Calyx's governance vs Graphene is incomparable. Calyx is run by a nonprofit with open books and a helpful, albeit small, community. Graphene is run by a replyguy that speaks harshly about other Android projects. Graphene's technology is interesting as I've been following it since it was the original CopperheadOS. For most users without high threat models Calyx would suffice.
- kaba0 5y agoGraphene also has many developers, so you are just spreading FUD. And is it really harsh speak when there are plenty of entities (copperhead os) selling other people works rebranded? Especially to a target group which seem to be way more gullible than they supposed to be, running away from google into the hands of scammers.
- privacyking 5y agoIsn't grapheneOS run by that crazy dev who complains literally every day that people are out to get him?
- kaba0 5y agoHe may be slightly more paranoid than what is healthy (which may be inherent in the security domain he is an expert in), but I would not call him crazy. Also, it is not as black and white, copperhead os did try to backstab him by selling his own work. Also, a secure OS is very much the same as cryto — you don’t roll your own. And while the enthusiasm is welcome in this space, it is simply a ridiculously hard domain which should not be done by novices.
- lpcvoid 5y agoWhich isn't quite unfounded since the CopperheadOS guy literally booted him out of their first company and has since then AFAIK simply copied from GrapheneOS while running sleazy marketing. May be wrong on the copying part - please correct me if so, but that was my impression a while back.
