- This is a really interesting signal tbh.
While it sounds like it already works on GrapheneOS having a corporation come out and say they won't go out of their way to break it is quite unusual.
- Makes sense for them to support this given their scale. I wouldn't be surprised if GrapheneOS secures another big Android OEM vendor (after Motorola Mobility) and the user base of the OS quickly grows from its current 400k+ to millions.

- Seems ridiculous, but when their biggest rival can’t be bothered to support Linux… you see why they might announce something like this.

- "Support" seems a bit strong here. the statment has more of a "known to work with" than a whole lot of direct support effort, also you have to have a locked bootloader, here's the relevant statement.
> For power-users: Are all third-party ROMs blocked?
No. We currently support GrapheneOS when the bootloader is locked. We may support other third-party ROMs if:
They do not break the AOSP security model,
They support installation with a locked bootloader,
They properly configure and publish self-signed verified boot keys for their ROM, and
They promptly update to the latest AOSP patch level. We frequently update minimum operating system security requirements.
If ROMs do not consistently adhere to the standards above, we will remove them from the set of supported verified boot keys
- “You have reached your limits on help.roblox.com”
That is the first time I see something like that!
- Don't get too excited, this still goes against the basic freedom to own the devices you've paid for.
Remote attestation is still there and only official builds of GrapheneOS are supported. While this is marginally better than being tied to a build from an advertising company, you're still out of luck if you want to build the OS yourself.

- Great news! I never had problems running Roblox on my GOS, but it's nice to to see the explicit, official support.
Snowball effect (for both sides, software publishers and OS vendors).
- Please don’t let your kids on this platform…
- support?
I'm yet to come across an Android app I can't run on GrapheneOS.. what exactly are they doing?

- I guess that makes sense given the type of adults that prowl on Roblox.

- Truth be told, GrapheneOS is the only third party ROM that bothers to make app attestation work.

- That's excellent news!! Hope to see more of this!!
- However, if on LineageOS, which mind you is the only way to get updated (and thus safer) android versions in many devices, they simply block you.
Awful.
