    Its not mentioned but I prefer Calyx. Its got better networking features (being able to share your VPN over hotspot and between profiles is a big one for me), and I prefer MicroG (FLOSS) over Sandboxed Play Services (Proprietary). + The calyx devs are generally just really pleasant to talk to. Calyx works on Pixels, Fairphones, a few Motos and sometimes other devices if they can have their bootloader relocked.

      Sorry it’s not mentioned but I thought is very similar to GrapheneOS but not better. Would still recommend CalyxOS if we ignore device support problem?

      being able to share your VPN

      Can I do this with some tweak on other OS or it is a OS problem and only Calyx supports it?

        I like CalyxOS for my threat profile, I recommend the OS for people who want to have more control over their personal data and how its shared.

        In order to share the VPN on non-CalyxOS android you’d have to root AFAIK, and rooting introduces a threat vector for bad actors to abuse if you’re Trying to avoid being hacked / being spied on (if you need to hide from the gov’t or people who abuse vulnerabilities)
