  2. You can't call something the "greatest OS of all time" if it doesn't work in the majority of devices (phones in this case) on the current landscape. Fight me! For real though, I want it, but don't want to buy a Pixel phone, neither new nor SH. And saying it's supported just on Pixel because it has extra hardware security features - bullshit! I mean, I don't challenge that it's not, but I want to point out that it's a very stupid argument. Maybe in alpha and pre alpha stages it would be ok. But on the full release, it's MUCH MUCH more important to have people onboard and even with just like 90% of the privacy and 50% of the security (and still much better than what the original phone has) than to have only one line of phones that limit the exposure to 10% of the potential users. That's bad prioritisation at this point. At least if they care more about raising the global security and privacy. It's not an easy decision to make, and I can't fault them, I'm just saying what I think would be more important (maybe a bit in a harsh matter, but, meh). I do think a lot of people would rather actually be able to use Graphene on their current phone, without the full security suite, than to have the Graphene OS team develop 3 security features extra, but keep the Pixel limitation (which means that people have to wait more until they try it, or switch to a Pixel phone - and maybe lose some features, like Louis does now) Other than that, I agree, it's awesome! Won't try it on a Pixel, sorry. Can't wait for it to become more popular and branch into other models, hopefully Fairphone and Pinephone.
