Interesting article from a generalist magazine. According to it:

  • Best Preinstalled Phone: Fairphone 6 With /e/OS
  • Best for Pixel Phones: GrapheneOS
  • Best for Non-Pixel Phones: /e/OS
  • For the DIY Tinkerer: LineageOS

GrapheneOS technically on paper supports RCS but I cant get it working and afaik most people can't get it working either (I think its more RCS works on GOS for some people with very specific carriers)

    They just released an update this month that has it working, I mean time will tell if it continues too but they specifically put a new permission in for this issue
