I switched over to the fairphone which is degoogled android, and it's been honestly great. Linux phone has a way to go, mostly needing to be able to run android apps I think, but /e/OS is a good bridge

    I could never use the fairphone after reading about how the leadership responded to grapheneos disclaiming their claims that it was a secure device.

    Instead of rebuking their statements, the founder resorted to personal attacks on the the leadership of grapheneos and reiterated the false information that the graphene project had.

    Until i had read that I had a very positive mentality of the project but, that definitely has made me think twice about using anything related to /e/os in the future regardless if grapheneOS claims are true or false (they seem true)
