minus-squarelaverabe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoWell not entirely true. There are a few Linux phones, like Pinephone that break free of Google. I don’t own one but I’m leaning towards getting the pinephone pro, even if it’s a little rough around the edges. I’m not sure what sort of applications are available in it’s “store” but I think it would work as a daily driver for basic use. I personally hardly use any apps anyway, mostly just phone, sms, and Firefox.
