@GrapheneOS does this mean i will be able to get a degoogled motorola device in the future?
Alexia 
@alexia @GrapheneOS yeah, ofc the end goal is using a proper linux phone, to get maximal freedom and security
but having a degoogled android device is a step along the way. though i have been stuck at that step since around 2014

@lumi @alexia GrapheneOS and the Android Open Source Project are Linux distributions. We strongly disagree with the premise that glibc, systemd and GNOME are preferable to the much more private and secure AOSP software stack. Moving to the desktop software stack would be a huge regression for nearly everything we care about and focus on improving. It's already possible to run desktop Linux apps in GrapheneOS including GUI apps via the hardware virtualization support and there's a desktop mode.

@navi @lumi Where's the application sandboxing, memory safe languages, modern exploit protections, deep integration of powerful hardware-based security features and everything else we focus on in GrapheneOS?
Aside from any of that, the concept that the Android Open Source Project isn't a Linux distribution is wrong. Linux isn't the userspace software that's largely portable to other operating systems. There was a Debian variant using the FreeBSD kernel which is clearly not Linux.
David Heidelberg@GrapheneOS @navi @lumi let me disagree here. Android is fork of Linux.
Fork with huge change-set - hard to review.
With drivers written to "get to market fast", not quality.
With other closed drivers in userspace to avoid open sourcing.
Naaaah, this ain't Linux I'm running on my laptop.
I won't argue — security features of AOSP may be superior. But what runs beneath these features isn't!
HybridStaticAnimate@okias @GrapheneOS @navi @lumi That is incorrect. Android and GrapheneOS are Linux distros and are perfectly capable of running mainline linux kernels. Linux is not a badge of honor that you apply to what you like about a distro and what you dont.
