Nice to see a mainstream option de-Googled in the US.

Buy a Pixel phone and flash CalyxOS or GrapheneOS.

As a GrapheneOS user I approve this message. (altho I'd rather support Fairphones than Pixels, so I am happy we have them as an option :)

Until de-Googled phones are sold at local stores, I will only tell people to buy a Pixel and flash it for better hardware security and every kind of custom ROM runs on Pixel.

CalyxOS is also available for the Fairphone and you don't have to give money to Google.

Here's to hoping that GrapheneOS will expand their support to devices like the fairphone.

Only if the Fairphone hardware is built with hardware standards complience and no proprietary setup.

Anything similar for Galaxy phones? I like the smaller size.

I made an error taking on a Samsung galaxy, expecting it to be "well supported in the mod community". It was the S10 (Exynos edition).

Turned out, in 2020, it was not well supported. And I moved to an even less supported Sony. Then I got a pixel, and now getting a custom ROM for a device released weeks ago is possible.

For flashing Galaxy you have to check each individual ROM if it supports Samsung. The security ones do not.
