I mostly use apps installed from F-Droid, so I’m not sure how I’ll use the phone, except that it’s sometimes required as a contact method.

Linux or bust. We need to humble these companies at any costs. Open software open hardware

This is a good idea, except that it requires money. I already have an old Pixel right here that I can put Graphene on.

I guess my point is, it's not necessary to harass people about their choice of phone OS before you know their situation. 🤷

Okay, I'll just install debian on my phone then, thanks for the advice.

Jesus!

Which phone do you suggest then? Like I ALSO have a Librem 5, it's just a lot of quirk. Its also not an answer to someone with an Android phone already unless they just have extra money for it. Hopefully we see better Android emulation on Librem type phones though and that gap closes.
