Used pixel actually limit a lot the choice. I’ve not dived into de-googled phone yet but from what I understood postmarketOS seems like the used/old phone OS
I’ve never investigated for iPhones but would be curious
if they exist
how bloody hard they are to get going
I can only speak for laptops/desktops and it being a bitch.
There’s a reason I’m very adamant at hating Apple for a multitude of technical reasons. This is but one of them. It’s a shame too because their build quality is really S-Tier.
I think it’s ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.
Ditch Google
Step 1: Send them money
Used phones: exist
Users who constantly repost this same comment: “doesn’t look like anything to me.”

Doesnt calyxos also work on fairphone
“work” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here when talking about a Fairphone. Worst phone I ever owned with quite some margin.
LineageOS works on a bunch of non google phones
I’m running lineage os on a Motorola moto g7 power (2019) Android 15 runs fine on a 6 year old phone.
That isn’t really true especially with Calyx OS
Thise are just different flavors. I need a pixel 8 pro xl equivalent device that runs linux natively. All thw postmarket phones are ancientx
Same reason it continually sucks to get a working Linux build on an apple laptop or desktop.
As bad as Google is, they’re lightyears ahead of Apple in terms of protecting their products in a walled garden.
Really? What’s your favorite custom ROM for modern iPhones?

I would get a Nokia flip phone but they cost a bit. Cheaper to get something someone is throwing out
