  So is GrapheneOS pretty much the play here?

  Nobody get all weird and hyper-niche, I want the easy FOSS one that the most people use, so I can find answers in forums for issues. The Linux Mint of phones.

    Oh god…are we about to enter the era of 5000 different phone distros, that when it comes down to it are really all the same???

    ZorinOS and Mint are basically the same thing. And really so are all the other debian distros.

    There’s like 3 types of linux. Everything else is just an offshoot of an offshoot. Personally I think it’s severely damaged linux’s popularity. And slowed it’s advancements.

    I hope thats not how phones go.

  The phone that you bought with your money, likely made by a third party, and sold by another party.

  None of them are google.

  Google fucking their own market. I will use a half working Linux phone before I submit to this. Something’s gotta change with these fascist US corpos owning everything.

  Just switch to GrapheneOS or Linux at this point.

    Sadly GrapheneOS only supports pixel phones and I refuse to give more money to Google.

      I didn’t know that. There is also LineageOS that supports a wider range of phones.

    I wish there were more phones that could run Linux.

    Buying a Pixel is just giving Google more money. Flip phone here I come.

  Serious question : I wanted to start setting up phones as home/local servers using termux and second hand phones. Can I still achieve that after september?

  • frog@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    Termux is on the Play Store so if you are logged in to each phone with your Google account, you shouldn’t have a problem. I think…

    • Skullgrid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      I mean yes… but I was thinking of removing the os as well? eh whatever, you’re right.

  Fuck it, consider your phone an applaince forced upon you. Take it and your phone bill off on your taxes as a business expense. SMS, calls, nav. That’s all, don’t give them anything more and tether a second device like a laptop for chatting with us degens.
