Curious what people think.
Do you think using the GrapheneOS operative system is useless if the user plans to/needs to install Play Store apps anyway?
I think I’m not alone in feeling this way, but sometimes I feel a sense of imposter syndrome because I’m not perfectly private and am dependent on some Play Store apps. This has caused me to question if the transition to GOS is meaningful at all.
Feel free to share your opinion. Cheers! …posted from my GrapheneOS Pixel.
Lineage OS doesn’t ship with Google proprietary code. There are ways to install GSF but that would turn it into Google Android.
It certainly doesn’t encourage as much proprietary software as Graphene os
I may have been incorrect, but I was pretty sure the deblobbing is why DivestOS doesn’t support some of Android’s features (along side the greater reason of security/privacy). Lineage, like any ROM, depends on binary blobs. DivestOS (and GOS) more thoroughly deblob than Lineage, which I think is a quite important metric when considering a ROM.
