@eliasr And I would not mind a phone like Librem5 or PinePhone. But unless dual boot, I do not believe I manage to get them work with the example apps. Or if if I install LineageOS, PostmarketOS, or the other OS I am aware of, on an Android phone. Tell me any suggestion you know.
@eliasr I can sympathize with your suggestion. It has occurred to me too. It will not happen soon for me, but anyway: which OS do you suggest and why, for a free phone? Regarding mobile in general, I use it for as little as possible, not only for privacy. I prefer computer with big screen, keyboard and mouse. So very few apps on mobile.
@hehemrin one way to handle all this is to have two phones, one with a free OS which you strive to use for everything you can and use more and more, and another one that is only for the few things that you think only work for Apple/Google. Turn that off most of the time and only pick it out when you really have to, and strive to use it as seldom as possible. Always ask for ways to use your free phone instead, so that you contribute to the growth and demand for free alternatives.
