Mine arrived today. Ironic.

Also ironic that I had to buy a pixel, but i needed a new phone so I wanted something that gos and other distros could run on

Oh don’t apologize for buying their subsidized data collection devices and then completely disabling the reason they subsidize the devices 😂

It’s a kick in the nuts to Google every time GrapheneOS is installed.

Single source hardware is a security liability. If Google does something to the hardware or firmware, the GrapheneOS project would be screwed. Google has already hobbled AOSP.

We cannot overly depend on Google’s or any one company’s good will.

I think GrapheneOS should think about gradually steering the project toward a basket of hardware companies. Shifting to Motorola is necessary in the near term, but the whole situation with Google’s behavior needs to be a wake up call.

They might be stuck with single source hardware from Motorola now, they announced recently there’s a good chance they can’t support the Pixel 11.

Already, the pixel 11 line is out for graphene

i just got a pixel 10 pro… kinda wish i had got a samsung instead now

I’m excited to see what they do with Motorola as it would be nice to pick up something newer and have my current Graphene device for backup/travel in case prices ever go wild like they seemingly have for every other piece of tech. Honestly, there’s not much reason not to run Graphene because, privacy aside, the user experience is significantly deslopified and much better than stock.
