There are probably just as many good reasons to boycott Google’s Android — most phone resellers can’t resist adding their own launcher, spyware, bloatware.

What alternatives are there for daily phone use?

• Sailfish is a gorgeous and mostly complete phone operating system — if you live in Europe and are willing to add an alternate operating system to your Sony phone. But it lacks many apps, if that’s important to you.
• Someone else already explained the pros and cons of GrapheneOS.
• “Dumb” feature phones lack security, privacy, and apps.
• Linux phones don’t appear to be complete; the open hardware is limited and clunky, while the hardware that can be re-used from Android depends on binary blobs

For an off the shelf phone, I personally would rather buy Apple than any Android phone because of links to Google. Looking forward to a truly open-source, free as in freedom phone that has hardware comparable with leading commercial platforms.

For a desktop or laptop, I personally would choose Linux over macOS, even though most hardware depends on closed-source drivers from the manufacturers. (If you look carefully, there are truly open and free as in freedom hardware platforms, though the range is limited).
