheneOS does, and I think DivestOS even says “use my OS to stay as up to date as possible, but if you have a current/supported Pixel, use GrapheneOS instead for superior security.” But I don’t recall other OSes really going “we’re more secure than GrapheneOS and here’s why.”

          Hence the controversy! 🙂

          Also, Graphene tend to act superior about it and it pisses people off.

      I’m honestly not quite sure, I just know people are getting riled up when it’s mentioned.

            Can’t really remember right now. I think it was a thread on which phone to buy and people were talking about graphene os on pixels.

            Someone commented something along the lines of “m’lady” but with Daniel Micay’s name as a pun
