I’m sorry but it’s true. Graphene OS sucks the big one… It’s absolutely janky when it comes to its Android app support, it’s UI is absolutely atrocious, and all around. It’s simply a wonky operating system.

Not only that but the whole premise of of making an operating system built only for Google pixel hardware on top of Android Open source project is just silly when it comes to the idea of “privacy”. That would be like trying to open up a gay nightclub in Qatar. Google could snap its fingers tomorrow and lock down the ability to unlock bootloaders.

What do you think? Am I wrong here guys?

    OK, fine… I’ll be honest…

    I have had good experiences with it. I have not had problems with apps. Most of my apps I get via Obtaininum. As for the UI, I think it is fine.

    I don’t think Google will be able to lock my Pixel’s bootloader, and, if they do, well it is already running the OS. So it shouldn’t be a problem for a while. If at some time GrapheneOS stops being supported I will find something else. I don’t need a guarantee of permanence to find it useful today.
