@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social Could you elaborate on this part or provide a link if it is already described in more detail somewhere?
"the only available devices providing reasonable security combined with proper alternate OS support"
What do Pixels have that any other mainstream device with LineageOS support does not?

@Paralhax@infosec.exchange LineageOS doesn't fully keep up with Android updates and privacy/security patches. It also doesn't fully keep the Android privacy/security model fully intact. It's not a privacy or security focused project in the same way. It's a downgrade from AOSP rather than a major upgrade. It's not rolling them back nearly as much as something like /e/ but it's still doing it. LineageOS lacks real security requirements for devices and on most don't have regular kernel, driver or firmware updates.
