    Haven’t watched the video, but I’ve had interactions with Daniel Micay and… Not exactly pleasant. Very sure of having the one true way™ and unwilling to consider people may have slightly different threat models. Got accused of being an astroturfer for CalyxOS instead (Have never used it, my arguments aimed at Puri.sm-style hardware switches). Am still using Graphene, because it comes closest to my needs, but the whole thing sure left a bad taste in my mouth (and I steadfastly abstain from conversations where Micay is likely to get involved). But then, I’ve similar experiences with OpenBSD, Exherbo Linux, and pulseaudio and systemd. There is a type of developer that manages to force their vision on a project with singular zeal, but is very unpleasant to even slightly challenge. Your only real choice is to subscribe to that vision to a potentially uncomfortable degree, or to dismiss the project.

        NoGoolag chat Telegram group, last I checked, consisted of 3300 people. And they shitpost homophobic, racist and CCP Pooh stickers and memes all day. Go figure the rest.

    I use it because it’s open source, degoogled, and hardened. I don’t know about the accusations against the founder but I’m not going to downgrade my security over it.

          I think the reason that Graphene OS only uses Google Pixels is because they offer the most hardware security out of any phone. To be honest I don’t think its too much of an issue because obviously installing Graphene OS onto the phone will completely degoogle the device.
