The problem with Graphene os is that it is unethical. I want my device to be fully free or as free as it possibly can be. Graphene doesn't see to care about that.
Calyx is a bit better because it is a little stricter on software. Probably the best solution is to only install a apps you need and only get them from F-droid.
How is GrapheneOS unethical? How isn't it as free as CalyxOS? Basically everything they add to the OS can be disabled. Personally, I'd say GrapheneOS and CalyxOS are the same in this regard.
How is CalyxOS stricter on software? With GrapheneOS, a user can opt to only use F-Droid to install everything too if they wanted to.
