I recently got myself a Pixel 7 Pro. the preinstalled OS really tries to push all the Google stuff on you, which isn’t great.
but after a quick look around for 1 hour, I installed GrapheneOS and am very happy with it
although I’d really like to have a Linux smartphone. but there seems to be none with good hardware…
Nah, I wanna have a real Linux system, complete with userspace environment and my complete control over everything
GrapheneOS is pretty cool for now though.
I haven’t tried PostmarketOS.
But I’m so in love with my Steam Deck. it’s just pure beauty to have a complete Linux system in this lovely package. I can just ssh into it :-D
so, it would be awesome to have a device, that would fit in my IT environment. Apple products work better/exclusively with Apple products, Linux stuff works better with Linux stuff.
You can flash your own mobile linux os to it. I know a guy who did. But he was very knowledgeable about that stuff. And so privacy focused he wouldn’t even show it off 😭
I haven’t checked for the Pixel for now, but for every older phone (usually OnePlus’) there was always something missing - only the OP One was well supported, which speaks for this company’s decisions…
I doubt he put actual Linux. There is no Linux distros for pixel phones above the 4a. You can put termux on your phone but that’s really not the same thing. Trust me I’ve been looking lol

Android uses the Linux kernal, so it is technically linux

Right the Linux phones seem to be more for tinkering than anything. I can’t really convince myself that’d be suitable for my every day life lol
