We have a partial port of GrapheneOS to the Pixel 11 series after a week of work on it. We're unable to complete the port due to lack of support for ARM hardware memory tagging in software, firmware and near certainly hardware. It appears Google cut an important security feature to save money.

If GrapheneOS stops supporting future Pixels, and Motorola is only targeting the flagship market for their compatible phones, we’re looking at truly dark days ahead.

    honestly tbh i don’t think MTE is such big deal… but then again i’m not really graphene’s target audience.

      I understand the purpose of it, but if you are using your phone in a smart manner (you shouldn’t use a cell phone for genuinely urgently serious things just for bare minimum) then it’s not a huge deal. The biggest thing it will help with is things in the realm of Pegasus spyware that will use memory corruption bugs that gain arbitrary system access. If you do not use the phone for things you should already (even with GOS) NOT be using a cell phone for, you will be fine.
