It seems every single day there is a new article here favoring that distro.

Reminder: It forces you to use hardware suspected as compromissed from Google. Even this same month they were advocating you to use Tor, a VPN created and sponsored by the same agencies trying to get your private data.

Read other comments here, many others will point out the obvious red flags. It isn't spontaneous either that every day or so there is an article about this distro.

Don't fall into this trap, there are other options out there that deserve your attention.





Then list the other options, please.

LineageOS is just fine if you have a well-supported device. If you need to run proprietary apps, you'll need MicroG (which runs just fine as a user application) and the Aurora store.

Unfortunately, now that CalyxOS has died, the other choices are all forks of LineageOS (Iodé, /e/). The long-term hope is for a non-Google Linux system with all of Android running in a sandbox (something like Waydroid), but that's not ready for everyday use yet.


If you are fine running an OS with horrible security and privacy, then LineageOS and it's forks are fine. If you want the best privacy and security, then GrapheneOS is the best option.
