So, I’m looking to maybe possibly use a more secure OS for my phone, and I’m torn between these two. I’m mainly looking at Privacy for my main concern, though security never hurts obviously, and also app compatibility and ease of use. I’m also considering a Fairphone for my next phone down the line, and I’d probably have to go with /e/OS for that, so would it be worth it to just go with that now? Or change later?
I used e years ago, back when CyanogenMod was still strong and thriving, and I thoroughly enjoyed it (though it was largely incomplete). I’ve been using CalyxOS for several years now, because Pixel 4 XL was supported for at least another year and GrapheneOS ended support that year. I kept with CalyxOS, because it worked well, and my security posture doesn’t require NSA-level security (getting it that high, requires giving up some conveniences). Honestly, I recommend trying each one for a few weeks, then deciding which one to stick with.
