    The core of Android is actually open source…if you install an aftermarket Android ROM like Lineage OS, you can avoid the closed source Google components (for the most part).

      Graphene OS is amazing, if you’re degoogled. Terrible if you need Google, though.

      I tried it and loved it until I tried to get my work Google account working, lol.

      LineageOS is a good option if you still need Google on your phone since you can install GApps.
