I learned only yesterday that Google is going to effectively shut down open android. So I’m gonna have to move away from there. But what are my options? Is there a nice website that lists and compares alternatives?

I hear that Graphene is the goat, but I’m not on a pixel phone. Currently I’m on a Samsung galaxy a15

I hear about lineageOS as a good second, but it sounds like Google’s decision to close down android might affect lineage too.

I hear about others, but I’m not too well versed in running obscure OS.

      You don’t get it. Graphene does not develop an operating system, nor does lineage OS.

      They take Google android and do some modifications.

      If there is no more android from google, both will just starve or become obsolete or unable to fix security issues.

        Thats why I was asking. It seems weird then that they announced the partnership.

          Well, no, they still need to get away from Google pixel ecosystem so that males sense.

          Graphene will still be android, but with wider audience, which is a good thing
