Apple would rather maintain a completely different version of its operating systems for Europe…

Next time some apple fanboi tells me how Android is fragmented I’m gonna laugh in their face.

Two reasons I use my legacy iphone:

  • I‘m not convinced yet a linux phone works as a daily driver (not using android ever)
  • The price for trying is too high (350 bucks for pinephone is too much atm)

Why not use Android when things like lineage OS and graphene exist? The way I see it from least private to most private would be standard Android then Apple then Android running like lineage OS or graphene with no Google apps.

I might need to be more specific here: Not using stock android ever.

But buying a (used) android phone just to be able to root it vs buying some half finished linux phone doesnt feel too great either. Thats why I havent made the jump. The switching cost (time, money, energy) is just too high.

I was thinking about pinephone but the reports so far are meh, librem 5 seems incredibly expensive, fairphone - somewhat more decent but also pretty expensive atm.

I feel like there needs to be more of a community for this to discuss and share experiences so people can feel confident switching, myself included.

Fair enough. LineageOS or GrapheneOS with no GApps is the only way I have used Android for the past ~5 years and it works really well. I will not buy a device at all until I can put either Lineage or Graphene on it and I only boot into stock android long enough to enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking which are needed for flashing. After that I flash the device and then set it up fully.

Totally makes sense to me. We‘re at the very beginning of this whole thing I believe and there are insane opportunities in the future. As an admin and hobby dev I feel like I might be able to but I need a little more community/time so I dont start the next 100 hr project.
