I don’t like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

    That’s cool. Let me know when it gets support for GrapheneOS and finds it’s headphone jack again.

      The answer is likley never, GOS devs dont trust Fairphone devs (due to poor security practices) and Fairphone devs are unwilling (in some cases unable) to meet the extremely high standards for GOS.

        Doesn’t that basically equate to “yep, this is an android phone?”

          Yup. My current one is dying and I’m using it almost always wired to a charger or battery. I don’t care how badly they try to waste my battery, I’m not buying a new Android phone ever. If this one dies, I’m prepared to not use a phone until there’s a reasonably priced Linux phone.

        I’d just install another OS to begin with. But again, I’d reaaally like it to be GrapheneOS. And then again, Pixels also come with all that crap (and much more) enabled by default.

          Graphene doesn’t. The way I see it is like buying a laptop with pre-installed Windows, and replacing the OS.

        … That’s because it comes with vanilla android, unless you buy the e/OS version or flash it yourself
