Phone / no Android rom recommendation

Phone / no Android rom recommendation

Hello all,
I am looking to upgrade my phone and ditch Google along the way. I am researching a lot about Lineage OS and Graphene OS. Linux on phones isn't quite ready if I read correctly.

I am looking into feedback of experience of non Android phones please.

Thank you very much!

  • What are your needs and what specific problems are you trying to address by changing platforms?

    • @Ghostalmedia I have signed off Netflix Amazon prime Spotify, replaced it with sonar radarr lidarr etc.. I'm a long time Linux user. Very recently switched all social media by fediverse. I want to completely disconnect from Google and that implies getting rid of Android.

      • Interesting. So basically you’re looking for experiences that aren’t owned and operated by tech giants.

        This might be worth posting in an open source community. I was going to recommend some stuff, but it was just stuff owned by an even bigger company. ;)

  • What's the goal here? Getting rid of Google Apps?

    Keep in mind flashing your phone voids the warranty.

    • @orhtej3 iam okay with the warranty, I never use the built in os of devices usually.

      As explained in the other comment (my bad, should have made a better original post) I am looking to completely disconnect from Google. I have been working even on a peertube and migrated my YouTube channel.
