[kwlug-disc] Becoming Calyx/Graphene enthusiast (nut?)

[Doug Moen]

GrapheneOS typically has 4 or more security updates each month. June was exceptional with 8 security updates. Check it:

CalyxOS? For all of 2026, there was one general release in July, requiring a reflash, plus one security update in August.

Graphene has the best security & privacy, and is actively developed. I do not recommend Calyx, which is more of a zombie project.
