Constantly, to the point where I’m considering what concessions I would have to make to start using a linux phone. I’ve also considered the possibility of reverting to not having a phone anymore and supplementing my communication needs through other means.

yes, but my phone isnt supported. I’m looking a lot at mobile linux but thats still a ways off.

iOS is like wearing a straightjacket (I say this with using iOS daily, and having used Macs since 1985).

Linux isn’t ready for daily driver.

So, no

I switched to iOS a few years ago after my OG pixel finally died and work was offering me a new iPhone for free. At this point I don’t really want to go through the hassle of migrating again. I have been keeping an eye on the whole Linux phone thing though because it’s really interesting. Without tap to pay or any sort of android auto/car play support I don’t think I’ll be fully switching anyway though.

EDIT: I re-read the post and realized OP was talking about android ROMs. As an iOS user I don’t really have a place in this conversation but I’ll leave my original post up anyway.

Im on android since 2.x. Awesome android experience since I discovered Cyanogenmod for my xperia mini pro a long time ago, and as continuation Lineageos. Since I have not used stock rom. I would never buy apple even if google would make it impossible for lineage os to keep up development. I would buy linux phone 100% if it matures.

I’m carrier locked until my phone is paid off, so I can’t do anything until after that. I’m probably going to go with Graphene since I have a Pixel. Admittedly, my reason for switching is less to do with privacy (though I would like to have more than stock offers) and more to do with Google’s upcoming restrictions on installing apps from non-registered developers. If I wanted a corporation telling me what I can do with my phone then I’d just go back to iOS.

there are only two viable ecosystems:

• android based
• stock iOS
• niche Linux phones not ready for daily use

The post is basically asking if people will move to apple, and I don’t want to give up side loading, newpipe, and my open source freedom.

Moved from Android on a Samsung S24 to /e/OS on a fairphone 6 and will probably move to Lineage if and when there’s a build for this phone. It’s been fairly frictionless but I was already pretty degoogled by now so the only big change was losing contactless and I just keep my card in my phone case now instead for the same effect. Even though One UI on the Galaxy has its problems, I think it’s a better UI than the stock Android UI which /e/ uses. Apart from that, I’m pretty happy with it so far, even if it isn’t the gold standard that Graphene is. I can’t see myself ever moving to iOS though, I would probably prefer a basic flip phone.

I’ve basically degoogled mine as is, but I really do wish I could switch my tablet off samsung’s nightmare OS. Every update they move/change/add things, even though I have updates turned off. They keep remapping things to use that ridiculous bixby thing.

So yes, the moment it’s supported, it’s getting switched.

Yes. I have some old phones that I play with when I have time. I find that /e/ is pretty good, but I’m a little bit iffy on the company atm. So now I’m trying to build postmarketOS for my Galaxy S9, which is a fun and frustrating journey.

I do want to try Graphene, but I don’t have a Pixel and really don’t want to buy more phones when I have multiple that works.

Also I need certain apps for work so I can’t completely rid myself of Google and Microsoft. At times I have had two phones in active use, but I find myself defaulting to work phone since I’m required to have it on me for most of the day anyway.

I would if I could. I only found out Verizon has some bullshit lock on my phone that prevents me from at least trying GrapheneOS. Likely the last time I buy from them and I’ll bring my own device next time.

If anyone knows a way around the Verizon lock let me know.

yep
