A question as old as time, I know.

I’m getting away from Google and I’ve done the easy stuff: CoMaps, Proton mail (I know, not the best move), aveslibre, etc. I currently don’t have the time (or the knowledge base) to learn how to self host, but hopefully that will replace Drive and such in the future.

But I digress. I’m looking at a new OS for my phone. I’m currently in a contract with a phone that is incompatible with alternative OSs. Graphene needs a Pixel. Used, they’re $150-400. /e/OS will run on a Motorola or whatever and those are like $80.

There’s also the option of going full Fairphone with /e/os and I like that idea in the future.

The internet people tell me that Graphene is the best due to ease of installation, privacy, and security.

I don’t need a lot of security. I just want Google to stop suckling all that sweet, sweet data from my teat.

What are your thoughts?

      My daughter installed both just by reading the manual on internet .

      It was more like a fun  project for her , she  has to learn sometime, it takes less than 1 hours to install.

      Youre phone must be OEM unlocked.

      Iam  more in to linux .

      Greatings from Belgium ,stay safe .
