Linux__ (npub1s64…vnps)
I don't know about that, but it depends how you define "safe enough". If you mean to defend against any relatively recent types of remote or local exploits, then no.
Installing a mobile Linux distro adapted from desktop doesn't fix the horribly outdated firmware. That is why GrapheneOS does not provide support past this point. Without proper firmware *and* OS support, the devices quickly become vulnerable and someone other than the OEM providing firmware patches is infeasible to the point of near impossibility.
This isn't even touching on the general and egregious lack of security on desktop and desktop-based platforms either.
But yes, I suppose it is dependent on your threat model and priorities. If we want options other than Pixels and iPhones as secure devices then we should pressure other OEMs to meet a higher bar.
