Some turbulence at CalyxOS
Friday August 8, 2025. 07:25 PM , from LWN.net
CalyxOS is an Android distribution that
claims a focus on privacy and security. So when an announcement from the project begins by saying 'we want to assure you that we have no reason to believe the security of CalyxOS and its signing keys have been compromised', chances are that good things are not happening. In this case, it would appear that Nicholas Merrill, one of the founders of the project, has left for unclear reasons, and CalyxOS is responding by pausing all releases — and security updates — while its release process, signing keys, and security protocols are reworked. The result will be no updates for 'four to six months'. The project is recommending that its users 'should uninstall the OS' and wait for an all-clear signal. CalyxOS may have its work cut out for it when the time comes to try to convince those users to come back.
