It's less hardened than Graphene, but more user-friendly (IMHO) and similarly avoids Google spyware.
- chasil 2y agoI am running a copy of this on a spare phone. I'm 95% sure that it bundles an sshd, as LineageOS does. The Bliss launcher leaves a number of features to be desired. I can't see how to create a shortcut of the browser as an incognito tab, which for me is a must-have. The lack of widgets beyond the separate widget pane also is limiting. I've seen some methods to get Trebuchet imported by various means. That would be required for a daily driver. Otherwise it looks like a reasonable clone of Lineage with odds and ends. Edit: LineageOS bundles /product/bin/sshd - I have seen wikis on how to set this up with authorized_keys. /e/OS likely has the server daemon as well. My phone says that it's OpenSSH 9.0p1, BoringSSL.
- ForHackernews 2y ago:shrug: different strokes. I prefer /e/OS to LineageOS because things like maps, banking apps, microG + signature spoofing work out of the box. I think most Lineage users just install GApps, but I'm trying to avoid the google ecosystem.
- chasil 2y agoWells Fargo runs on LineageOS on my phone running Mind the Gapps. So does google maps.
- ForHackernews 2y agoThat's exactly my point: You're deliberately installing Google software on your LineageOS device, so it's not really that different (from a supported apps or data privacy perspective) from a stock ROM. GrapheneOS and /e/OS are trying to solve different problems: producing a usable Android operating system that isn't tied to Google.
