To me it is super weird that GrapheneOS positions itself as a way to degoogle - but it is only supported on google's Pixel hardware.

Pixel hardware is some of the easiest to get/best/cost effective with an unlocked bootloader.

Too bad the only affordable ones are those that have little to no support left.

Why would anyone care about official support? That's not why you buy a pixel

[-] EngineerGaming@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago

I meant support from Graphene itself.

[-] nudnyekscentryk@szmer.info 1 points 10 months ago

is it that bad? I though Graphene supports all Pixels well

[-] EngineerGaming@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago

The following devices are end-of-life, no longer receive firmware or most driver security updates and receive extended support from GrapheneOS as part of the main releases with all GrapheneOS changes including all of the latest Android Open Source Project changes:

Pixel 5 (redfin)
Pixel 4a (5G) (bramble)
