- No independent security audits
> Snapshot audit of GOS would be a huge overtaking, which GOS foundation can't afford and also kind of pointless as new code is added constantly. Debian is also not independently audited. Ubuntu has gone partial audit (only Ubuntu Core and for IoT use only) Not even iOS is independently security audited.
- Support ends with Google's firmware/kernel updates
> Yeah and thats about 7 years. Point me to some other option that has longer support and does not rely on the manufacturer to get firmware updates. Updates are extremely important to keep devices secure.
- Proprietary hardware remains a black box
> Like on almost every other general purpose computing platform, including all smartphones, intel/amd/qualcomm/arm laptops, etc
- Baseband/modem firmware is proprietary - potential privacy risk
> Same as above
