A pinephone with postmarketOS and sxmo
Oh cool. Do you like it?
How's the battery life?
I recently got myself a Pixel 7 Pro. the preinstalled OS really tries to push all the Google stuff on you, which isn't great.
but after a quick look around for 1 hour, I installed GrapheneOS and am very happy with it
although I'd really like to have a Linux smartphone. but there seems to be none with good hardware...
You can flash your own mobile linux os to it. I know a guy who did. But he was very knowledgeable about that stuff. And so privacy focused he wouldn't even show it off 😭
I haven't checked for the Pixel for now, but for every older phone (usually OnePlus') there was always something missing - only the OP One was well supported, which speaks for this company's decisions...
Android uses the Linux kernal, so it is technically linux
Nah, I wanna have a real Linux system, complete with userspace environment and my complete control over everything
GrapheneOS is pretty cool for now though.
I haven't tried PostmarketOS.
But I'm so in love with my Steam Deck. it's just pure beauty to have a complete Linux system in this lovely package. I can just ssh into it :-D
so, it would be awesome to have a device, that would fit in my IT environment. Apple products work better/exclusively with Apple products, Linux stuff works better with Linux stuff.
Pixel6 with grapheneOS

Fairphone 3+ with /e/OS. It has been 3 years now, still working fine, and no major problems really. It is expensive for what you get, but if it can help reducing e-waste and spare me the burden of buying a phone every 2 years, I think it's worth.
Fairphone 3(+, well it's only half way between plus and non-plus)
running /e/OS (ridiculous stupid name)
it's okay - but too expensive for okay
I wish Fairphone would release a version with antennas suitable for use in NA. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Pixel 6 GrapheneOS
Currently a Pixel with an anonymous custom ROM, although I've got a PinePhone on my desk I need to test more.
Cell phones are incompatible with privacy. Any phone necessarily constantly sends your location to your cell provider just in order to work. But even if that's true, there's no reason to also let someone else be the remote administrator for a sensor node with a camera and microphone that you carry everywhere. Running a mobile OS with a universal backdoor is bad times.
Galaxy S9 off eBay and put e/os on it. Can also buy them flashed https://murena.com/products/smartphones/
Moto g7 play with lineageOS 20 + microg + magisk delta I'm also running adaway and blocking all the tracker activities from my apps using app manager, and of course, using the most FOSS as possible for replacing proprietary apps. It works well, but sadly this phone won't allow me to hide root and the locked bootloader, so no safetynet because of CTS verification.
Edit: if I use hardware attestation disabler on lsposed, it passes
Lineage on a Pixel. AOSP is great without gapps
I don't like GrapheneOS' creator... I'd rather use LineageOS on my Pixel 3... I also have a stock Pixel 5
GrapheneOS is a fantastic software regardless of its creator. Also didn't Daniel Micay step down?
That's good.. he might have only stepped down from lead développer position though

Pixel 7 for GrapheneOS
Fairphone 3+ with ungoogled lineage OS
Poco F2 with Crdroid and microg
A little late, but Pixel+GrapheneOS.
E: bought the phone for the OS. GrapheneOS/CalyxOS are the ones recommended by the community.
Pixel 7 pro + graphene. Like others I got the phone for the OS, though I'm quite concerned now that I've seen the drama between the former lead dev and Louis Rossmann (and others).
A de-googled huawei.
Honestly, i care less about the Chinese knowing what time i go to bed, when i get up and the fact i rarely leave the house, than I do having google knowing literally everything :D
F-droid for apps, nextcloud for my contacts, calendar, bookmarks etc
Poco f1 with lineageos without google apps
Gigaset GS290 with /e/
A land line that I avoid using unless absolutely necessary. There is no such thing as a private cellular device.
Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS
@brihuang95 I have a pixel 4a 5g with graphene OS. Waiting for the 6a to arrive to me to do the same
iPhone 14 Pro Max
OnePlus 7 with stock OxygenOS (Android 11), but it's rooted. It probably sends all my data to every single country on earth.
I bought a Pixel 7 for the sole purpose of GrapheneOS. I really have no complaints. It Just Works and I feel slightly less uncomfortable carrying a phone with me.
Fairphone with /e/OS. I also like the fair-trade and repairability aspects of it.
