Personally I’m rocking a Google Pixel with Grapheme OS.

    There is no “OS”. Everyone uses Android with certain customisations, reskins and rebrandings. Android is the singular OS, unless you use iPhone or some non-smartphone.

      This isnt true. Even with all the Android derivatives lumped together, there are other mobile OSes.

        Nothing is practical or significant other than iOS. My point was I am tired of this Calyx, Graphene, Iode, /e/ and all these groups magically calling their custom rebranding/skinning a different OS than Android. This is delusional and misleading for everyone, and anyone who does this should be condemned. This started back in the starting days of Android, when most of the OEMs started doing the same for false marketing purposes, followed by most XDA custom ROM projects that started appending -OS suffix.

          Yeah, and thats fine! I dont agree that nothing else is practical or significant, though, and felt that it was worth pointing out their existence to anybody who might be confused based on your comment
