Hi, I just stumbled upon /e/OS https://e.foundation/e-os/ and I am wondering if anyone can point me to reputable resources comparing the two approahces.
How secure is /e/OS compared to GrapheneOS?
I think /e/OS is just degoogled, with it's own ecosystem, while GrapheneOS has much improved security and privacy.
So I guess it's your choice if you value security and privacy or an ecosystem that already works out of the box. I think, /e/OS is only really using Nextcloud for it's ecosystem solution, though. You could easily do this yourself if you wanted to.
I prefer security and privacy above all, and host my own stuff anyway, so Graphene just makes sense.

spl4tt I think /e/OS is just degoogled
Not at all, It always connects to Google services via Micro G and other programs, and security and privacy are far worse than Stock Android. The term “de-googled” is very misleading, because the operating system doesn't need to use Google services for data to be sent to Google servers, it's enough for the applications you've downloaded to send data in their own names, for example with Google Analytics via Firebase.
/e/OS is a deceptive operating system that is sold on devices that are mostly at the end of their life, it's just a scam to make business, all the services that /e/OS uses by default, users can use them themselves without being imposed on them.
It is not worth wasting any thought on /e/OS
