I always disliked that GrapheneOS uses bootloader re-locking as an excuse to not support more phones.
It just feels like trying to convince someone to use Secure Boot because of "security". When infact its the first thing I disable when installing Linux, and keep disabled. I surelly dont need it on my PC, and certainly wont on my phone. So this sounds pointless.

This is a security theater, just like secure boot on PCs, you as linux users should understand, its the first thing you disable on any PC you want to install Linux on, you keep it disabled because it exists to stop you from using arguably much more secure alternative OSes.

Locked bootloaders on Android are the exact same thing, they exist to stop the user from having control of their own hardware, not to actually secure your device.

It protects the integrity of the OS, and secures against both local and remote attacks. Even if an attack is initially successful, it won't survive a reboot.

If you don't want a secure OS, use LineageOS or any other AOSP fork. You are also free to use GrapheneOS with the bootloader unlocked or to fork it to make it compatible with other devices with less security features.

Then go use lineage. Just wipe the phone any time you lose sight of it.

You are aware 100% of Android smartphones come with locked bootloaders, right?
>>
>>106744123
big part of graphene is physical security for cases when your phone gets stolen or taken away from you so it makes sense, if you only care about anti botnet and want to have your device bootloader unlocked for root or something then use calyx, degoogled lineage or whatever the current rom is

>>106744123
Just stop using phones. Throw your phone out your window.
