1 year agoLinux phones lack in all aspects compared to AOSP: security and privacy enforcement (mandatory sandboxing, permission control, full-system MAC, verified boot), usability and compatibility with the mobile app ecosystem. The much better approach would be to get a Google Pixel and install GrapheneOS. This will get you a very secure and private smartphone with almost perfect Android app compatibility.

Btw GrapheneOS and other Android OS’s run with the Linux kernel, so technically they are Linux even though they aren’t called this way.
