I feel like this thread is missing the forest for the trees. 80 replies after DivestOS was ended last week, when it should be plain to see CalyxOS is no replacement.
AFAICT, DivestOS was recommended for its broad hardware support. GrapheneOS sets a really high bar for privacy, security, UX etc., but not everyone can afford or obtain a Google Pixel.
How does CalyxOS compare?
CalyxOS supports exactly 5 devices other than Google Pixels at this time (three Motorollas and two Fairphones); a far cry from what DivestOS supported. I could not find any listing for these less phones than $450, and I’m not confident they are easier to obtain in regions that people have trouble getting Google Pixels (especially Fairphones). They are also significantly worse for privacy/security perspective. I mean, Motorolla requires you to make an online account to unlock the bootloader and sign additional legal terms. Why in the world would Privacy Guides recommend that?
We all miss DivestOS but CalyxOS just doesn’t fill the hole it left behind. On the same hardware, there’s really no reason to recommend CalyxOS alongside GrapheneOS. Unless either of those things change, I don’t think anything else really needs to be said.
