That doesnt sound like a controversy, its bascially "btw, I use arch"

There is no controversy. There's a lot of people memeing. I haven't seen a single security analysis, or survey of options, that didn't put GOS at the very top. Look at privacy guides, they say graphene is great, but if you can't use that divest is okay.
People may not like the leader, and the developers are very opinionated which turns other people off, but I don't think there's any questioning the pedigree and the level of security provided
Yes I agree. The product itself seems to be very good indeed. The problem people have is not with the product, but with the personality of the project leader. Personally I have used GrapheneOS for the past 3 months on a Pixel 7 Pro and I love it. My reason for choosing GrapheneOS was that I need a phone with a top quality camera, and I want a phone that is less than 3 years old. That alone sets GrapheneOS apart from many other projects as many only support older phones with low to mid range cameras. Then you have the privacy, security, and setting customization that graphene offers and it's a clear top choice for me. Even if the leader is arrogant as some say, his product is good, and exactly what I need at the moment. So with no other projects offering what is important to me, I choose graphene for 2024. It's solid.
