Its not mentioned but I prefer Calyx. Its got better networking features (being able to share your VPN over hotspot and between profiles is a big one for me), and I prefer MicroG (FLOSS) over Sandboxed Play Services (Proprietary). + The calyx devs are generally just really pleasant to talk to. Calyx works on Pixels, Fairphones, a few Motos and sometimes other devices if they can have their bootloader relocked.
Sorry it’s not mentioned but I thought is very similar to GrapheneOS but not better. Would still recommend CalyxOS if we ignore device support problem?
being able to share your VPN
Can I do this with some tweak on other OS or it is a OS problem and only Calyx supports it?
I like CalyxOS for my threat profile, I recommend the OS for people who want to have more control over their personal data and how its shared.
In order to share the VPN on non-CalyxOS android you’d have to root AFAIK, and rooting introduces a threat vector for bad actors to abuse if you’re Trying to avoid being hacked / being spied on (if you need to hide from the gov’t or people who abuse vulnerabilities)

I actually didn’t realize this is a CalyxOS-only feature.
Kinda curious that other roms aren’t including the “VPN via hotspot” truck
Ive got no idea other than maybe its something more difficult to port? I know theres a magisk module that does it but 🤷
