Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer

  I’ve also been using it for like 2 years but I really want the hardware of something like the Fairphone. A fairphone or something similar with Graphene would be amazing

    The Graphene OS people have always been talking about how they eventually intend to develop their own hardware. So, possibly they will make something good eventually.

      Not develop their own hardware, but contract an established manufacturer to do it for them. Which is good, they have no business doing hardware!

      Would be sick. If they also make it open enough to try out mobile Linux, I’d totally buy it and try to transition (esp. if it can dual boot).

    You can technically put GrapheneOS on a Fairphone, but it’s not officially supported.

    Long term, the GOS team is looking to branch off from their reliance on Pixels.

  Well you still bought a Google phone

    True, with the intention of installing Graphene OS on it. No other options.

      Strange that google is the only option for the only “secure” operating system.
      Hey, do you know what is Ring Level minus One ?

        Hey, do you know what is Ring Level minus One ?

        I know you’re only trolling here and I’m feeding into it, but you nerd sniped me just right to explain why your question is stupid on multiple fronts.

        First of all, “Ring -1” is the hypervisor, at least on virtualization-capable devices (which modern Pixels are), and the hypervisor will be Linux’s KVM in this case, which is open source and compiled by the Graphene team as part of the kernel from source.

        Secondly, Arm (which is the architecture basically all phone chips use, including Pixels) has a slightly different model of security, where apps are Exception Level 0, the OS is EL1, the hypervisor is EL2, and the “secure monitor” (or management firmware) is EL3 (and is probably what you were trying to refer to).

        So yeah, I don’t think you know what “Ring -1” is. At least not enough to warrant a snarky comment.
