I’m looking to get a custom ROM that has good compatibility with my device. Would you recommend /e/? I couldn’t find a tutorial on how to install it with Linux but I don’t think it should be that hard to figure out.

    Root also adds massive attack surface which easily outweighs those benefits. Not to mention non rooted DNS solutions provide a similar benefit.

        That’s idiotic. Your data being insecure is inherently not private.

        They are two sides of the same coin.

            Not necessarily, there are tons of things that are very secure but not at all private.

            But… having a massive attack surface and known security issues and thinking your data is somehow private because you use a FOSS application is silly.

            EDIT to answer your edit: partly. I mean regular timely security updates seems to be a struggle for most of these android OS but also because it provides a bunch of privacy by default options that these other android ROMs don’t such as a private relay, default RCS messaging, and makes them easy for users.

      Windows is rooted by design, and that’s completely fine by everyone and their dog

        Lol nobody is calling windows secure or private. Nobody even mentioned it.

        Companies literally pay thousands of dollars a year in hardware and enterprise software to make up for its deficiencies.
