Today 10 years ago I went to Poland to buy a Phone with pre installed #Firefox OS on. The Phone was a Alcatel One, so very shitty. Two years later I installed Firefox OS on my Nexus 5 instead.

It was a very good concept, but sadly rolled out on too shitty hardware so it never caught on.

I was pretty happy with my lineage-os install that had the play store as the only google service. F-droid for other apps, nextcloud for cloud+calendar. But you need an unlockable phone and a bank that allows unlocked phones for their app.

If its only cuz of the unlocked bootloader have a look at DivestOS, Graphene or Calyx

Edit: i use my ING Banking App on my Pixel 6 with graphene and before on my OP6 with Divest

Yeah my next phone will probably be a pixel specifically so I can load it with GrapheneOS.
