Dear fairphone team, wouldn't it be awesome if you developed your next fairphone with GrapheneOS in mind, ship with GrapheneOS as standard OS, or at least have that as an option? The privacy-conscious crowd and the eco-friendly tech crowd have so much in common! You enjoy immense trust, which would be a great anchor for eco-friendly people to join the flock of privacy-conscious phone and internet users. On the other hand, it could serve as an anchor for privacy-conscious people to get into the societal and eco-friendly tech market; instead of throwing their money at Google for homebrew-Graphene'd Pixel phones.

Hopeful, tired_fedora

PS: I know there was this whole thing about GrapheneOS and fairphone snapping at each other about update cycles but it's time to move past that and forge a productive collaboration for the common good. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. dances off into a field of tulips

I'd like to see a Fairphone ship with PostmarketOS and Plasma Mobile (or at least Ubuntu Touch)

you know murena ships fairphones with e/os? not graphene, but still better than stock android

Thanks for the tip. Did not know. e/os is not Graphene but definitely an upgrade! There are also other companies selling pre-Graphened smartphones, but they are not fair. The reason I suggested a formal fairphone - graphene collab is that I trust Fairphone, as a company, to mean well, and I trust GrapheneOS, as an operating system, to be particularly privacy friendly. (and also as a slight slight at the fairphone - graphene feud, which I find just so sighs).
