i'm currently on the same boat, fp5 with murena's OS. i believe we read the same article and i also read graphene OS's posts on mastodon about murena and it's founder.
im thinking about switching to Lineage sometime soon(?) and do heavy customization there. I don't really use murena's features (i hate the launcher but i knew i would before installing) and i'm not finding anything useful for me on /e/OS.
from september to january/february i was running ubuntu touch, which was fun, haven't checked back on the project for quite some time (i had to do some scary stuff to come back to android tho)
didn't the developer of calyx os harass people from the graphene os project?
i'm honestly thinking about getting a feature phone...
There might be also iodé OS and divestOS based on AOSP which would be interesting options waiting for CalyxOS to be back.
I already tried Ubuntu Touch bit it didn't look nice, I would like to try PostMarketOS but it's not yet completely functional...
And I definitely don't want to buy another phone right now to install grapheneOS
Right now i am propably going from /e/ to iodéOS
sounds interesting, however it looks like there's only one developer
Really? How do you know that? However: It seems to work better and is more privacy friendly than /e/OS.
commit history on a couple of their projects, haven't checked all ofc
I think this is the good thing to do
Done. Wow that was chill.
