A tech news sub for communists

Hello Lemmians,

I've recently moved over to Linux Mint for Windows and I'm very happy with the decision. There are only like 2 things I can't do on Mint but I'm confident I could do them if I invested some more time. Anyway, my system is on dual boot so I could start Windows if I wanted to / needed it.

Now, I'd love to do the same on my phone, basically eliminating techbrofash stuff and replacing it with something FOSSy. It's a Samsung from 2018, do I have any chances? Specifically, having to use a Google account all the time bugs me.

I'm not a heavy phone user since I prefer computers, but as you all understand I'm not keen on having Netanyahu & friends know at what time of night I pee.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

The support for a de-googled OS will be determined by your Samsung phone model, start there. You may want to eBay a used phone to experiment with.

Lineage OS supports these models: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

e/OS supports these models: https://doc.e.foundation/devices

Graphene OS supports these models: https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices <-Pixel only

Thanks a lot! Will research ASAP ๐Ÿ˜€
