    Unless one of those Linux OS’s can run Android apps through emulation with the same speed and reliability as an android device its probably not practical yet.

    Have you tried the French edition /e/ OS? I’m on it ATM and it has a few good integrations like an app store that gives apps an privacy respecting rating and better calendar, contacts and tasks connectability with nextcloud

    I’ve heard a lot of people have a good experience with GrapheneOS as well on the Google Pixel phones as well. Might be my next phone and OS to try

    Never considered anything other than Android, but it’s an excellent idea. It’s a shame none of the options are good. Anyone have any insight as to why things suck?

      I’d say wildly variable hardware configurations with poor driver support.

      The situation would improve if hardware vendors would upstream the code, but I just don’t see it.

        As much as Alphabet sucks ass, I have had very good results with Nexus/Pixel devices and LineageOS. All the hardware seems to be supported right down to high-framerate mode on the camera on the Pixel2.
