That is exactly what I have. I am not willing to compromise my ethical values and to give money to a truly evil company.

I just find it hypocritical that GOS requires Google made phones and at the same time says its a bad company.

    The hardware is hardware, my guy. Most people running desktop linux are using hardware mainly comprised from the work of companies with shitty reputations.

    GOS has a set of required specs to ensure the security it's famous for, and the pixel happened to meet them due to their developer-focused design implementations. Luckily, Motorola can now see the economic opportunity of leaning into that as well.

    Agreed, and until the Moto Graphene phone drops one can just buy a used Pixel from a trusted marketplace like Swappa, and no money goes to Google from that used device sale. Save money and keep a perfectly good used phone out of a landfill at the same time.
