Murena sells highly insecure devices without basic privacy/security patches or the standard privacy/security model intact. Direct opposite of GrapheneOS in regards to privacy and security. It also lacks the stability and app compatibility of GrapheneOS…

Murena, the company behind /e/OS, heavily pushes using both an insecure OS and services. Their services lack end-to-end encryption and are the opposite of private. People purchasing their devices are making a huge privacy and security sacrifice compared to simply using an iPhone.
Murena misleads people into wrongly believing that GrapheneOS is harder to use as their CEO is doing there. GrapheneOS has far better app compatibility, far better stability and unlike /e/OS is a serious production quality OS keeping up with updates and keeping things working.
/e/OS is a fork of LineageOS, a volunteer developed project focused on broad device compatibility and power user features rather than privacy or security. /e/OS is a security disaster even compared to LineageOS with far longer update delays and far more security regressions.
Despite all the money Murena makes selling overpriced insecure devices and grifting EU government funds, they aren’t even able to keep their non-end-to-end encrypted services up. Those services were recently down from early October until mid-February. That’s not remotely serious.
Here’s another example of the CEO of Murena replying to a post about GrapheneOS trying to mislead people about it and promote their products:

Gaël Duval consistently misleads people about the ease of obtaining GrapheneOS, app compatibility, usability and privacy. These desperate posts on X, Mastodon and elsewhere are a small fraction of it. It’s Murena’s company policy.
This is great to see, and should definitely be front and center for new users! At first glance it seems to have good coverage of the things people run into when working with user profiles.
