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.

    It’s really better to NOT start this discussion again, it always bring to flame. You just need to know that GrapheneOS is a good product and developers are really good at their job in maintaining it. And still calyx, lineage, and /e/ are great product too that a lot of people can safely and happily use. Just don’t follow internet drama and use what you want to use

      No, GrapheneOS developer and community is disgusting and for the most part FUD spreaders. Plenty people who dumped GrapheneOS know how toxic and unhelpful the community is. They are a bunch of rabid dogs on the internet (Techlore community called them that) that troll and attempt to shut down any criticism.
