I really wish some of those privacy OS would organize and pool their resource into one big force rather than be splintered across dozens of version. You got Lineage OS, Graphene OS, Pine OS, Pure OS, Lune OS, Postmarket OS, Sailfish OS Kai OS and now Calyx OS (plus all the dead ones Firefox OS). All great privacy focused OS. all have fairly low adoption rates and very limited selection of supported devices, sure some of them are android and some are pure Linux which is probably an unbridgeable divide but even if only the android ones unite I am sure they'd be able to put up a much more serious competition to google.

...you mean lineage?

[@arcanegb2662]

For specific devices, there's postmarketOS, which is a Linux distro for mobile devices, with a variety of user interfaces. That said, it is very hard to port to, because all of the drivers for the cameras, modem, WiFi/BT chip have to be either open-source or be developed from scratch. For devices which are full of proprietary drivers, Ubuntu Touch is significantly easier to port to, mainly because it can run on the stock Android kernel, and use its drivers. If by any chance that is difficult, porting LineageOS is easier because you can use the stock drivers for the device.

I'd be curious to know what is involved in porting this over to other devices the way LineageOS does; given some of the recent moves by Apple, etc. I can see this becoming more and more popular an option particularly for those working in commercially sensitive fields, having privacy concerns for their own personal wellbeing, etc.

[@skywz]

Theoretically I would assume you could, but it would be worse than the Pixel versions most likely, due to a) not having the backing of a dedicated entity to provide confidence in longevity and b) pretty much every other modern phone requiring the boot loader to be unlocked before installing another OS, which the Pixels do not. Ironically, Google phones are the easiest phones to de-Google

[@davocc2405]

@@skywz That's quite interesting (and ironic) that the Pixel is the only one that this can be done on easily; it sounds intensely counter-intuitive, I wonder why Google did this?

@@davocc2405 I have no answers. I’m not even certain that this is true; I heard on a tech video on another channel that Google did this, but I’m not sure if it’s true that Pixels are the only major phones that do this, and I’m not sure that Calyx OS will only be ported to phones that can do this.

You need the drivers for that devices combination of hardware, installed into OS, Almost all the mobile processors are based on ARM and its standards so the software should work (probably they have interoperative layers before the software execution level for that) and a software package that runs all the hardware like one that handles NFC, the cellular radio and dialing, camera, sensors, etc. then package it up as a ROM to be installed on the device. Knowing how to and how to do it on Android's Linux base... that is where the work comes in and why not every joe and jane average is doing it.
