When you go to the website and click to download, you are redirected to a letter to the community. I heard there is/was a changing of the guard and development is on hiatus. Does this mean you can’t download CalyxOS from them at all anymore? Is this a reflection of the actions google is taking with the play store?

Should I be looking at a different OS than CalyxOS? I’m currently running /e/ amd was interested in trying something else. Do you have any other suggestions of privacy driven OS’s?

Sorry for so many questions 🤣

    forgive my ignorance but I always thought calyxOS was lineageOS + microG, are there things in there I missed?

    Calyx has been inactive since a few months. This is unrelated to google afaik. A good way to search for a custom ROM is go through the XDAforums forum of your device. Most custom ROMs are posted there.

    The images are back up I believe.

    The project is reorganizing and changing security keys due to the head and lead Dev leaving. They plan to publish new images in the coming months AFAIK. A reinstall will be needed at that point.

    This isn’t related to the Google stuff.

      In February that is a long way off. What little steam the project hade well be lost by then. I expect they well be gone in five years.
