  Sounds like you already have one. Samsung phones are pretty bad though.

  There’s a lot of options. Volla phone, fn(x), fur something. You can use a google pixel 3a to put ubuntu onto. I’ve found that most of those phone have mid specs, unless you’re really wishing to dish out.

    Would the Google pixel not retain some line to Google? I’ve been leaning more and more towards getting away from Google and Microsoft. With Linux, I’m scared I’ll have an unsecure system just by virtue of not knowing dick about Linux except the little coding I’ve taken courses on that barely scratched it.

    Only reason I got Samsung was the cameras on the S22 or 24 or whatever it is I have. Pixel has good cameras, I’ve heard, but it’s entirely Google. Does putting Ubuntu remove all that…?

    Sorry if not the place to ask.

      I mean, you entirely replace the OS, so i would assume so. I know that GraphineOS is entirely independant of Google, but it’s still Android.
