Honestly in a lot of cases people here are too ideologically blinded to see the logic that you’re laying out. It’s the same mental gymnastics that let many here praise something like GrapheneOS yet turn around and screech over it not allowing root which is nearly central to its entire security architecture.
But in this case… I don’t know. The OEM is so actively hostile you might be better off just taking the risk with root if you must purchase it at all (and physically removing the radio/microphone hardware not being an option).
- mort96 9d agoWait who are these people who praise GrapheneOS but complain about it not allowing root? It sounds like you're conflating two groups of people
- armadyl 8d agoNo, go to any large GrapheneOS post on here and you’ll inevitably see comments asking why they can’t have root and why it needs to be so strict, why can’t they have everything with the feature set of GOS + root. I’m sure in my comment history I’ve argued with people here over this.
- mort96 8d agoI would also have been annoyed with that if I had to use GrapheneOS, security is a terrible argument to deny people access to their own hardware. But then I'm not a GrapheneOS user, just like I wouldn't have been a Fedora user on my desktop if Fedora made it impossible to gain root.
