Feels to me like GrapheneOS did exactly what it should, passing the US border test with flying colours!

Funny part about this lawsuit: “With a little planning ahead of time, you can always download the data you need once you get to where you’re going,”

GrapheneOS - the only OS that i just installed and forget about it. Sure i spend time to tweak things like profiles but thats it.

And I am a distro and rom hopper.

The security model is that good: duress pin, scrambled pin, separate profiles with their own passwords, usb c restriction (you can set it charge only, charge while phone is off (most secure state).

and yet people even here don't understand why it would be useful even without the hardware security thinhs of the pixel

You can only install Graphene on a Google phone and there's two big issues with that:

  1. you are rewarding Google by buying their hardware.
  2. it doesn't matter how secure the os claims to be if the hardware is compromised and there is nothing you can do to convince me that a pixel doesn't have a backdoor into your data at a hardware level. If I was a conspiracy minded type I might say that Graphene is a Trojan Horse.
