It’s possible, but a huge PITA. Learning how to do it, that is. Once you know all the magic incantations and have your potions and elixirs available, it’s easy enough.
Most of the “how to” guides don’t mention all the little crap you need to know so it takes a lot of trolling through forums to find why this next step isn’t working.
I have a galaxy phone but haven’t pursued the idea of installing grapheneOS on it as I thought it would be impossible. Please share you arcane knowledge of the unholy incarnations.
I’ve been daily driving bazzite for a few months, I would highly recommend you give it a distro hop for a bit to see if it fits you.
The main downside is getting used to the atomic mindset and changing how you install your tooling
I actually have it on a laptop, because I wanted something virtually bulletproof that my SO could have that just works. No worrying about broken configs or leftover cruft.
Just undecided if I want it on my main desktop. I’ve had a few minor but annoying issues with it, though nothing unworkable. Ricing is sometimes problematic, and that’s something I enjoy. I really like the build process, though, and how you can downstream your own version, and I like ostree backups (plus I can’t wait for bootc).
Man, I had gaming scheduled for this weekend. I guess I gotta move up my plan to backup everything and switch over to GrapheneOS.
Its a pretty easy switch and has some nice perks like disabling the software restictions on the USB C port so you can actually hook up displays
If you have a Pixel, yes.
If you have a Galaxy, you’re in for some s**t
I thought it wasnt even possible on a galaxy

How does GrapheneOS play with folding phones? Nicely?
Probably as well as any other stock Android ROM, because that’s all it is, plus a few security patches on top.
Do Linux next 🐸
I’m still waffling between CachyOS and Bazzite. 😆

ostreebackups (plus I can’t wait forbootc).gimme a decent rom guaranteed to work with my six-year-old unsupported hardware
Sorry didn’t realize you were asking for ROM
Lineageos is your best bet.
Maybe /e/OS?
Sir, I am regarded but I am sure we got somebody on fedi who can properly opine on this request
