Check out the supported device lists of Graphene OS, Postmarket OS and Ubuntu Touch.

As a long time Ubuntu touch supporter and tester, I unfortunately have to say that it simply isn't ready for a lot of users at the moment :(

Even if you're willing to put up with most of its shortcomings, VoLTE device support is extremely limited.

But don't get me wrong, I REALLY want this stuff to be the future, I think it just needs a bit more time.

Yes. I wanted to do that, but when my last phone broke it was a damn emergency. I was distrustful of phone protection because I remember getting a phone that was armored up in a case and had a tempered glass screen but... it once (first time) fell flat from my shirt pocket onto the ground flat on its front screen and it immediately went black. I had it fixed. New screen, new protector, but the protector made it possible to plug it into charge... so I had to remove it in and out of the case to do so, but the screen was broken from the pressing (like fucking how? A new changed screen AND another tempered glass cover and it was still broken just a stronger finger press?) It just kept breaking. I then refused to use protection for years after that.

But the new one I got? I think it is protection that actually works.

I got a Samsung S23. Before I get a new phone I need to remove 2fa from a lot of shit so they dont have my new phone.

I want to ask a hell of a lot more questions about this, but later.
