    The long term support might make it worth using, even if you don’t care about security/privacy

      @SomeBoyo What “long term support”? Official GrapheneOS releases for a device end when the official Android support ends because they don’t support hardware where the firmware is not updated anymore. Or did that change recently?

        I’m referring to “… and a minimum 5 year guarantee from launch for full security updates and other improvements”, from their FAQ.

          @SomeBoyo Yeah that’s the normal devices guarantee you also get with normal android on pixel devices. So in terms of longevity GrapheneOS doesn’t offer any advantages. There are other advantages of course.
