While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

The Fairphone 4 supports /e/.

It seems graphene is limiting itself to Pixel devices. The developer is also mostly a one man show, so I don't think he has the capacity to support many devices. He's probably just busy keeping up with Pixel devices as-is.

What I would like to know is, how do /e/ and GrapheneOS compare.

Can't really find info on that.

They limit themselves to Pixel devices because they have by far and away the best hardware security. Same reason for Calyx.

It's mostly definitely not a one man operation and the guy you're likely referring to has left the project.

Thanks, today I learned.

How do Calyx and Graphene compare?

I see Calyx does support Fairphone.

I would like that as well. In fact I'd like to switch to Calyx, but from eOS.
