A custom ROM allows you to extend the life of your Android phone, but does it come with risks in 2024 and why isn't it more popular?

I am surprised that Google spends so much time tackling custom ROMs via it’s Play Integrity API. If only they paid that much attention to say, curating the Play Store more, it had be much better for everyone

    There will be a big enough issue if people start saying how they’ve got theirs with no issues. The primary motivation for people not bothering with Linux is because Windows “just works” and Linux presumably was work. If degoogling stopped being work, then more would do it.

    Linux has become extreme easy mode as well as a polished non intrusive experience and people are really drawn by that!
