@PumpkinDrama I''ll switch to postmarketOS 😃
I will probably move to HarmonyOS while keeping an eye on how OpenHarmony develops
OniroOS hopefully will be out by then. If not then PostMarketOS. Harmony OS is rumoured to be launching globally in 2026 but I doubt.
Already can't find a phone with the hardware I want. Might as well get an iphone since I won't be able to do half the shit I want to either way.
Use a dumbphone and hold onto a smartphone to use only when necessary. I have a Sunbeam F1 Pro for daily use. And I have a Moto G Power, purchased used, that I use maybe once every other week for bike maps, public transit, and restaurant QR codes. I'm hoping with how amazing the battery is that will last until 5G inevitably gets phased out. I was using FOSS apps with that, but I'll just go back to the App Store. Post-DOGE, my threat model doesn't require degoogling anymore.
Maybe eventually I'll move to GrapheneOS, provided it finds a way to exist without using Google products and services. I have high hopes for Ubuntu Touch in the 2030s.
For me it's less about finding a new daily driver and more about limiting the time spent on an Android phone.
I'm going full dumbphone with a flip phone and using single purpose devices like mp3 players for music and handhelds for gaming and emulation.
get a flip phone
I'm still rocking Android 8/10/11, will continue to do so until I can't run a proper web browser.
Block or revert updates or install via adb/shizuko if that still works. Otherwise I will have to start saving for an expensive phone that supports custom ROMs.
Install them over ADB like I already sometimes do now
CUSTOMS ROMS BABY
