MODERATORS
They're saying they dont recommend it to anyone.
I think to be deprecatory about their choice. Or while acknowledging it has use they still wouldnt recommend it. I have a ton of apps I have used/continue to use that I would never recommend to people. (Dont use anything made by elsevier, they are the devil)
All the technical stuff is beyond me though. I have android on a cheap phone because I am poor and not tech savvy.
In that case ig check if you phone supports lineageOS and look for tutorials on installing it
Rooting your android phone makes it less secure
GrapheneOS doesn't support PinePhone? Is there some third party?
Nah I was conflating two things, Pine with the mobile Debian that you lock down, or a Pixel with Graphene would be (some)the options
