    Great news and loving that they are able to update faster to newer versions.

    Custom roms vs. stock Android are like Linux vs. Windows. Without them, the devices would not be as usable and powerful as they can be.

    A huge Shoutout to the countless maintainers that make it possible!!!

    This is a 100% noob question, I know.

    But can someone who used Lineage and Graphene say why they prefer the one they do?

    I’m standing between choosing one.

      Graphene only works on Pixel phones. Graphene is more private and secure, but might be too many issues for people who do not care about such things that much. Lineage has better support for different phone models, and you can make it just like a normal Android OS, that just happens to provide updates for your phone years after the manufacturer stops sending them.

      Neither of them is better than the other, it’s just about your priorities. Get Graphene if you have a Pixel and you value privacy and are willing to tinker with it a bit if some apps don’t work.

      Lineage covers many devices but is not very privacy friendly. It does not include Google integration by default. The ßain advantage is longer software support.

      Graphene is most secure and privacy friendly OS and comes with support for sandboxed GApps (optional). Unfortunately it is only made for Google Pixel devices so I’m out.

      Depending on your reasons and device you could also check alternatives like /e/.
