I dont want to start a fight or anything like that, I have to decide between these 2 and cant figure out which is the best and why, mostly because if you ask on X they just start swearing to each other without giving any real explanation, can anyone help a person who want to embrace privacy and anonimity?
I use calyx on a spare phone, graphene on my regular. Graphene is better security wise, and better privacy wise.
If your device can run graphene is go for it.
Graphene for example are using a sandbox Google play that’s not have any special privileges. Which you can choose to use or not. Or use in a separate profile. Calyx comes with microg from the start. Which still uses proprietary stuff. Just the hardened malloc and other stuff under the hood on graphene makes it a better option
what about battery life? I heard that calyx can stay on for a long time without any issues because there are no actual background apps but I didnt heard anything about that for graphene, can you confirm that since you use it as daily drive?
Amazing battery life , comparing a new install of calyx and graphene it’s a ton of difference. Calyx looks bloated in comparison with graphene. There’s basically like 5 apps on a new graphene install. Just running microg takes a lot of stuff to run.
perfect, thanks for the help.
