I got grapheneOS on my phone right now. Go fuck yourself, google.

I will also do my damn best to make sure my older Samsung S23 doesn't fall into that version. I have uses for that phone.

Yea but you had to buy a google phone right or do they support more phones now

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 2 points 5 hours ago

Sadly I had to. But Motorola did support... before I got a Samsung I had a grapheneOS compatible Motorola, but it broke down.

Motorola is starting to offer grapheneOS compatible phones or so they said, on the regular.

You are right to point out that this hardware dependency on Google is bad and obviously this wouldn't work for everyone if everyone were to switch to GrapheneOS, but you can totally buy a used Pixel if you don't want to give more money to Google.
