yeah like other people have rec'd, I just wrote a script for installing/removing/upgrading/searching all the package managers I have. this was used as a tongue in cheek jab and has never truly been a brag.
graphene ships stock aosp apps
check out cromite. it's an updated bromite fork.
this is just my opinion but if you aren't after the sandboxing benefits then don't bother with them. if you want to avoid dependency hell go with nix, if you are worried about storage space use your standard package manager, and if you want higher security without the knowledge/effort to manually do it, go with flatpak or snaps (although many flatpaks need to be further hardened via Flatseal as the dev gets to configure the sandboxing. I'm unsure how this operates under snap as I refuse to use it.)
it's because of the Titan M chip, not because of ease of bootloader unlocking. Pixel's have much higher hardware security with only iPhones and their secure enclave matching it afaik.
pixels have the highest hardware security of all Android phones, which increases privacy potential. assuming you keep the stock os and default Google settings, though, it's about the same as any other.
Google also has good support for alternative OS'/Android forks, which is likely where that claim is leading to.
I've fallen in the same hole before. tbh in my experience you don't really learn much until things start breaking.
most threat models aren't high enough to warrant worrying about it.
what obscurity.. is that?
the more third party apps you have, the higher your attack surface and a decrease in security. I love my mods but this isn't really a solution and should be an os feature.
