No thanks, I’d rather use a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS

    Still can’t get over the closed-source OS part. How do you know its privacy-first if you can’t verify it?

      But you can. Its Linux+GNU with a partially open, partially closed source UI. So you can run tracing utilities and other tools even wireshark!) to check that it values your privacy. That statement that it is a fully closed OS from the OP is wrong.

        If there’s even one proprietary BLOB inserted into your open-source OS, you no longer have an open-source OS. Pity, I really really liked the SailfishOS look&feel when I tried it briefly in 2015ish.
