I'd recommend iodéOS instead of /e/OS as the former is considered a bit more secure than the latter, see overview of Custom ROMs here (summarized from a well known German IT-Security Blog). You can also buy a FP5 with iodé preinstalled.
Thanks for the link! I'll check it out❤️
When is that overview from? I notice it mentions DivestOS which is no more and also that it talks about delayed security updates on CalyxOS.
If you check CalyxOS news you can see that they've published monthly security updates for at least a year now. Often bimonthly.
https://calyxos.org/news/
The original overview dates back to 2023 but is updated, e.g. to mention EoL of DivestOS. Security updates are observed over a longer period of time. Its criticism is that though updates are provided monthly their release in comparision to the release of the patches is delayed by some days and sometimes incomplete. Can be compared here: https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/asb-overview and here: https://calyxos.org/news/ The original overview in German can be found here: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/android-grapheneos-calyxos-und-co-unter-der-lupe-custom-roms-teil1/
Cheers for the links!
Well, AXP.OS exists but it's in early development and the pro version is rooted (so use the light if available).
