MODERATORS
General consensus says Graphene, however if you prefer an experience closer to one Richard Stallman would approve of, there's also iodéOS which supports bootloader relocking on the P7, and at some point CalyxOS is expected to come back from their restructuring, and they should also support your device. Really depends on what you want out of your phone. Do you want MicroG or full google play services? Do you want EU-made software, do you want a built in DNS-blocker, do you want to share the same VPN across your phone profiles? There's a lot to consider :P
don't go for /e/ though, other person has already linked why.
iodéOS is in no mean a Richard Stallman view OS, just look at the business model of iodé, freemium...
I use calyxos btw. The only thing I can complain about is their default wallpaper. I do like how you can choosr which apps you want during the setup, but sadly chromium will always be installed :(
If its any consolation, Calyx Chromium (Chromium that's included with CalyxOS) is a de-googled fork with patches from Cromite (and before that from Bromite). IIRC its because Gecko based browsers don't have as good compatibility, so they went with a Chromium base for their browser
Yeah but they could add it to the menu where you chose what apps to install, so I can decide not to have it(they could also add a warning if you don't have any browser).
