Like I don’t have space in my life right now to do a whole lot of actual tinkering but google is pissing me off and I just remember in middle school just being able to change the boot order in the bios and plug in a usb stick and a few hours later having mint installed. What’s the easiest way to get a clean de-googled os on my phone?
Since it keeps coming up, I have a unihertz atom, a moto g 2022 and one of these monstrosities
Extra bonus question, if I do wind up buying a new phone in the future what brands should I look out for? (But I’d like to keep using what I have until the hardware breaks if possible).
lineage and its siblings like graphene. degoogled or with microg if you can. i think you can bypass some banks and stuff for detecting root, but it is annoying and impractical afaik.
postmarket if you are feeling adventurous, it’s full gnu/linux and an alpha quality experience.
that’s if your phone supports any of it at all. they don’t make it too easy for you to own your own phone.
