    Toxic culture run by someone who is questionable at best. Honestly I don’t see a need for it. It is certainly not the only option.

      Not the only one but its factually the best one. Questionable to me is your expertise on this topic when you deter people from using the best option, based on your unrelated, subjective, non-technical views.

        There isn’t a factual"best" one as peoples needs vary completely. That’s why I say the Graphene community is toxic. They are convinced that there is only one way to do things.

        Graphene is useless to me because I have no need or want for a Pixel or even a new phone. How can it be the “best” for me if I can’t even use it? As it turns out there is no right answer. It might work for you but that doesn’t make it the best for everyone.

      The person you are referring to did actually step down as lead developer… Best to be more informed before making claims. Could you elaborate on why you consider it toxic? I’ve yet to find the Graphene community toxic myself.

        They still have a lot of control though. Also I find that Graphene community thinks it is better than everyone else. I don’t have a problem with people being proud the problem is that Graphene is spreading false information like every other ROM is insecure. That’s not the case especially in terms of security as anything but stock is less secure. From a privacy perspective non google is better than Google but everyone seems to skip over that. People will say “Lineage OS uses Google DNS” but in reality your ISP could be using Google DNS the key it to setup Private DNS which takes only a few minutes to do. Graphene isn’t the only option. In reality there are tradeoffs everywhere.

        The fact that the larger community only knows of Graphene OS and stock is a bit scary.
