    Wish there were better 3rd party mobile options. On pc I can install Linux on any laptop made in the last 15 years and it will work basically flawlessly. No such equivalent exists for smart phones

      FairPhone can run Postmarket OS, eOS, iodeos, calyxos and lineageos.

      Some have longer support than others. Also you can buy separate parts for their phones and they are modular.

        Yes but do they support the digital national ID and SSO apps that are (only) avaliable for android and apple? Until they do, a lot of users are going to be locked into those two big OS vendors. 😞

          I don’t get it.

          you’re in a thread discussing the finer points of privacy concerns about a corporation snooping on your apps and your only example of a barrier to not use a privacy focused product is…your requirement for government backdoors and spyware?

          also SSO works just fine on eOS. unless you’re talking about googles MFA. at that point why are you even concerned about privacy?

                and so, OP’s SSO problems are null since eOS has no issue running it due to it just being android under the hood.

                that apk doesn’t install on arm Linux. Comparing eOS to Postmarket is apples to oranges. eOS is still chained by the buttcheeks to AOSP and Android.

                AOSP may not contain google services, but you’re still at their mercy. No Google = No AOSP, or whenever they feel like it. Tomorrow, maybe.

          The Mindset:

          Lineage doesn’t support my phone

          I bought a phone that isn’t supported by Lineage

          👌👌💯

          I guarantee their device wiki existed before you bought your phone.
