Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too
BurgerBaron@piefed.social 1 day agoA big thing is gOS not using JIT compiling. So, app updates are pretty slow but this kills a lot of malware exploits.

So if I were to choose graphene over eOS it would mainly be to be more protected from malware?

You would choose it for security hardening in general. E.g. it is harder for malware to infect, harder for unauthorized parties to gain access to data when the phone is locked, etc.

That and privacy, you also have a lot of control over what each app can do with gOS’s permissions settings vs standard ROM and most of that is enabled by default. Can break some apps, especially banking related. I have 122 installed, of that three gave me a little bit of trouble where I had to disable some protections to get them functional. DeGoogled by default, I use microG for some limited Play services to get stuff like Youtube Revanced working.
