Comment on Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence

  The Fairphone 4 supports /e/.

  It seems graphene is limiting itself to Pixel devices. The developer is also mostly a one man show, so I don’t think he has the capacity to support many devices. He’s probably just busy keeping up with Pixel devices as-is.

  What I would like to know is, how do /e/ and GrapheneOS compare.

  Can’t really find info on that.

    They limit themselves to Pixel devices because they have by far and away the best hardware security. Same reason for Calyx.

    It’s mostly definitely not a one man operation and the guy you’re likely referring to has left the project.

      Thanks, today I learned.

      How do Calyx and Graphene compare?

      I see Calyx does support Fairphone.

        I would like that as well. In fact I’d like to switch to Calyx, but from eOS.

    Calyx Os supports the FP4 and announced support for the FP5

    That just to be said.

    I have e os on FP4 and I would describe my experience as follows: Do you want to switch from IOS to Android without loosing the style of the launcher and gain some privacy? Go for it

    If you want an Android that does a lot for you and give you tools like a vpn, a tracker blocker ect… Go for it

    If you want to customize your experience (e.g. have an “normal” Android launcher, switch accent colors …) ? You get a very rocky experience to say the best.

    And at least for the FP4, some stock apps like the Cam were just not working, but to be fair it seemed like that was a suppychain problem…

    I consider changing to calyx Os, expecting to get a more customizable Android.

    Check out iode.tech as well. Like /e/OS, also a lineage OS variant but with build in firewall which you can customize (or turn off). Fast security updates and great default informed FOSS apps (unlike /e/OS).

  That’s more up to the grapheneOS devs

    True, but part of the reason they don’t go for it is hardware things that are missing
