As soon as you start flashing custom firmware the “just works” goes right out of the window.
Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone?
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoAn open source phone from top to bottom would be my dream, but Android is about as far removed from that as an iphone. Google took Linux and made it into a Frankenstein nightmare that is wholly dependent on them.
have you considered flashing custom roms on it? e/OS, LineageOS and GrapheneOS (restricted to google pixel for hardware+privacy/security reasons) are all opensource.

Graphene. Don’t try the others if you aren’t prepared for an uphill battle. Graphene just works.

I agree that graphene is the hands down best. But for people who have a device and want to switch, and that device is not a google pixel, well that severely limits your options.
