Alternative to GrapheneOS (feddit.org)

Im considering buying a new phone and i don't really consider a Pixel. I really like Fairphones approach, with the self repairable stuff. Even though they don‘t have a headphone jack. But well… I can’t change it. I’ll definitely go with the adapter over wireless headphones.

But to my question: What private OSes are there? Fairphone sells FP4s with eOS, how is that? And does it work on the FP5? GrapheneOS only works on Google Pixels right?

What about de-googled android? Is that private/secure?

Yeah Fairphones all are fair and whatnot until you find out their software isn’t fair and they don’t give a shit about managing security properly nor collaborating with others such as GrapheneOS.

I found the following website to be a definitive source for comparisons of all sorts, including this one:

Too bad it's hosted on Microsoft's GitHub. Wish open source proponents would stick to open source solutions
