Get a Google Pixel and install GrapheneOS.
First Smartphone/OS combo I really enjoy, mostly because this device is fucking secure. I just can’t bare non-updatabe CFWs, long forgotten branded roms and Google services…
Problem is things like cars and banks. Some banks now require you to run their app to have online banking. That app refuses to run on rooted devices or custom ROMs, if they can detect it. Some cars have no satnav and require Andrio Auto. Which is in someways is good, but it means there is arm race between FOSS people and car makers + Goings, because of course only they are “secure”.
There needs be regulation to protect user freedom/privacy/security and ensure there can be competition to the Google/Apple duopoly.
How about a cave with some art on the wall I could visit on my own time? I hate it when someone interrupts my phone information smoke signals (or smokies as the kids call them these days) and when you miss a puff or two it’s impossible to find your place again.
is there a TLDW for the people who can’t watch videos?
Yes.

LineageOS or CalyxOS. But Pixels are ass cheap. Bought a used 4a for 150 bucks.
U can recover everything.
Charfing speed no, only of bugged, but hat no huge problems with GrapheneOS yet. Douvt there will be, cause their work is godlike.
I am likely going with the pixel, just because of the free-er ecosystem on it, plus the update window they committed to last time around is super nice
Thanks
Just another thing to add to the
reasons i dont want a samsung devicepileI’m hopping by the time I need my next phone Linux phones will be ready.
“Hey guys, newbie here, just wondering what distro I should go with for my phone. I mainly want to game and use Microsoft Office 365.”
Nostradamus, is that you?

Wow, that site is borderline magical.
Also is there an audio recording for the people who can’t read?
also is there an interpretive dance summarizing the main points for those of us that struggle with specificity but thrive on abstraction?
Is there a smoke signal nearby for us who can’t use the internet?
