LineageOS supports the most devices, GrapheneOS is the absolute best if you're looking for privacy and security and have a Pixel Phone. You can buy Fairphones and Teracube with /e/OS preinstalled if you're insecure about flashing your phone yourself.
I think lineage is probably the one, although that one doesn’t seem completely de-googled? I see some people talking about a version that is but something about signature spoofing and thats a security problem… I’m not sure what to make of it. I don’t want to do graphene because it just seems hypocritical to buy a google phone when I’m trying to stop giving google money and my data.
Fairphones look good if I can get one - I wonder if there’s a way to get the new one shipped to the US. I think my only hang up there is the lack of a wireless charger. I can get past that but I have a number of wireless chargers in my house and cars that I do enjoy. Weird that it doesn’t have it, and weird to realize it’s become an important feature for me.
I'm not sure tbh, I'm not using Lineage myself. I tried it on a VM once and there was Google stuff all over it, so I asked online and Lineage users told me it was a weird VM image and their phones were degoogled.
Uff, I almost already thought I were the only one thinking this way xD It's my issue with Graphene, too, and I wish FP would make a phone in collaboration with Graphene so I could have both lol
I can see wireless charging can be a nice commodity, but FP gives a reason, it's not weird and it's the same reason I personally stay away from wireless charging phones in general: it's an utter waste of energy. Wireless charging needs around 50% more power compared to regular USB-C-charging and for a company that's focused on reducing waste and being sustainable where possible, I guess it's an easy way.
