The strength of an OS comes from the available apps/programs. Android and iOS have that in spades, but in order to access it on graphene it's deliberately obtuse. I'm fine running Lineage with gapps or whatever, but it always felt like Graphene was fighting me every step of the way and just getting in the way.

I ran cyanogenmod for years but that was before Google tightened their grip on the reigns and tried to make running anything other than stock a pain.
