Im considering buying a new phone and i don’t really consider a Pixel. I really like Fairphones approach, with the self repairable stuff. Even though they don‘t have a headphone jack. But well… I can’t change it. I’ll definitely go with the adapter over wireless headphones.

But to my question: What private OSes are there? Fairphone sells FP4s with eOS, how is that? And does it work on the FP5? GrapheneOS only works on Google Pixels right?

    No given the recent Cellebrite leak. You’re only secure if you use Pixel 6 and after, stock or GOS.

    Of course that mostly only apply if you put government into your threat model.

      That’s a threat to any device. Also the pixel scored way better than many other devices
