Alright, time to go to a different phone. Gonna buy Fairphone tomorrow.

(Or Motorola, if it’s true that it’s gonna have GrapheneOS on it).

Live image and test?

do you mean I’d download a distro, put it on a USB, and then extract/open it in there, and test it out?

(and ofc, saving my data on my own desktop on an external hard disk, before committing to switch)?

Would it work for general usage too?

Within Linux I see ‘beginner’, ‘intermediate’ and ‘advanced’ users mentioned, but I’m not sure where I’d fall, or what those would roughly denote.

Like I’m familiar with what a terminal is and how it can be used for commands, I’m not like an old grandma not knowing what the big red X button does, I know not to delete system32 or to avoid sudo rm rf, but I’m not familiar with a shell, setting up an IP of your own, that stuff. I think this would label me as an average user for whom intermediate distros would be possible, but I’m not sure.

Re: the EndeavourOS, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed also has a nice installer, no?

Fairphone has a slightly different focus, mainly sustainability and ethics (labour rights, production). Graphene’s more on the privacy side.

Would be dope though, to have it on there as well.

That’d be a dream!

This is honestly the answer.

Agreed, decentralisation and ease of switching is key.

Palantir are a terrorist company

Terrible, it should never be allowed that companies can grow this large.

Source?

edit: nvm, see a few comments down below. i was too impatient.

The only thing they care about is profit and what would maximise it for them.

e/OS too, if Graphene fails or isn’t available. Or Murena.
