I hear Linux phones are close for daily driver stuff. Gonna try one when I am ready for a phone.
Pretty disappointed in my 2 year old pixel, regardless of Googles continued enshitification
Have you looked into GrapheneOS support for your device?
Sucks that it only works on Pixels for the most part. I've never paid that much for a phone, and I ain't starting now lol
Maybe get used? That way you don't support Google and it doesn't cost too much. Not sure how much mine cost, I got it as a gift from my mother who's pretty good about finding sales for things, although it was brand-new.
If not that then people seem to see CalyxOS as a decent alternative.
Not CalyxOS right now.

I went with /e/OS, and it works well, even bank apps.
Let me put this here:
Murena (the ppl behind /e/ OS) feed your data to LLMs, and there's also telemetry.
Stop exaggerating. The OpenAI speech-to-text service is a paid extra you don't accidentally switch on, and telemetry is off by default and hidden in the developer options menu.
(But yeah, OpenAI was a disgusting choice. The default should have been local, even if it's worse.)
FYI, I just got LineageOS on a cheap Motorola phone ($140 USD, but you need a PC to do the install)
Nice! I have a PC! I'm just very cheap!
I got to expense mine, wouldn't pay that much if i had to actually pay lol
@chocrates @DeathByBigSad If you're already used to Linux desktop, I'd even venture to say that Linux phones are daily drivable for you in this order: #FLX1s from @furilabs, #JollaC2, #LibertyPhone, #Librem5, #Pinephone.
I'm daily driving a #Librem 5 with #postmarketOS and everything critical actually works for my use case.
Awesome! Yeah I run Ubuntu at home for years. Sadly back to Mac at work
