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)

    Lineage OS is a base system that you can use to get the AOSP experience with modern apps. It is most certainly not for just for older phones. It also is going to be updated more frequently than anything else.

        but as the name implies, it’s intended for older phones to increase their life

        From above

          Yes I’m fully aware of the comment that I wrote some hours ago. Read it again. More carefully this time.
