Wouldn’t unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom ROM be easier, more stable and cheaper than buying a niche product that’s unlikely to work properly?

What exactly are you looking for? Android IS Linux, do you want to try a different “distribution” just for fun?

The code is still accessible, you just can’t use the code search function in the web, which normal git doesn’t have anyway.

The latest pixel devices (since 6 I think?) already provide accees to a /dev/kvm device, so maybe you could even run a normal Ubuntu server VM on your phone for hosting these services.

I guess he means that raspberry pi doesn’t run a mainline kernel

1000/400 mbps down/up for 40€ /month. Portugal

I think those kind of vulnerabilities are pretty rare, though.

Not really… If you go read the security bulletin from google, you will see every month that there are a couple of issues fixed on closed source components https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2023-07-01

Also vulnerabilities related to kernel code, I highly doubt most ROM “developers” are actually backporting security fixes for that specific device’s kernel branch/source.

You can update your phone with custom ROMs, but it won’t update the closed source components of it(device drivers, bootloader, etc…). If a vulnerability is found in one of those components, it’s unlikely that it will get parched

I ran GrapheneOS on a pixel 5 but ultimately went back to stock.

GrapheneOS was considerably slower on my phone. Apps took a bit longer to loader, but the worst was installing APKs, it takes so much longer compared to stock. Some apps (e.g. revolut) took more than 5 minutes to install, it was crazy.
