    I am on linux mint on my desktop snd rarely used laptop. All what is left is my phone.

    It is a Samsung s23… with no graphene OS and I got a fucking year before paying it all off. My next phone MUST be degoogled. I need new emails that aren’t linked to my Google account in any shape or form, and I only use Gmail through my desktop when needed.

      Moto G 5G 2024 (anywhere from $140 to $200 USD) is the cheapest phone I’ve found so far that supposedly allows bootloader unlocking. But you’ll need to request unlock codes from Motorola. Supported by Lineage OS and CalyxOS (Calyx has temporarily paused development)

      Nothing phone 1 & 2 and CMF 2 also has custom rom support, but its hard to find them now adays, and the 3 and newer doesn’t seem to have custom roms bult for them yet.

        That was my old phone… before a single drop of water destroyed it (no fucking joke!) Otherwise I would have transition to graphene OS or other more private platforms.
