That's pretty sad to see, Techlore is one of the main ways how I got into digital privacy and security, but ever since they removed GrapheneOS from the mobile OS recommendations section on their resources page, I don't feel like it's a trustworthy source anymore. Removing the most private and secure mobile OS from your OS recommendations, while claiming to give people privacy and security-focused recommendations is pretty hypocritical. Instead they recommend CalyxOS which rolls back default AOSP security features, LineageOS which doesn't even work with a locked bootloader and microG which requires root access. It just feels like a bad joke.
I'm using LeneageOS with MicroG without root, and MicroG installed as a user app via their F-Droid Repo.
It works seemless.
Also, afaik GOS dislike Techlore, bc of some stuff and they don't want to be mentioned by them according to Techlore.
Apparently the gos devs (or the main guy at least) are snooty and shitty to alot of people.I see a lot of criticism about that but never see any criticism of the project itself luckily, I'm really settled in now lol
