Thinking about putting GrapheneOS on my dads phone

Expert4870: > These people want a phone that does phone things and that’s exactly what GOS does. No ads, no AI, no popups. Just a phone. > > People saying that you need some special reason to use GOS is ridiculous. Privacy and software freedom should be for everyone, regardless of their technical ability and especially when the software is as polished as GOS. Except he doesn’t. The problem is not really the user is tech illiterate, it’s he doesn’t ask for it and doesn’t really have a use for it. Expert4870: > Another benefit is the long 7 yrs support window so he won’t have to worry about change in the future. The stock OS has the same support window, no added benefit here. That said GrapheneOS will not hurt but he will definitely notice the changing and it will probably cause more harm than good for him since he’s used to stock.
