Wanted to get a new phone since my S20 is starting to show its age. And with all the enshitification of Android lately I thought it'd be good to try a different phone OS.

However, I don't really want to buy a Google Pixel so GrapheneOS is a no go. I was really interested in the Fold 7 but it seems that will not be possible to get without Android. Thought DivestOS was good but it looks like support ended in 2024.

What other phone OS are people using?

I've heard good things about Iode OS. Apparently it's security focused but I honestly haven't looked in to it at all

No, it is not.

They forked LinaegeOS, which is 0 security oriented, stripped it of all its private services (like Seedvault) and now want the user to pay a subscription for their non encrypted backup servers and a shitty DNS blocker

Yeah that's pretty shitty

Be aware that they use a freemium model. You'll have to pay for their built-in ad blocker to be useful.

That's a little stupid. I use vpn with adblocking capabilities, I feel like that will accomplish the same thing

It doesn't block nothing without payment, but it doesn't block everything either, which makes it useless IMO.
