I’ve concluded that the only way I will be able to dump Android or iOS in the near future is with Harmony NextOS. Yeah, my data will be in the hands of the Chinese, but that sounds preferable to the US, NATO, and 5-Eyes at the moment. Maybe Burkina Faso will save us all by manufacturing and releasing an open source, repairable phone.

Reddit nihs when CCP does absolutely nothing different from their NSA: 😡😡😡
Btw what phone are you planning ROM?
I have zero brand loyalty when it comes to phones. The wife has a Xiaomi and an old Huawei she uses as an iPod. I’m using a Realme that I bought after my Samsung died.
@Bronstein_Tardigrade You probably know about GrapheneOS and have a reason not to use it? If not, it might be worth looking at. (Buying an out of date used Pixel phone, required for Graphene, isn’t expensive.)
I do not live in the US and Pixel phones are virtually non existent here. Unless I can load it on Samsung, Huawei, Vivo, or OPPO, it’s not of much use. I have seen Harmony for offer on a few Huawei phones out of my price range, so have to wait on more market saturation.
@Bronstein_Tardigrade .ml being Mali? Do any of the global mail order places deliver there? (Not suggesting you use them, just wondering. Amazon-australia, for instance, sometimes doesn’t deliver to New Zealand. 🙄 )
I’m pretty sure I’ve read recently about a Samsung model that works with linux (can’t find it now of course). Things move pretty quick so it may be different now, but a couple of years ago when I was looking, none of the linux phones worked reliably as _phones_. If you need calling and texting, that’s a problem!
The one with systemd
but if you expect Android or iOS levels of polish, then this is not for you yet.
“Android levels of polish” is crazy.
Polish refers to rough edges being removed, doesn’t have to mean it’s a perfect idea
Android has so many rough edges, it should be considered digital sandpaper.
android itself is quite good actually.
the google apps and proprietary garbage they shoehorn in is the real problem.
Ok, fair enough.
I get why they did it but its still sad
Why? (Just curious; I’m not familiar with the Linux phone scene)
It uses a ton of resources but Gnome demands it
