I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

Agreed. I was debating between CalyxOS and GrapheneOS, and I ended up w/ GrapheneOS because I ended up picking the Pixel 8 due to the long software support cycle. If I picked any other phone, I would've ended up w/ CalyxOS.

Both are great projects.

Indeed. I am currently waiting for Calyx to be released for my phone, it's a Moto g84, and support seems to be coming along nicely.

I probably would have picked a pixel if I could, but they are not available for sale in my country.
