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

    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.)

    @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.
