Could #GrapheneOS ship a sufficiently-secure-and-degoogled fork for non Pixels phones?
Pixels are cool phones, but they are niche, expensive, and accessible only to a small portion of the population. If we want to promote a culture of privacy and security through free & open source software, we need a much broader and more flexible hardware base.
I know they are considering producing their own phone, but I fear this is not a solution for the average user. This is also because creating, distributing, and maintaining large-scale hardware support is an extremely challenging and risky operation.
Obviously, this hypothetical fork will not be able to guarantee the same security as a phone with selected hardware, but it will have a setup that will ensure good basic protection and, above all, *educate* users in the use of free and open software through a dedicated store. If it were possible to install it on $100 phone, we would have the opportunity to educate entire new generations of young people.
