Interesting article from a generalist magazine. According to it:

  • Best Preinstalled Phone: Fairphone 6 With /e/OS
  • Best for Pixel Phones: GrapheneOS
  • Best for Non-Pixel Phones: /e/OS
  • For the DIY Tinkerer: LineageOS

    Honestly Graphene is the only one that I’d trust unless you’re not going to add any Google play services at all with Lineage, and I’m including micro G on that too.

    Sailfish OS is beautiful and really nice, decent app support, but kind of a pain in the USA, postmarketos shows strong promise, but doesn’t have VOLTE support yet which makes it a dealbreaker for me personally. I know a lot of folks love UBports, it never really was something I enjoyed. I’m really hoping to use Sailfish in the USA someday

      Have you actually used sailfishos? It isn’t much better than using an Ubuntu touch device:

      • app support is still pretty weak
      • no volte
      • big, big problems still with using MMS
      • SMS problems (still) while data is on
      • networking stack is very buggy for android apps (WhatsApp calls are unusable)
      • no 5g
      • no nfc

      If you had a different experience, I’d love to know how you achieved it.
