The pixel is still a product of Google that Google benefits from when you purchase it. Some if us want to avoid contributing to their power as much as we can. Not purchasing a Pixel one of those choices.

Android needs to be replaced as well. I still hold hope for mobile Linux.

Google doesn't own the PC market.

    I usually buy a refurbished Pixel a generation or so behind the current. At least it doesn't directly support Google. Not perfect, but it's what I can afford.

    I understand that logic. But it's the very fact of even owning something that they produced is enough for me to reject it. if for nothing more than I don't want people seeing that i use a pixel phone because then, I benefit Google by acting as free advertising for their devices. Is my view extreme? Maybe, but i really hate the tech oligarchs. They have ruined so much in this world.

    Oh no I'm not saying I like the situation, I'm just saying its currently the only good option if you want something that works this instant.

    I love the idea of desktop Linux in my pocket, I daily drove an OG Pine Phone for a year. After a year for daily driving a Cosmo communicator.

    The support just isn't there and I really really wish it was. I honestly think the federal government needs to step in and fund FLOSS development, but lmao good luck, they don't even pay for cancer treatments.
