I'm switching my phone from Android to Linux.

    Why not switch to GrapheneOS or LineageOS? The former offers more security at the cost of being limited to Pixels and soon-to-be Motorola phones. The latter offers more privacy and greater device support at the cost of not being able to relock the device’s bootloader after installing.

      Both of these are still reliant on Android and thus Google. Switching to Linux eliminates this concern altogether.

      A post about switching from an Android phone to a Linux phone in a Linux phone community and you ask why it’s not Android…? o.O

      Big GrapheneOS fan here. Superb experience on a second hand pixel. Yes google might shut the gate one day but for the time being it’s fine.
