GrapheneOS is a bit slower due to security improvements btw. Secure app spawning and often enhanced randomization. 100% worth it though
I read about that on the graphene forum, i wouldn't mind waiting a few seconds for a higher level of security
No, not at all.
I am on Secureblue now on my Laptop, which also takes way longer to start. This is a different thing, but in general, "performance improvements" are often dangerous security drawbacks.
Like this Zygote thing in Android where all Apps share some memory parts or the layout or whatever (already forgot it) which makes them similar to each other and predictable for memory exploits.
On Linux there is something like "zero trust randomization" which increases startup time, because the OS doesnt trust the hardware to do good randomization and instead does it itself.
That quick startup on Linux and just how much faster it is in general. Then centralized OS systems is why I switched.
I've never heard of the zygote thing, it's a Android service? Or a shared Android process?
