Hello
I’m being pushed into the market by google/android to acquire a new phone due to it slowing down. I’m sick of this marketing tactic and the clutter of preinstalled apps and junk software.
What phone and operating system could I get that could allow me to use for a long period of time and out of reach from subversive tactics from giant corporations?
I’m basically a farmer and so know nothing about coding and not too technologically oriented but would really like to break away from the capitalist/hyperconsumerist phone craze. Thank you.

Any recommended tutorials on how to install this stuff? Looks like Lineage is the most applicable to my phone.
The Lineage site had decent instructions for my phone
Edit: You only have to do this once, so take time to read and understand the instuctions before you start.
Holy Moly. I guess because I have a Verizon and not a “global” phone, I am not permitted to unlock the phone. Capitalism has thwarted me.
Yeah, that is awful. I got lucky and mine wasn’t. The next phone I buy I will know to make sure it isn’t unlockable. Actually I will probably just go for a phone with a good OS installed already.
