I was thinking about using graphene OS, but I’ve read some lemmy users dislike this OS due to perceived misleading advertising and the pixel 7a you’re supposed to install graphene on because it’s from google (an advertising company).

Another option would be lineage OS, but there is so much false information about this OS, namely compatible phones that simply don’t work with this OS and no support.

what works for you? I want a phone with no google, that doesn’t force me to use the manufacturer’s ecosystem and that won’t show the apps I don’t want or need (on an asus I own you cannot neither get rid nor hide bloatware)

    Not need to force anyone to use anything mate!

    Here is my personal example: I made my choices a long time ago…

    I ditched ANY:

    • M$ related product/service;
    • ALL Meta (as in Wazaaap);
    • closed source apps;
    • i have 0 IoTs around my ass, but a nice computer infrastructure built in more than a few decades;
    • no friends around with i Phones …

    AND still I need to do so much about privacy and my life in general and I continue to learn & apply as much as I can…

    Also, I kindly invited and explained others why I choose to ditch products/software/companies/people that do not respect Humans in general and consider all of as as being just dumb “assets”…

    Indeed it feels lonely sometimes, but i prefer the silence rather than noise/propaganda/parotting/or really any kind of bullremoved.

    Peace!
