I have a Pixel 6a with grapheneos which will lose support next summer iirc. Meanwhile I got my hands on an old Oneplus Nord for free so I'm trying out /e/os on it. Still undecided what I'll do next summer. I'm curious about how you decided on Sailfish? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Sunshine@piefed.ca [S] 0 points 1 month ago (4 children) Sailfish is the most secure mobile linux os and is more independent from android than Graphene. It also has the best mobile UI. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 child) Maybe consider Nura (formerly known as postmarketOS) over Sailfish. Sailfish has a proprietary userspace, and I'm fairly sure they rely on an Android kernel, meaning once the LTS kernel stops being supported, it will no longer be updated. Meanwhile, Nura uses mainline or close to mainline kernels, much like Linux desktop computers, and the DEs are fully open source. I personally like GNOME Mobile the best with Plasma Mobile coming in second (Plasma Mobile basically being a clone of the Android UI). The Fairphone 5 is close to being feature complete, and if you don't mind using AI-assisted code, the Fairphone 6 and 6+ is even closer to being feature complete when using TheMightyCat's build of Nura (Nura doesn't allow LLM code in their repos, so the userspace tools and the non-mainlined kernel code cannot be included in the Nura repos and are kept in separate repos). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Sunshine@piefed.ca [S] 1 point 1 month ago We will see the state of Nura in 2028. permalink fedilink source parent [–] zer0squar3d@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 1 month ago (1 child) Where are you getting your stats?
