Jolla with SailfishOS or Motorola with Graphene? (lemmy.world)

I just got my pre-order of the Jolla Phone confirmed. I was super stoked on having a European Linux Based phone.

However Motorola announced collaboration with Graphene during this period.

I am really torn, I love Motorolas and have used them for the last five years. Also Graphene seems a bit more open source and secure ad I've always said I would switch the instant they launched on a non-google phone.

Does anyone here have input on this, or maybe suggestions for a certain comm where this question would find better ground? (I didn't want to ask os specific comms as that would be unbecoming)

Motorola with GrapheneOS for me because: I don't have the money to make a choice, and I already know GrapheneOS well enough. BUT if I had more freedom to choose, I would keep my old phone and try Jolla with Linux. I know that it's not a useful answer, but in the past I have always switched between multiple Linuxes, or between iOS and Android, and it gave me a good experience and comparison in this ever changing landscape.

If I were you, I would keep the Jolla for 2 or 3 years and try to understand how it's better or worse than the other OS. As long as you properly backup your files, emails, passwords, and calendars, switching back to GrapheneOS or anything else shouldn't be a problem.

Last but not least, the Motorola phone may not be available immediately, which means it's not a choice for anyone right now. Don't be a slave to the FOMO mindset.

Thanks for your perspective. I fell I need to make clear I don't own the Jolla yet, I've pledged and put up some money, but I could still hold out. I need to decide on my order per april 30th.

But thanks for your imput! Well written and well reasoned
