I was thinking about using graphene OS, but I’ve read some lemmy users dislike this OS due to perceived misleading advertising and the pixel 7a you’re supposed to install graphene on because it’s from google (an advertising company).
Another option would be lineage OS, but there is so much false information about this OS, namely compatible phones that simply don’t work with this OS and no support.
what works for you? I want a phone with no google, that doesn’t force me to use the manufacturer’s ecosystem and that won’t show the apps I don’t want or need (on an asus I own you cannot neither get rid nor hide bloatware)
I like the 7. IIRC, the 6 had reliability issues, and the 5 was only available in a smaller size.
I’ve been using a 6 since it’s release, it’s been solid for me. The 7 is slightly sleeker/smaller but they’re almost identical in performance.
If you want updates, may be go for gen 6/7. 5a won’t be receiving updates after August 2024.
