Move to Lineage OS or Calyx OS

Don't be fooled by the Graphene OS Mafia

What do the other two do better?

Lineage OS is a fairly generic ROM based on AOSP so it supports the most devices

Calyx OS is a privacy focused ROM without all the Graphene OS BS. The Graphene OS team and community are quite toxic and have a "my way or the highway" mentality. They don't support MicroG and focus more on security than privacy and freedom.

Does YouTube vanced/revanced not work on Graphene?

@possiblylinux127 @Tattorack See also this table: https://discuss.techlore.tech/t/comparison-chart-of-grapheneos-divestos-and-calyxos/5618

A bit outdated since Divest is gone (😢), but a core difference is that Graphene prefers proprietary google stuff that is sandboxed and not given any privileges, while Calyx prefers free software versions that might have other issues (eg incomplete, or unsigned coming from third-party sources).
