  What do you use?

  I tried pine phone, but it wasn’t usable as a daily driver.

    A random second hand smartphone, with a custom Android ron and no Google crap on it.

    Also I’m constantly behind a VPN, just in case they can still get some useful data from me.

    I consider that WAY better than buying a shitty iPhone

      Which is why I stay away from Google’s products too.

      I guess can see how buying items second hand and flashing a ROM is not quite the same as buying a brand new phone running Android, but it seems unfair to then besmirch all iPhone users.

        Did I really say anything about iPhone users? I suggested to boycott Apple and I stated that I don’t use their products.

        Then someone accused me of being an hypocrite, out of literally nowhere.

    Not OP but GrapheneOS on a Pixel probably works quite well. Got independent app stores such as FDroid etc.

      Still gives money to Google though.

        From Ebay it sure doesn’t. That’s like claiming Nintendo gets a cut of second hand cartridge sales.

      That is what I use, but it still dependent upon Google, for both software and hardware.

      While I look forward to Linux phones being usable, but I haven’t had that experience yet.
