  • None of them are GrapheneOS
  • eOS is trash
  • Fairphone is notoriously slow in regards to shipping security updates, making their phones unusable for anyone who care about security and privacy (since without security, there can be no privacy)

I'm having a tough time deciding. On the one hand Pixel+GrapheneOS would probably be the most private and secure. On the other hand, Fairphone would be the easiest to repair.

I like doing things myself (up to a point) and not being at the mercy of some repair shop. I also don't want to buy another phone for a really long time.

Although the Trump regime is also a real threat....

Would you say this is relevant if you want to use Linux?

Why is eOS trash?

[–] slamphear@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I was wondering the same thing. I've been daily driving /e/OS for over a month now, and I've been really happy with it. And that's after I had bounced off of GrapheneOS at the beginning of last year!
