      Used pixel actually limit a lot the choice. I’ve not dived into de-googled phone yet but from what I understood postmarketOS seems like the used/old phone OS

        Writing this from a degoogled Pixel 4a bought second hand for 80 bucks a couple years ago. Great camera, enough storage, fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, fits in hand and pocket. This is near prefect, new phones are scam.

    I’m running lineage os on a Motorola moto g7 power (2019) Android 15 runs fine on a 6 year old phone.

  Same reason it continually sucks to get a working Linux build on an apple laptop or desktop.

  As bad as Google is, they’re lightyears ahead of Apple in terms of protecting their products in a walled garden.

    Really? What’s your favorite custom ROM for modern iPhones?

    • whoisearth@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I’ve never investigated for iPhones but would be curious

      1. if they exist
      2. how bloody hard they are to get going

      I can only speak for laptops/desktops and it being a bitch.

      There’s a reason I’m very adamant at hating Apple for a multitude of technical reasons. This is but one of them. It’s a shame too because their build quality is really S-Tier.

  That isn’t really true especially with Calyx OS

  Doesnt calyxos also work on fairphone

    “work” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here when talking about a Fairphone. Worst phone I ever owned with quite some margin.

  I would get a Nokia flip phone but they cost a bit. Cheaper to get something someone is throwing out
