Graphene inherits all of the problems of Android and you can’t have root access.

Definitely not the way. My pixel is running Lineage, rooted. I had a workaround that tricked apps into thinking I had a regular version of android but an update broke that.

Why you need to run OS as root?

Because I want to. Do you want to run your PC without root?

Only to admin tasks.

I feel like to do anything on Linux you need super user. I just want a truly customizable phone OS

But this is done intentionally, and that's a good thing. If it weren't, it would be like in the early versions of Windows, where opening any file could crash the operating system.

Do you know Pinephone? Maybe is what you're looking for

Yeah but it’s a bit old. Would be a big downgrade. Maybe I should get one or a librem 5 anyway lol
